Frequently asked questions
How many periodontists are listed in Brockton?
The NPI registry lists 4 providers in Brockton, Massachusetts whose primary taxonomy is periodontics: 2 individual practitioners and 2 practices or organizations, at addresses in 1 ZIP code. The earliest NPI enumeration among them is from 2006.
Do I need a referral to see a periodontist?
It depends on your plan. Many dental specialists see patients without a referral, but some dental HMO (DHMO) and Medicaid plans require one from your general dentist before they will pay. Check your plan documents or call the number on your insurance card before booking.
Do these periodontists take my dental insurance?
The NPI registry does not record which insurance plans a provider accepts, so we do not show it. Use your insurer's online provider directory and confirm with the office by phone, since networks change.
How is a periodontist different from a general dentist?
A periodontist is a dentist who completed an accredited advanced education program in the specialty after dental school. Periodontists treat the gums and the bone that supports the teeth. Their work includes managing gum disease, deep cleanings, gum grafts and, in many practices, placing dental implants.
Where does this information come from?
Names, addresses, phone numbers and specialties come from the public NPPES NPI registry run by CMS. We do not add ratings, prices or opening hours. If a listing is wrong, the provider can update it in NPPES.
