Dr. Matthew Korn is a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in diagnosing and treating diseases and conditions that affect the foundation of the teeth. This area of specialty includes the complex and sophisticated art and science of reconstructive treatment, using high-tech 3D imaging, regenerative therapy (allowing patients to regenerate their own tissue), and dental implants. Thankfully, the days of unsophisticated, painful bone grafting are over. Dr. Korn is passionate about ending the suffering and loss associated with periodontal disease. In 25 years of clinical practice, he has seen first-hand how periodontitis, the painless and progressive infection of the gum and bone, predictably destroys the foundation of the teeth and results in severe disabilities. Dr. Korn believes that any patient can return to health, no matter how far down the scale theyve slipped, and that this journey can be comfortable both physically and financially.
One of the pillars of success at Aria Periodontics & Implants is the amazing team. Dr. Korn often says that every positive outcome for every patient is made possible by the wonderful contribution of his empowered team. The team is the most important asset of this organization. No expense is spared when it comes to training and preparing. Every dedicated employee of Camellia Periodontics follows Dr. Korns lead in a lifetime commitment to growth and learning.
His career began in 1990 with the belief that he could someday become a master clinician if he dedicated himself to a lifetime of learning, as if dental school never ended. He completed a residency program with a certificate in periodontology and dental implant surgery at the University of Southern California, the first periodontal residency program to include formal training in the microsurgical placement of dental implants. He fondly recalls that early in his career, dental implant placement into the jawbone had outpaced the technology to add a tooth to them. His biggest challenge was to find a dentist who had been trained to place a crown on a dental implant. Its amazing to see how far weve come today!
A vast majority of patients with periodontal problems can be successfully returned to health with very simple, comfortable, and predictable care. This is the most likely outcome when working with the many wonderful restorative dentists in the Sacramento area who diagnose problems at their earliest stages, and refer their patients to Dr. Korn for early intervention.
In an effort to better understand the factors that would create more predictable success, Dr. Korn dedicated himself to behavioral education in addition to his ongoing technical learning. That journey began in 2002 at the LD Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida. He discovered that long-term dental health required connecting with the person attached to the teeth. His practice was transformed as he gained a reputation as the periodontist who was willing to help his patient first become aware of their problem, so that they could eventually partner with him and their dentist in making decisions about treatment.
Hello! Im Dylan Crabtree, Director of Operations at Aria Dental Implants & Perio. Ive began my career in dentistry in 2011 as an RDA. After a few years, I worked my way up a supervisory position with a large group practice. Over this time, I became passionate about dentistry because Ive seen how it changes patients lives for the better.
In 2019, I applied to dental school, and I was simultaneously offered an alternate path to learn the business of dentistry. I continued to grow in my knowledge and appreciation for the business of dentistry.
Much of my work in last four years involved recruiting and developing relationships between specialists and restorative dentists in the Central Valley, Sacramento and Bay Area. I appreciate the energy required of both restorative dentists and periodontists to communicate at a level required to create optimal results for their valued patients. I am passionate about facilitating that interdisciplinary communication, so that both doctors and their teams can perform at their highest levels.
Aligning with referring doctors allowed me to better appreciate the complex nature of interdisciplinary communication. As the Director of Operations, I am excited to get to know you and work with you. I will be visiting your office regularly to check in with you and your team to see what I can do to support you and your office. I am on call to take your questions and provide information and support about patients you send our way.
Away from the office, I love spending time with my wife and daughter. We as a family enjoy traveling, trying new restaurants, spending time together, and playing golf, football. We look forward to the future family trips.
Our team is proud to offer comprehensive and compassionate care to all of our patients. We take pride in providing comprehensive care to establish lifelong dental health rather than a quick fix. Our dental team takes the time to get to know our patients often developing a relationship with them for years. Come experience a transformative dental experience at our Sacramento or Rocklin location.
