Patrick L Johnson, DDS and Preston S Alfred, DDS, MS provide specialized periodontal and dental implant care for patients throughout Greenville and surrounding communities. The practice focuses exclusively on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, along with the placement of dental implants and advanced surgical procedures. It holds a rating of 4.80 based on 13 reviews.

Drs. Johnson and Alfred treat all stages of gum disease and place dental implants, from single teeth to multiple missing teeth, using advanced imaging and surgical techniques for precise placement and personalized treatment planning. Their approach to periodontal surgery is conservative: they limit surgery to areas where it is absolutely necessary, and in many cases treat early periodontal disease with non-surgical therapy first. Even in severe cases, non-surgical therapy often precedes surgery to improve tissue quality and reduce the areas requiring surgery. Services include scaling and root planing, professional teeth cleaning, periodontal maintenance, crown lengthening, and bruxism treatment. Bruxism care includes mouthguards, the NTI-tss device, and Botox injections, and the office offers a BiteStrip device for diagnosing bruxism at home. After active treatment, patients receive a personalized maintenance program, with visits scheduled as often as every few weeks or as infrequently as every six months depending on the severity of the disease.

The office is located at 1919 Turnbury Drive, a short distance from East Arlington Boulevard and East Firetower Road, with South Charles Boulevard about four-tenths of a mile away. Fork Swamp and Meeting House Branch are nearby.

The practice has built a solid reputation among the customers it has served.
