Rosa and Dr. Kaminsky did a fantastic job for me. I had a gum graph on my four upper teeth and it looks absolutely fantastic!
I had the pleasure of being treated by Dr. Yassin after struggling with implant issues that other doctors couldn't resolve. From the moment I walked in, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Yassin exuded confidence and professionalism, which immediately put me in a relaxed state.
Throughout the procedure, he explained everything in detail, making sure I understood what was going on and that I felt comfortable. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly assessed my situation, offering clear explanations and options. The procedure was smooth, and the results exceeded my expectations. What truly stands out is Dr. Yassin's ability to handle complex cases with precision — something I couldn't find with previous practitioners.
I am so grateful for his care and professionalism. If you're looking for a doctor who can tackle challenging implant cases with confidence and skill, Dr. Yassin is the one to trust.

Dan, Megan, Kimberly and Dr. Weinstein have all been super lovely throughout my time visiting both the Seattle and Bellevue offices. Would recommend to anyone with dental anxiety as they’ve been really comforting and kind!
Dr. Weinstein performed gum grafting surgery with great results! I was given plenty of options of medication choices and whether to do all teeth at once or in stages. Surgery went great and everything looks good for long term success. Advanced Perio was the place recommended by my general dentist and I’m happy I went with their recommendation.
This morning, I had my postop appointment, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the amazing care I received from the team. The young assistant, Tyra, was truly fantastic, making me feel at ease throughout the process. From the friendly front desk staff to Dr. Richins and his assistant, Dan, everyone displayed such kindness and professionalism. I honestly wish I could give them ten stars because words can’t fully capture how appreciative I am of this office and the support they provided. Thank you all for making a difference in my healing journey!
While getting a gum graft was not initially in my 2024 plans, Advanced Perio made the process as smooth as can be. After an unsettling consultation with a different periodontist, Advanced Perio took the time to answer my questions and help me gain confidence in the procedure and recovery process.
I was worried about insurance coverage, but I'm grateful they prioritize delivering the best care over adhering to insurance stipulations. Ultimately, my procedure ended up costing roughly the same as a different in-network periodontist quoted me, and I am confident that I received a much higher level of care.
I am now officially 8 weeks post-graft and I am so happy I chose to tackle this now and through Advanced Perio. Everything went as expected and I could not recommend Dr. Weinstein and his assistants (Megan, Kira, Silas) enough.
As a cherry on top, they went above and beyond in referring me to a dentist in my neighborhood that was previously hard to get on the schedule for. While I hope I never need another gum graft, if you find yourself in that position, do not hesitate and reach out to Advanced Perio!

I recommend Advanced Dental. I am a dental hygienist and I first heard about the office from a continuing education course taught by Dr Weistein.
I was treated by Dr Kaminsky. She explained everything to me thoroughly and always made sure to answer any of my questions. I am very happy with the tissue graft she did.
The assistants I had were Silas, Kira, and Jessica (I believe). They were all amazing and highly skilled. Silas put me at ease and has a great bed-side manner. Kira made sure to give me a run down of what we were doing that day and made sure to clarify everything.
I received reminder texts for the appointments that were helpful but it would have been also helpful to get the address again and a reminder on what parking garages to use in the text as well.
I got great care here and recommend this office.

Had gum grafts done for 5 teeth and it went super well! I was really nervous beforehand but Dr Weinstein and Megan (assistant) made me feel very comfortable and did a great job on the procedure. The grafts healed within 2 weeks and look great. Would definitely recommend for anyone with dental anxiety or worried about gum recession.
My experience at advanced perio was phenomenal! From the hygiene coordinator Gina, to the welcoming front desk Anj, Katrina, and Judah, to the amazing and thorough clinic staff Dr. kaminsky and hygienist Katie. If I could give 10 stars I would! Hands down the best dental office.
I was recently seen by Dr. Nguyen at Advanced Perio for removal of a failing dental implant. He and the AP staff were absolutely first-rate. Friendly, caring and highly skilled professionals, and amazingly adept at their work. What could have been a traumatic, painful ordeal turned out to be quite a smooth procedure. And recovery has been a breeze. Highly recommended!
I had a gum graft at Advanced Perio this summer. Dr. Kaminsky and Kira made me feel so comfortable during the procedure and at my follow ups. You can't even see the graft now that it has healed. Super knowledgeable team who doesn't try to upsell you - I had a great experience.
I recently had a gum graft procedure done, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Weinstein and the entire team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my comfort throughout the process. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, they provided clear guidance and support every step of the way. Huge thanks to the whole team ( Reem, Jessica & Silas) for their exceptional work and dedication to patient care. Highly recommended for anyone needing periodontal treatment.
Last Spring had a gum graft procedure at Advanced Periodontics, and I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. Dr. Kaminsky and her well-honed team are phenomenal.
What truly set this experience apart was Dr. Kaminsky's commitment to find the best solution for my particular case. Instead of immediately opting for the typical surgical approach, she proactively investigated whether an alternative strategy would be possible that could improve my outcome and recovery experience. This led her to find that it would be possible to take the tissue for the graft from an area near where I previously had wisdom teeth, rather than the roof of my mouth, as usually required. The result was a remarkably smooth and fast recovery with essentially no pain.
Throughout the process, I felt well-informed and engaged. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I got an implant from Dr. Weinstein on my front tooth recently and I cannot recommend him enough! He did such a good job and he, and his team of Chey and Jessica, were so knowledgable and patient as I had a million questions at every step of the process!
Dr. Boyapati is the best. Immediately upon meeting her I knew I was in great hands -- she's kind, communicates clearly, and took her time during our appointments. Her assistant Chey helped me feel comfortable for the procedure and explained everything I needed to know for post-op. Overall, everything was quick and easy -- highly recommend Dr. Boyapati and Advanced Perio!
I recently had an appointment with Dr. Nguyen and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, both Dr. Nguyen and his team (Reem and Lisa) they made me feel comfortable and at ease. They were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to my needs.
Dr. Nguyen took the time to explain every step of the procedure, and made what is typically a stressful experience smooth and painless.
🙌♥️ thank you

