Board certification with the American Board of Periodontology (ABP) is an important indicator of a periodontist’s expertise and commitment to the highest standards of care. The ABP is the recognized board for the specialty of periodontics, and board certification is a rigorous process that requires extensive training and experience, as well as passing written and clinical exams.

According to the American Academy of Periodontology, only about 35% of periodontists in the United States are board certified by the ABP. This means that choosing a board-certified periodontist is a way to ensure that you are getting care from a specialist who has demonstrated the highest level of knowledge, skills, and experience in the field.

In summary, if you are seeking the best periodontal care, it’s a good idea to choose a periodontist who is board certified by the American Board of Periodontology. This distinction is a strong indication that the periodontist has met rigorous standards and is well-qualified to provide you with the highest level of specialty care.

Dr Rapoport, and Dr. Riccardo are board certified periodontists.
