My husband is a prosthodontist(another type of dental specialist). I needed to have a tissue graft on my gums due to recession. I also needed a frenectomy(where the Dr. removes that tiny piece of tissue connecting your lip to your gums(pull your lip away from your mouth and you will see it). I consider myself a very nervous patient at the dentist office, if I need anything other than a cleaning. My husband referred me to Dr. Bertino and told me she was a very highly skilled periodontist and would make me feel at ease. I highly agree! She has a very calm an peaceful demeanor, and explained everything. The surgery was successful and my husband was very pleased with the results, and he is a perfectionist. If you need to see a periodontist, I highly recommend Dr. Bertino. She is especially good with nervous patients.

I went to Dr Bertino for gum surgery and bone graft. I was really scared! I found Dr. Bertino and her staff to be very friendly and welcoming. She took her time explaining everything to me, as well as answered all of my questions. I never felt rushed! The surgery was much easier than I expected and I didn’t experience pain during the procedure, healed quickly afterwards as well. I highly recommend Dr. Bertino!

I used to be very scared to go to the dentist, any type of dentist. Of course this meant that I didn’t go in when I should have and eventually found myself in real trouble with my teeth, needing two bone graphs. I was lucky to be referred to Dr. Bertino. She is so conscientious about pain and all the associated things that make pain like swelling. I was able to go through two surgeries without pain and without the need to take opioid pain killers afterward! Since my case was complicated, I stayed with her for a long time for cleanings and got over my fears! I now am a completely different person at the dentist. If you need her specialty, I would highly recommend her.
