A periodontist for Snohomish and Lake Stevens, a short drive up the road.

If you live in Snohomish or Lake Stevens and your dentist has mentioned gum disease, receding gums, or a missing tooth, you don't have to go far for specialist care. Dr. Ben Choi and our team serve Snohomish and Lake Stevens from our office at 1533 Grove St in Marysville, a short drive up the road.

We focus on one thing: keeping your gums healthy and your smile strong. Whether you need a deep cleaning, a gum graft, or a dental implant, we'll explain your options in plain language and work closely with your regular dentist.

Care We Offer Snohomish & Lake Stevens Patients

Gum disease treatment. Bleeding, puffy, or tender gums can be early signs of gum disease. Left alone, it can lead to loose teeth and tooth loss. Dr. Choi is LANAP® certified, a gentle laser treatment for gum disease, and also offers deep cleanings and other treatments based on what you need. See our periodontal care.
Gum grafts for receding gums. When gums pull back, teeth can look longer and feel sensitive to cold. A gum graft rebuilds the gumline to cover exposed roots and protect your teeth. Learn about gum grafts.
Dental implants. An implant is a strong, natural-feeling replacement for a missing tooth. We start with 3D imaging and careful planning, then coordinate with your dentist for the final crown. If your bone or gums need a little help first, we can take care of that here too. Explore dental implants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have an office in Snohomish or Lake Stevens?

No. Our office is at 1533 Grove St in Marysville. We serve patients from Snohomish, Lake Stevens, and nearby communities there.

Do I need a referral from my dentist?

Not always. Many patients come through their dentist, but you're welcome to call us directly at 360-386-5055 to ask about a consultation.

What does a periodontist do that my regular dentist doesn't?

A periodontist has extra years of training focused on gums, the bone that supports your teeth, and dental implants. Your dentist may refer you when gum problems need specialist care or when you're considering an implant.

Will treatment hurt?

We do everything we can to keep you comfortable, including local numbing and sedation options for some procedures. Some soreness afterward is normal, and we'll explain what to expect before you start.
