Board Certified Periodontist

Dr. Park is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, a recognized specialty of the National Commission on Recognition of Dental Specialties and Certifying Boards. This is an honor only achieved through rigorous examination and staying up-to-date on the most recent research/clinical consensus on periodontology and implantology.

A Diplomate or Board Certified periodontist is one who has made significant achievements beyond the mandatory educational requirements of the specialty, and who is certified by the American Board of Periodontology. Board-certified periodontists are required to take significant hours of continuing education yearly and are recertified every 3 years.

To be educationally qualified for board certification requires:

  • Certification as a dentist, including basic college education and completion of dental school to earn the D.D.S. or D.M.D. degree, and;
  • Certification as a periodontist after at least three years of postdoctoral study in an ADA-approved program. This period of study is concentrated on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of periodontal disease.

In addition to the educational requirements, board certification requires:

  • Comprehensive oral and written examinations that cover all phases of periodontal disease and its treatment, including dental implants.
  • Presentation of detailed reports on a broad range of actual treatments personally performed by the periodontist.
