Our Philosophy

Care Beyond Treatment

At our practice, we believe exceptional care begins with understanding and trust. Periodontal and implant dentistry are about more than procedures — they’re about supporting your lifelong oral health.

 

We are committed to:

  • Individualized Care: Every patient is unique. We take time to listen, understand your needs, and create treatment plans that reflect your goals, comfort, and lifestyle.
  • Patient Education: Knowledge builds confidence. Using resources like Spear Education videos and personalized instructions, we empower you to make informed decisions about your care.
  • Evidence-Based Excellence: Our care is grounded in the latest research, technology, and proven clinical techniques.
  • Trust & Collaboration: We work closely with you, your general dentist, and other specialists to ensure comprehensive, seamless treatment.

At the heart of everything we do is a simple mission: to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile for life through prevention, education, and personalized care.

Staying at the Forefront

Dentistry is constantly evolving, and Dr. Belcher is committed to lifelong learning. She regularly attends continuing education courses to stay current with the latest advancements in periodontics, implant dentistry, and patient comfort techniques.

What Sets Us Apart

We’re a privately-owned practice with a close-knit, highly trained staff who genuinely care about our patients. Our team prioritizes:

  • Clinical excellence
  • Clear, compassionate communication
  • Personalized treatment planning
  • A calm, welcoming environment
  • Ongoing staff training and growth

Patients notice the difference — not only in the quality of their results, but in the way they’re cared for throughout their journey.

Comfort at Every Step

We know dental procedures can feel intimidating, so your comfort is always top of mind. We offer multiple sedation options, including conscious sedation, oral sedation, deep sedation, and—when appropriate—general anesthesia administered by a visiting anesthesiologist. Each option is explained thoroughly so you can choose what’s right for you.

Ongoing Support & Follow-Up Care

At Georgetown Periodontics & Implant Dentistry, you’re never just a patient in a chair — you’re a partner in your own health.

 

Our care doesn’t end when your procedure is finished. We:

  • Call patients the day after treatment to check on recovery and review instructions.
  • Schedule a follow-up appointment (typically at three weeks) to ensure healing is on track.
  • Provide Dr. Belcher’s personal cell phone number for post-surgical patients — so you always have direct access if something arises.

Collaboration for Complex Cases

For advanced or multidisciplinary needs, Dr. Belcher works closely with general dentists, prosthodontists, orthodontists, endodontists, and medical professionals. Using digital imaging, case reviews, and coordinated planning, we ensure every treatment is designed for both functional health and long-term esthetics.
