I’m convinced that I have a lot of teeth left, at 82, that I would have lost without the good care and careful work of the staff at AIP. I was taught what I should have learned decades earlier from another periodontist, and I have benefited over the last 12 years from the skill, patience, and friendly service at AIP.
