Periklis Proussaefs D.D.S, MS (also referred as Dr. Perry for short) is a Prosthodontist (a dentist specialized in cosmetic, dental implant, and prosthetic dentistry). Dr. Proussaefs has been a dentist for 20 years. He obtained his dental degree from the University of Athens in 1992. He earned a specialty certificate in Prosthodontics, a Masters Degree in Prosthodontics, and a certificate in Implant Dentistry from Loma Linda University (LLU), California, in 2000. He has been licensed as a dentist in California since 1998, and he is also licensed and extensively trained to provide dental care under IV sedation. IV sedation is a safe procedure that offers to patients with dental phobias the opportunity to receive comfortable dental care while being sedated. Dr. Proussaefs has received numerous national and international level awards for his research and clinical innovations in dental implants and Prosthodontics, and holds several honorary positions in the dental community:
Dr Proussaefs has been a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), Santa Barbara Dental Society, Academy of Osseointegration (AO), American Academy of Implant Dentistry (AAID), and American Academy of Fixed Prosthodontics (AAFP). In his free time, he enjoys traveling, reading, snorkeling, movies, sports, and spending time with his wife and two kids Arian and Athena.
