Dr Vlassis is an exceptional periodontist and a very compassionate and kind person as well . He thoroughly explains his treatment before and during the surgery. Dr Vlassis understands that many patients suffer from anxiety and he and his entire staff from the front desk to the treatment room staff go the extra mile to keep their patients as calm and comfortable as possible.

Once again, Dr. James Vlassis and his staff have gone to extraordinary lengths to care for me in a professional and caring manner. I called at 9 on Monday morning with a tooth that fell out while I was home sick and became painful over the weekend. They got me in at 10 am, told me the remaining part of the tooth was badly infected, gave me options and performed the implant procedure I needed right away. I went home before noon and I was so relieved! By the next day I was feeling quite comfortable again. Dr. Vlassis is the best periodontist!

Our Featured Dental Treatments
Dental Implants
If you have missing teeth, we recommend dental implants because they're the only solution that can prevent the jawbone atrophy that comes with tooth loss, and they can be paired with a restoration to replace teeth from root to crown. With proper care, your implants can also last the rest of your life.
Dr. Vlassis can place dental implants and improve your candidacy for implants if you don't currently qualify for them. He can perform preparatory treatments like extractions, sinus augmentation, and gum and bone grafting to create a healthy foundation for your implants.
Periodontal Care
As gum disease progresses, it can spread throughout your mouth and even affect your jawbone. The result is loose teeth and tooth loss. Gum disease also has overall health risks, like an increased risk of heart disease, respiratory disease, and cancer.
Gum disease can be reversed in its earliest stages, but it eventually requires periodontist intervention. Dr. Vlassis offers scaling and root planing, gum grafting, and pocket reduction surgery to preserve the teeth of his Fayetteville and Syracuse patients.
Sedation Dentistry
If you're feeling anxious about an upcoming procedure, you could benefit from sedation dentistry. Dr. Vlassis is trained to safely administer both oral conscious sedation and nitrous oxide. Oral conscious sedation is a pill you take before your procedure to keep you feeling calm, drowsy, and relaxed. Nitrous oxide is a gas administered through a nose mask that induces an elated feeling until the mask is removed and the gas wears off.
If you prefer general anesthesia, it is available at an off-site facility to ensure your health and safety.
A Periodontist Handling Complex Cases
If you've been told by another dentist that you don't qualify for dental implants or your case is too complex, we invite you to call our Fayetteville team. Because we have a focus on periodontics, we're well-equipped to handle even the most severe cases.
- About 80% of our patients are dental implant cases, and a large number of them were referred to us by their dentists.
- Dr. Vlassis can handle every step of your treatment plan, from preparatory procedures through the placement of your implants.
- Our practice features the latest technology in the field so procedures are comfortable and precise, and we deliver the results you desire the first time.

I'm having a dental emergency. Can you help?
Call us, and we'll try to fit you in for an appointment as soon as possible. We handle emergency cases like tooth pain, abscesses, dental damage from a car or skiing accident, and more. We'll do everything we can to offer you a swift and lasting solution.
Why should I choose a periodontist over a general dentist?
While your general dentist is a great choice for routine cleanings, exams, and fillings, they may not have the training and experience needed to perform oral surgery like implant placement and periodontal treatment. If you're a complex case or your general dentist doesn't perform periodontics, you can rely on the specialized training of Dr. Vlassis, our board-certified periodontist.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for implants?
Meet with Dr. Vlassis for a consultation. Our team will take scans of your teeth and jawbone to determine if you qualify for treatment or what it would take to get you to qualify. We can develop a customized treatment plan to rebuild the foundation of your mouth and create a beautiful and functional smile.
