What is a Periodontist?
When you are looking for advanced treatments for the hard and soft tissues of your mouth, choosing a periodontist will ensure you get the best results. Considered the experts in the bone, teeth and gums of the mouth, doctors must receive additional years of formal education and training to become a periodontist. Dr. Alfred Lopez has been in periodontal practice in the Albuquerque, NM area for over three decades, offering cutting-edge care to thousands of patients. Dr. Lopez believes that the education and studies of a periodontist are never over and thus participates in over 50 hours of continuing education each year. This education allows us to manage even complex dental cases and provide you with the results you deserve to last a lifetime. Some of Dr. Lopez’s additional training and organizational involvements include:
- 1-year rotating surgical internship
- 2-year periodontal residency program
- Program Director for Periodontal Training
- Associate professor in Graduate Periodontics
- President of the Albuquerque District Dental Society
- Treasurer of the New Mexico Dental Association
