What To Expect At Your Appointment
While many things have changed, one thing has remained the same: our commitment to your safety. We are doing our very best to provide you with the same high level of care and attention to detail that you have become accustomed to receiving at each 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.
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.

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.
