Selecting the right periodontist in Ft. Lauderdale or Deerfield Beach to work on your smile is an important decision. You’ll want to choose someone who you feel comfortable with and feel is experienced practicing the procedures that you’ll need performed. The staff that supports the periodontist is also important as you will have a relationship with them as well.
The recommendation from your dentist is a good first start. Or perhaps you’ve had a friend or family member who’s undergone some periodontal procedures (like getting laser gum therapy or dental implant).
Locally, one of the leading periodontists is Dr. Nick DeTure. You may have been referred or you may have come across his office while searching online.
Dr. DeTure was born in Gainesville, Florida and graduated from Winter Park High School as a Florida Academic Scholar. He received his Bachelor of Science in Biology from Tulane University and Doctor of Dental Medicine University of Florida College of Dentistry.
Dr. DeTure’s training was in Evidence Based Periodontics, including regenerative, pocket reduction, antimicrobial, and implant therapy. Special emphasis was placed on root coverage procedures, esthetic periodontal plastic surgery, bone regeneration, implant and laser therapy.
When not working, Dr. DeTure enjoys spending time with his family and friends. His hobbies are traveling, exercise, skiing, fishing and football.