My dentist, Dr. Sekijima, referred me to Dr. Boyapati for tooth resorption. (She told me how great Dr. Boyapati is and I trust anything Dr. Sekijima tells me because she’s an amazing dentist.) Dr. Boyapati and staff exceeded expectations! I had an extraction & socket graft, as well as a gum graft and everything went so smoothly! She’s a great doctor, so reassuring, and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.
I had a great experience getting my gum graft! Reem was the best, explaining everything thoroughly so I knew what was happening. She totally calmed my nerves. Thank you all!
As a rule, I wouldn't call 'having a tooth extracted' a great experience. But, Dr. Boyapati and the entire staff—including her surgical assistant Jessica—really made it into one.
Their offices are easily accessible downtown with lots of parking. Everyone is friendly, kind, professional, understanding, and very aware of the fact that this kind of procedure is SCARY. To that end, I am very delighted that they offer a menu of different sedation options, ranging from nitrous oxide all the way up to full sedation with an anesthesiologist.
Personally, I opted for oral sedation, which requires you to have someone drive you to and from the appointment, but otherwise was easy as can be. I was completely numb and totally blissed out the entire time, and never experienced any real pain from the procedure.
I hope I never have to have another tooth extracted, but if I do, I will definitely go back to Advanced Perio.

First class patient care all the way. Highly recommend for both the quality of care and the overall experience. The procedure was flawless and support from Jessica through the entire process was impeccable.
The entire team is always very friendly, the doctor is very knowledgeable and they were able to help me out and improve my gum health greatly.
Very happy with my experience at Avanced Perio!
Dr Weinstein is simply the best! Dan, his assistant was very kind also! Could not have been more pleased with my care and outcome !

Dr. Kaminsky and Michelle are amazing!! All of the staff are knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and professional. I’ve been seeing them for almost a year and I’ve only had good experiences.
Their instructions, guidance, and expertise made unpleasant procedures more enjoyable.
I also value their accounting/billing department’s transparency and explanation for the cost of procedures. Like Dr. Kaminsky and Michelle, they were with me every step of the way.

I was referred here by my regular dentist for periodontal disease and have not only received excellent care at every visit, my gums are now so improved I no longer need to go here!
Dr. Kaminsky was kind, professional and answered all my questions. Most importantly, she got the results I needed. Crystal was also excellent, both knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend Advanced Periodontics.

Great experience from the front office all the way to the doctors!
I am an anxious patient with white coat syndrome so I especially appreciated Crystal's caring bedside manner. She gently and accurately communicated each and every step. She made sure I understood and was ok with each step and then checked up on me after to make sure I was still comfortable.
Unfortunately, this is not my mouth's first extract/implant encounter- fortunately, I can honestly say this has been BY FAR the best.

I have had a few cleanings here and every hygienist exceeds and goes beyond any expectation. Most recently I saw Lisa for my cleaning and she was very professional and made me feel comfortable. The dental assistant Rosa took some X-rays which I’m usually not a fan of but she made it go so smoothly! Definitely will keep coming here due to the high level of exceptional care they provide! 10/10
Excellent care, my regular dentist recommended Dr. Weinstein & they were right.
This periodontal office is professional, kind, knowledgeable and honest. I’ve been helped by them over the last twenty years. I came in for another gum grafting consultation today and Dr. Richens said I didn’t need anything done. The staff was efficient and friendly, too. Highly recommend.
This is my third implant and once again Dr. Richins and his staff are the best. Highly recommended.
Caring professional staff — Dr. Weinstein listened, offered full explanations as well as surgical options. Trusted in team and great outcome!
All the staff are very kind and accommodating - almost too much so, but I understand some people have extreme anxiety about dental work.
They prepared me well for what to expect, the procedure was quick, successful and I felt well-cared for.

Had to go in last summer for microsurgery to treat an infection and we just finished our post procedure follow up. Staff was very friendly and helpful, Dr. Kaminsky did an amazing job getting me back in good shape.
Loved how clean and professional the place looked. Very happy with my experience there.

Completely PAINLESS! I am truly amazed at this clinic's ability to perform aggressive dental surgeries without there being any pain. Over the years I have had a root canal, an implant, and two major extractions in this clinic and every time is shockingly pain free. I cannot recommend this place enough.
The whole team over at advanced Perio is fantastic. The medical staff was so kind and professional in a very stressful dental situation. The front desk team is helpful with all my various questions and everyone makes the experience so easy! Highly recommend.
