Periodontist Costs in Boston, Massachusetts (2026)

Approximate price ranges — may vary by provider and insurance plan

ProcedureTypical Cost
Periodontal consultation + charting$0 – $200
Scaling and root planing (per quadrant)$150 – $450
Full-mouth debridement$150 – $400
Periodontal maintenance cleaning$150 – $300
Gum graft (connective tissue, per site)$828 – $4,140
Crown lengthening (per tooth)$1,000 – $3,000
Osseous surgery (per quadrant)$1,000 – $3,000
Laser periodontal therapy (LANAP, per quadrant)$1,000 – $2,500
Bone grafting (per site)$345 – $4,140
Antibiotic placement (per site, Arestin)$35 – $75

Prices sourced from myspecialtydentist.com's periodontal-treatment-cost guide (periodontal maintenance cleaning, osseous/flap surgery per quadrant, Arestin antibiotic placement), its dedicated LANAP guide ($1,000-$2,500 per quadrant), and its gum-surgery-cost guide (crown lengthening, quoted as a $1,000-$3,000 total range rather than broken out strictly per tooth); plus truedentalcosts.com's Boston, MA-specific estimator pages for gum graft surgery ($828-$4,140) and dental bone graft ($345-$4,140). Scaling and root planing (per quadrant) uses the national authoritydental.org range ($150-$450/quadrant), which is consistent with truedentalcosts.com's Boston-specific full scaling & root planing figure of $276-$1,104 across up to four quadrants. Two items -- periodontal consultation + charting, and full-mouth debridement -- had no verifiable published figure found in this session, so they are honest estimates, flagged rather than invented. Ranges reflect Boston, Massachusetts pricing as of 2026 in USD; Boston fees likely run at or above the upper end of national ranges given the region's cost of living. Dental insurance often covers a portion of non-surgical periodontal treatment; surgical procedures may have separate annual maximums. Always obtain multiple quotes from local providers.

More about periodontics at this clinic

Boston Periodontics & Dental Implants, led by Dr. Marc L. The practice focuses exclusively on two interconnected disciplines: periodontics and dental implant placement. Periodontal care addresses the health of the gums and the bone structures that support teeth. Conditions such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum recession require precise, targeted treatment to preserve the natural dentition and prevent tooth loss over time. Left unmanaged, periodontal disease can progress and affect the stability of otherwise healthy teeth. Use this page to view office hours and contact the practice directly to schedule a periodontal or implant evaluation.

How to Choose a Dentist in Boston

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
