Periodontists are one of nine specialties supported by the American Dental Association. Each periodontist is required to complete 36 months of training. During this time, some institutions offer a degree in Master of Science in Dentistry, which requires additional research. Dr. Camenisch completed her masters thesis on examining a potential marker (phospholipase A2-IIA) which could differentiate between patients with good oral health, gingivitis, or periodontitis.
We pride ourselves on being a digital practice. We use digital radiographs and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to create the best treatment plans for our patients. A CBCT allows for a three-dimensional representation of the jaw, which enables Dr. Camenisch to assess the bone quantity to see if a tooth would be suitable for treatment or if an implant could be placed. The newer X-ray option offered at Kentucky Periodontics and Implant Dentistry allows us to provide more comfort in taking X-rays, and it lets us take them at a quicker pace!
We pride ourselves on working well with others to offer you the very best treatment. Whether you are walking into our clinic seeking care for the first time in years or have a referral from another dentist, we want to provide you with the best care possible. We work cohesively with outstanding general dentists and specialists, including endodontists, prosthodontists, and oral surgeons. We will continue to function as a team to achieve the best possible results for our patients.

I was concerned with the dental issues I was experiencing when I was referred to Ky. Periodontics. Dr. Camenisch has taken great care to explain what is happening with me and what we can do to fix it. She treats me as a person and not an appointment, and she's taken wonderful care of my problem and continues to give me excellent care. I'm thankful every visit she's my specialist.

Dr. Camenisch has provided what's probably my best experience in a visit to the dentist. She was gentle, knowledgeable, and clearly explained to me the procedure I needed. The office staff is also very professional and helpful and the office itself is truly sophisticate and pleasant (I like the soft-tone music). I absolutely recommend it

First time I walked into this place, I was like, WOW! This place smells so nice. But the true moment of joy I received was when I was greeted by their lovely staff! You know what they say, if you get greeted at a dentist office that smells good, you're probably going to have a wonderful experience. At least I did anyway! So why don't you make your way down to Kentucky Periodontics and Implant Dentistry and receive a friendly, "Hi welcome, how are you!" And you'll feel right at home, that is if your home has a dental office in it. Tell 'em Ben Plowman sent yah and receive a smile and good care!
