Specialist Care, Without the Referral Runaround
If your dentist has ever told you that you need to “see a specialist” for gum disease, a dental implant, or a bone graft, you already know the hassle that usually follows: finding a periodontist, waiting weeks for an appointment, retelling your history to someone new, and juggling two separate offices for one problem.
At Naples Dental Boutique, that extra step is gone. Our practice includes an in-house, Board-Certified Periodontal & Implant Surgeon — Dr. Zuleidy “Zuly” Fernandez — so specialist-level treatment happens right alongside your regular dental care with Dr. Hemita Klose.
Meet Your In-House Periodontist
Dr. Zuly ranks among the top 3% of dentists in the U.S. to hold Board Certification in Periodontics and Dental Implants. She completed advanced specialty training at NYU Langone Medical Center and the Mayo Clinic — consistently ranked the #1 hospital in the country — and holds dual postgraduate degrees in Periodontology and Biomedical Sciences. She’s also a trusted expert partner for Crest and Nobel Biocare, two of the most recognized names in dental care and implant technology.
But what sets her apart isn’t just the credentials. Dr. Zuly’s own path — immigrating to the U.S. as a child and building a life around resilience, art, and music — shapes a calm, patient-centered approach that’s rare in specialist care. Patients consistently describe her as thorough, reassuring, and genuinely invested in making a stressful procedure feel manageable.
What In-House Specialist Care Actually Covers
Having a periodontist on-site means the following are available without a referral to an outside office:
- Periodontal (gum) disease treatment — from early-stage intervention to surgical therapy for advanced cases
- Dental implants — precise, specialist-placed implants for a single tooth or full-mouth restoration
- Bone grafting — rebuilding bone structure to support implants or stabilize existing teeth
- Gum recession & cosmetic periodontal procedures — including crown lengthening and gum contouring for a healthier, more balanced smile
- Coordinated care — your periodontist and general dentist share the same records and treatment plan, so nothing gets lost between offices
Why This Matters for Your Treatment
Referrals aren’t just inconvenient — they can slow down care at exactly the moments when speed matters most, like active gum disease or a time-sensitive implant case. Keeping specialist and general care under one roof means:
- Faster treatment starts, with no waiting on referral paperwork
- One consistent care team that already knows your dental history
- Fewer offices, fewer forms, fewer repeated x-rays
Schedule Your Consultation
Dr. Zuly sees patients in-house Monday – Thursday, making it easy to book both your regular dental visit and a periodontal consultation without switching practices.
If you’ve been told you need a periodontist, or if you’re dealing with bleeding gums, gum recession, or considering a dental implant, you don’t need a referral to get started — just an appointment with us.
