I highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for a Periodontist/ dentist. First, his staff is very friendly and welcoming. They accommodated me and made sure I was completely comfortable. It was extremely refreshing to deal with such kind people in a dentist office because most people fear the dentist.
Dr Gayton was extremly professional and very respectful. I booked an early 7:00 am appointment and he seemed refreshed and wide awake in comparison to me lagging. He made sure he spent quality time with me and explained everything with proper jargon for me to understand. His office was clean and polished. I had a great experience here and I would highly recommoend Dr. Gayton

Dr. Gayton is a pleasant and knowledgable individual with his patients' best interests in mind! I had a procedure done and he made sure it was as painless as possible and that I knew everything about post-op care of my gums. His staff are some of the most lovely and friendly people I have ever met. They called me after the procedure just to see how I was feeling and to make sure I was taking care of my mouth correctly. They are so considerate! I will certainly come to them in the future for my periodontal needs.

More about Dr. Craig Gayton, DDS
I truly enjoy my work as periodontist; and most of all, I love working with my patients, encouraging them to take an active role in their dental treatment, and helping them improve their overall oral health. As a Periodontist, I understand that many of my patients may come to me feeling apprehensive about their treatment. It is my goal to make my patients feel comfortable, while keeping them well informed about their periodontal health, and answering any questions that they may have along the way.

I really appreciate the excellent care I receive from Tamara. She explains everything that happens during my treatment. Also, Tamara gives me helpful tips on my preventative maintence and explains what is happening to my gums and how the maintence will help me.
More than 1 year agoPP
It was very relaxing, very thorough. It was explained in terms I could understand. All my questions were answered. Since this procedure was for my 17 yr old son, he was put at ease as to what to expect. The dr. cared about him as a person and not just a patient.
More than 1 year agoWS
I needed to find an excellent periodontal surgery because of my severe issues. I found that this surgery promises thorough examinations, advice and care of my periodontal disease. My visits are always an informative experience in an efficient, professional and friendly environment. Tamara is an excellent hygenist, with good advice always Dr. Grayton is also an excellent and thorough periodontist.
