Pacific Northwest Periodontics is a prominent dental clinic located in Seattle, Washington, specializing in periodontics and advanced dental implant procedures. The clinic is primarily led by
Dr. Darrin Rapoport, a highly experienced and board-certified periodontist and a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, a distinction held by only about 10% of periodontists in the U.S. Dr. Rapoport completed his dental degree in South Africa and pursued specialized training in periodontics and dental implant treatment at the University of Washington, earning his Master of Science in Dentistry degree in 1999.
The clinic offers a comprehensive range of services, with a strong focus on
dental implants, including single tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and the innovative All-on-4® technique for full-arch tooth replacement. They are particularly recognized for their "same-day implants" and ability to handle complex cases that may not be feasible in other offices. Beyond implants, Pacific Northwest Periodontics provides extensive periodontal treatments for gum disease, such as scaling and root planing, perioscope therapy,
Gum Grafting, and bone grafting.
Pacific Northwest Periodontics prides itself on its state-of-the-art facility, which includes advanced diagnostic tools like 3D CT scanners and an in-house lab. This integrated approach allows for precise treatment planning, custom restoration fabrication, and often enables same-day procedures, reducing the need for multiple visits and external referrals. The clinic emphasizes patient comfort, offering various sedation options (IV and oral) and a friendly, attentive staff dedicated to explaining procedures thoroughly and addressing patient concerns. Dr. Rapoport is well-regarded as a local dental expert, frequently appearing on local media and recognized as a "Top Dentist" by Seattle Metropolitan Magazine for several consecutive years. He is also an author of technical papers and lectures on implant procedures to dental professionals nationally and internationally.
