The word "periodontal" means "around the tooth." Periodontal disease (also known as "gum disease, " "pyorrhea" or "periodontal infection") is an ongoing bacterial infection in the gums and bone around your teeth. This infection leads to an inflammation under the gums and if not treated, can destroy the bone around your teeth.

Dr. Gross is professional and a perfectionist. His attention to detail is amazing. He truly cares about his patients. I am having extensive dental work done. The pain has been minimal when I expected much more. I wouldn't use any other periodontist. I've been coming to this office for over 30 years. Highly recommend Howard Gross!

The doctor is very professional and polite. However, the lady named Elsa, is very unprofessional and disrespectful. So, for that reason. I will not proceed with the treatment.

Dr. Gross is one of the finest and most compassionate practitioners I have ever met. His knowledge and skills are exceptional. From scheduling an appointment to the final visit he guides you along with great care. Not too many like this anymore!

I've been seeing Dr. Gross and his techs for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier with my experiences from every perspective. He's knowledgeable, takes time to explain everything clearly, and exudes wonderful professionalism and knowledge. I highly recommend him. And, I want to add that the office staff are wonderful also.

Dr. Gross is a compassionate and extremely knowledgeable periodontist. He's done extensive work on me and helped save my teeth, as well as putting in implants. He takes time to explain what he will do. He's even called me at home to check on me after procedures. His front desk and dental techs are a wonderful group, always cheerful and ready to help as well. I highly recommend his practice.

Dr. Gross is a personable periodontist who does excellent work. Tooth replacement isn't fun, but Dr. Gross and his staff make the process comfortable and such that it won't need to be redone in the future.

I would not recommend Dr. Gross for anyone who has fears of dental work. My anxiety regarding any dental work has gone through the roof from being a patient of his. I felt like I was belittled and talked-down to throughout the time I saw him and never got full instructions or concrete steps that were needed to remedy the problem I was seeing him for. I will not return, nor recommend this practice.

I cannot more highly recommend the practice of North Penn Periodontal Associates which is owned, administered, and implemented by Dr. Howard Gross and his staff of professionals. He and his group have treated me both surgically as well as preventively for the past 15 years, on a continuing basis. They have certainly been responsible for the retention of several portions of my teeth during this period of time, and in a most cost effective way.

I became a patient at North Penn Periodontal Associates (Lansdale, PA) about 5 years ago, when my old implant, which had replaced a broken front tooth failed. Before I went to NPPA I consulted 2 implant specialists who told me that the implant could not be replaced: the bone had deteriorated and there was nothing to anchor a new implant. My only. option, I was told, was a dental bridge, either removable or permanently attached.

Neither would give me the natural appearance or stability I wanted. Then I met with NPPA. I was carefully evaluated and was given another option that was a better choice for me. This option would be a long process that was not guaranteed (because of the bone.

There aren't many dentists I think highly of. I had too many bad experiences as a child and that was how at my young age, I needed a periodontist. Now the reason I hated going to the dentist was the fact they made you feel worse about yourself. Dr. Howard Gross never did that. There was no judgment. He pretty much laid out the game plan and. after 3 years of surgeries and braces, you don't know how much I appreciate his hard work.

I can smile without feeling self-conscious and NO bleeding! I will tell you that he cares about your mouth and makes the best effort. How many dentist will get up at 2 in the morning to help you? I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Gross. If I can, I recommend him to my friends. If you need a caring periodontist who will give you what need, and not all those unnecessary extras, Dr. Gross is the person to see.
