"Dr. Billinger is the consummate professional. From Dorothy who helped make my appointment to his procedural assistant Sara, it is clear Dr. Billinger and his practice prioritizes patient care. I had some gum overgrowth on my upper teeth due to braces, and I came across his work on TikTok and was extremely impressed. Through a virtual consultation, I was recommended a frenectomy and gingivectomy on my upper teeth, and I couldn’t have chosen a better practice for this procedure! He is very attentive, thorough and informative throughout each step, and ensured this procedure would be as painless as possible. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Billinger & Practical Periodontics to anyone in need of any service to their gumline! A truly outstanding service"
