River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry

River Valley Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a well-established and long-standing periodontal and dental implant practice that has been providing specialized dental care since 1974. The practice operates as a multi-location clinic with five offices in Connecticut (Madison, Old Saybrook, Waterford, and Norwich) and one in Rhode Island (Westerly). This structure and the presence of a team of doctors, including Dr. Craig Foisie, Dr. Matthew Cantner, Dr. Tatyana Oks, and Dr. Matt Miller, clearly identifies it as a clinic rather than an individual practice. The clinic's primary focus is on periodontal care and implant dentistry. Their team of board-certified periodontists has extensive advanced training and experience in diagnosing and treating all stages of gum disease, from mild cases to severe periodontitis. They offer a comprehensive range of gum disease treatments, including minimally invasive laser surgery using the LANAP protocol, conventional Gum Surgery, and soft tissue and Bone Grafting to rebuild lost tissue. In the field of Dental Implants, the doctors at River Valley are specialists in implant placement, with over 50 years of combined experience. They provide solutions for various situations, from replacing a single missing tooth to full-mouth restoration with implant-supported bridges and dentures. The clinic utilizes state-of-the-art technology, such as 3D cone beam CT scanners, to meticulously plan and execute procedures, ensuring accuracy and comfort for the patient. They are also known for using minimally invasive techniques that promote fast healing. Beyond their core services, the clinic also offers a variety of other treatments, including cosmetic gum procedures to address "gummy smiles" or uneven gum lines, gum recession therapy (including the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique), periodontal maintenance, and treatment for peri-implantitis. Patient comfort is a top priority, with a dedicated staff and doctors known for their friendly chairside manner. They provide comfort amenities and sedation options to help anxious patients feel at ease. The clinic also demonstrates a commitment to the community through its RVP Donation Program, donating a portion of fees from every new patient to a local charity.
