I had a procedure done yesterday and I had another great experience with this provider and the staff. Holly, front desk, greeted me with her smile and compassion. Holly is the best person to represent what the practice is all about, kindness, patience and compassion. Dawn prepped me for the doctor, she expanded everything she was doing and answered all my nervous questions. Dawn is so kind, awesome and compassionate. She was there during the entire procedure talking to me and even singing softly. Dr. Schlueter came in with a cheerful good morning before he started. He was awesome. I'm so thankful I found this practice I even followed them when they moved there last year. I honestly can't even suggest and changes, they all do that great of a job. They're patient is first and foremost on all they do. Thank you!

From the moment I stepped into the office my nerves were settled. I just knew this was going to be terrible. I’ve had dental hysteria since I was a child. I’m 64 now so quite a welcomed surprise. I completely put all my trust in Dr. Schlueter. He was amazing and don’t use these words lightly. I a harsh critic. Every employee was so kind. I had a choice of three I planned to chose from. LOOK NO FURTHER, I found the best in my very first consultation. I didn’t have anyone to help choose my Dr. your lucky because you have me to eliminate some of the fears I had. I’m not worried at all about procedures done by him. Thanks Dr. Schlueter for calming 64 years of nightmares. I’m a LIFER!

10 stars!!!! Always!! Staff, hygienists and Drs at this place are EXPERTS in their field. I am a high maintenance patient, a 59 year old, and they make me feel safe and comfortable. I don’t cry anymore 🎉. My insurance helps pay for it because I have periodontal disease which must be treated to save my teeth. I highly recommend them for whatever periodontic issue you have or even just routine cleaning! I have had scaling treatments, gum graft, and I am pleased - my gums are much healthier- I even had a loose tooth that firmed up!! I prefer this office over my regular hygienist, so I come here for extra cleanings even if it is an out of pocket cost. The hygienists here are experts in cleaning at the gum line and in between and are careful to my sensitive areas. My Dr is Dr Schlueter, but I have met both providers, and they are kind and personable. I was taught me how to clean my teeth better and I am so thankful my dentist referred me here. I have been going here for several years. The staff are professional, respectful and empathetic 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟#keepyourteeth.

So grateful and thankful for Schlueter Periodontists and Implants for their kindness and support during my journey in and out of their office. Staff are professional and courteous during decision time and with help making appointments work with you. We all have our story for why we need a periodontist. I’ve never had anyone tell me, “You have pretty teeth.” Now I have. I am definitely grateful for the work they did.

My daughter needed a gum graft and we were referred here by her orthodontist. We were so impressed with everything from start to finish. The office is beautiful and clean. The receptionist was so welcoming and able to answer all my questions. The assistants and doctors were able to explain everything well so my daughter wasn’t nervous and was confident that she was getting exceptional care. Thank you for making this experience the best it could possibly be.

Dr. Schleuter and his staff are great. So far I’ve had two appointments with them, a referral/exam consultation and then my gum graft procedure. I have several follow up appointments to come. I had 3 areas/4 teeth done, and the procedure was very smooth. Him and his staff are very friendly and make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend them!

Dr Schlueter was very patient and thorough with me. He took the time to explain in detail, the 3 options available to me for my implant repair and bone loss rejuvenation. Compliments to my dental hygienist Meaghan, she was awesome! Very skilled, thorough, friendly and efficient. She put me at ease with her confidence. I was a little nervous going into my deep cleaning but the entire procedure was pain free during and the next day after the procedure.

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Schlueter. After dealing with a failed implant and bone loss from previous treatment elsewhere, he immediately identified the issue and created a clear plan to fix it. His expertise and attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. The entire staff was amazing and kind. I’m extremely grateful I found this practice.

After my former periodontist retired I came to Schlueter Periodontal. That was 20+ years ago and I have always been extremely happy with the service and care I have received. I can testify not all periodontal doctors are the same and Dr. Schlueter has taken great care of me.

Innovative All on X Implants

All-on-X dental implants embody a cutting-edge approach in dental restoration, offering a versatile and personalized solution for patients with varying degrees of tooth loss. This innovative method expands on the principles of the All-on-4 technique by allowing for the placement of four or more implants based on the individual’s dental structure and needs. The flexibility in the number of implants provides a tailored fit that ensures greater stability and support for the prosthetic teeth, catering to a wider range of bone densities and volumes.
 
This technique not only delivers a highly functional and aesthetic result but also promotes long-term oral health by preserving jawbone integrity and facilitating easier maintenance. Patients opting for All-on-X can enjoy a customized, secure, and comfortable solution that closely resembles natural teeth, offering significant improvements in both function and confidence.
