The Periodontists - Dentist in Applecross, Western Australia

Clinic Overview

The Periodontists is a specialist periodontal practice in Applecross, originally established in 1999 as Applecross Periodontics and now led by Dr Samy Francis. The practice focuses on expert management of complex gum problems and dental implant needs, offering specialist care in a relaxed, patient-friendly environment. Most patients are referred by other dental professionals for periodontal care, although a referral is not necessary and anyone concerned about the health or appearance of their gums is welcome to book directly. The clinic provides a comprehensive range of periodontal treatments, including surgical and non-surgical gum disease therapy, gum maintenance, and gum grafting procedures such as tooth root coverage and gum recession treatment. For patients undergoing orthodontic work, the team offers pre-orthodontic periodontal assessments, surgical exposure of teeth and frenectomy procedures. Dental implant treatment is another core service, with sinus lifts and bone grafting available to support implant placement, alongside other procedures such as crown lengthening. Patient comfort is a priority, particularly for anxious patients: the practice works with experienced anaesthetists who provide additional anaesthetic services both in-house and at a nearby day surgery in South Perth. The facilities are fully wheelchair accessible, and the practice has been delivering periodontal and implant care for over twenty years.
