What To Expect At Your Appointment

We will continue to follow the sterilization and disinfection guidelines provided by the CDC and OSHA.

If you are having any COVID-19 symptoms or have had any recent COVID-19 exposure, please call the office to reschedule your appointment.
Periodontics
Your gums form a protective foundation for your teeth, so it’s important to keep them healthy. Our practice provides gentle gum disease therapy options to meet your unique needs.
Dental Implants
If you are missing teeth, dental implants may provide the solution to closing gaps in your smile. We will work with you to restore your immediate and long-term oral health.
IV Sedation
It is our goal to provide every patient with a positive dental experience. We have provided IV Sedation services for two decades, and are committed to your comfort.
What is a Periodontist?
A periodontist is a dental specialist with advanced training in all issues pertaining to the gums and jaw bone. This includes the treatment of gum disease, gum recession, jaw bone loss, teeth replacement, and gum plastic surgery (aesthetic recontouring) for a happier, healthier smile. As a leader in his field, Dr. Gradwell has pioneered many innovative implant techniques, including immediate-load dental implants, which is the placement of a tooth or teeth on the same day.
In July 2001, Dr. Gradwell was the first dental implant surgeon to provide the renowned Branemark Novum surgery in the Lehigh Valley. At our Lehigh Valley practice, you can expect comprehensive periodontal care using the latest technology, all focused on your comfortable experience. The Allentown dental office of Scott A. Gradwell, D.M.D., is committed to providing periodontal and dental implant services with confidence and kindness in a respectful environment.

We understand that many patients are apprehensive when it comes to periodontal and dental implant treatment. Dr. Gradwell and his team offer a solution. Certified with the State of Pennsylvania and trained at the Montefiore Medical Center, Dr. Gradwell has safely and effectively administered IV sedation for two decades. The calming sedative we use relieves stress and promotes a positive experience. Thousands of patients have overcome their apprehension and received comfortable and safe care with IV sedation.
