I have had the pleasure of using the services of Dr DeSantis as my periodontist for 5+ years. Her expertise, knowledge , bedside manner and professionalism have saved me from losing more teeth that could have occurred without her attention to detail and correct course of action. Dr Desantis is a super periodontist with exceptional skill that should not go unnoticed from those who need periodontal service. You are the best, Dr. Desantis. I can never thank you enough especially when I smile!
The most kind and gentle periodontist that you will ever find. She is very knowledgeable at what she does you won't find anyone better! You won't regret going to her the best around! Her staff is just as good.
I couldn't be happier with Dr. DeSantis. The office is so clean it practically sparkles and every single staff member that I encountered was happy and helpful. Dr. DeSantis is caring, accommodating and knowledgeable. If you're looking for a periodontist, this is definitely they place to go. Hands down.

Dr. DeSantis chose periodontics to help people with dental disease become more motivated to improve their oral health. It is important for her to treat everyone with compassion. She enjoys helping people who are dental phobic become more comfortable with treatment so they can enjoy better dental health. She treats every patient with respect and kindness while focusing on a conservative, often pain-free approach to treatment. Most of all, she hopes to give every patient excellent periodontal care without fear or unnecessary discomfort.
Dr. DeSantis prides herself on providing customized periodontal treatment to her patients. She takes the time to really listen to her patients so that she can understand their expectations. Not only will she guide you through your visit to thoroughly explain the causes of periodontal disease and tooth loss, but she will provide multiple options to try to bring you back to optimal oral health. She often takes a more conservative approach to treatment and she will explain the pros and cons of all possibilities. She takes the time to answer any questions that you may have so that you can be confident in your treatment plan.

Dr. DeSantis is amazing! She's friendly, thoughtful, & thorough (she will explain every step of the procedure & quadruple check herself). The staff, Cathy & Kim, are wonderful and so friendly. The office is updated, very clean, always smells amazing, & welcoming. Cannot recommend her enough.

Great to find a dentist who both listens and answers your questions. She is more concerned about addressing your dental health than just adding to the billing. So glad I found her.

Just had the first part of my road to an inplant. I definitely have dental anxiety but Dr. Disantis is the best! Fun fact a periodontist office can do all of your dental cleanings aside from periodontal work. Sara Disantis is the best, she is so sweet and truly cares about her patients comfort. I saw her years ago for gum surgery and it was a wonderful experience. Her new office is beautiful and she takes care to make it inviting and calm. Huge shout out...dental procedures shouldn't be scary and she does everything in her power to keep you calm, relaxed and comfortable

My name is Lorraine. I had my first appointment with Dr DeSantis yesterday. I had never been to a periodontist in my 80 years. She eased my concerns, explaining my options in detail. I felt like I had known her for years and am very confident that all will go well.
