At Rocky Mountain Periodontal Specialists in Colorado Springs, we provide complete, compassionate care for patients seeking to restore their oral health. Periodontal problems often impact more than just your gumsinfections may damage your teeth, too. Plaque-causing bacteria can enter your blood stream and affect your heart, brain, joints, and lungs. In fact, continuing scientific research shows disturbing links between poor oral health and systemic illnesses such as coronary artery disease, strokes, and diabetes.
Dr. Geoff B. Haradon and Dr. Karl P. Lackler are some of the most experienced periodontists in the Colorado Springs area. They are proud to have achieved the Top Dentists annual list, and they have more than 36 years of education, service, and experience between them. Like all of our staff, our periodontists strive to provide excellence in oral health and patient care.
At our periodontal office, we offer a number of amenities to help patients soothe their nerves before their periodontal treatments. While waiting, youll have a wonderful view of Pikes Peak, and youll be able to sit back in our comfortable waiting room until we call you back for your treatment. Youll also find that weve implemented the latest technologies in our routine treatments, allowing us to complete your visits in less time with the best results possible.
Dental implants completely transform what it means to get teeth replaced. Your new smile will be as strong as the old one, and issues such as bone loss will no longer be a problem. Such a life-changing procedure should only be left to a compassionate, experienced periodontist that truly knows what theyre doing. Our periodontists all have extensive experience in placing implants, and they are used to working on a wide variety of complex cases.
Maybe you simply need a non-surgical solution for gum disease, like scaling and root planing. Or maybe youll need to undergo multiple treatments, like bone grafting and implant placement. Every situation is unique, but our standards for high quality care will always stay the same. We want you to be able to smile at the results of your treatment for years to come, and well do everything we can to steer you in the right direction so that you know what treatments are truly necessary for healthy gums and a fully intact grin.
To become a periodontist, one must complete four tears of dental school as well as three more years of specialty training. Our two periodontal experts at Rocky Mountain Periodontal Specialties have not only met those requirements, but theyve also gone above and beyond expanding their skills through continuing education so that they can keep offering patients the best of modern periodontal care.

After completing his undergraduate education at the University of Denver, Dr. Haradon achieved his dental degree at the University of North Carolina. He then underwent a three-year residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, which is one of the most highly rated residency programs in the country. There, he obtained state-of-the-art training in the most up-to-date periodontal and dental implant techniques. Today, he is a Diplomate in the American Board of Periodontics.
When he isnt busy caring for smiles, Dr. Haradon enjoys spending quality time with his two grown children (Tyler and Madison), snowboarding, scuba diving, and playing tennis. Continuing education is also a big priority for him!

After Dr. Haradon completed my gum surgery under local anesthesia, I said, "Piece of cake!". I had some discomfort while receiving injections but essentially no pain. Within an hour, surgery was complete, and I drove myself home. Amazing staff, and Dr. Haradon was so kind, frequently asking if I was okay. I stayed calm, listened to music of my choice, and now my teeth won't fall out! To those worried about having gum replacement surgery, I say, "Don't be afraid, stay calm...you are in the hands of an experienced doctor!"

These people are the best. From the front desk to appointments to assistants and the Dr's. First class service all the way around. It's a drive for me but I would not go anywhere else. They saved 2 of my teeth that would have had to come out.

Every interaction I had with staff of all levels was very positive. Starting with the desk staff and going all the way up the chain to Dr. Haradon and his PA, one feels welcomed and in professional hands. All procedures went smoothly and great attention was paid to patient comfort levels and needs. I highly recommend this practice to anyone seeking excellent periodontal care.
