Dr. Sigafoos

Dr. Sigafoos has been serving San Diego County for over 20 years as a periodontist, a dental expert who specializes in treating diseases of the gum and other supporting and surrounding tissues of the teeth. To be certified in periodontics (from the Greek peri, meaning “around,” and odous, meaning “tooth”), a dentist must complete at least three years of additional training after graduating from dental school. Dr. Sigafoos handles our office’s advanced periodontal disease treatment. He is a self-described perfectionist. “I strive to get the highest level of control over gum disease as possible,” he says.

Educating patients

Dr. Sigafoos takes an educational approach to gum disease therapy. “When patients understand the effects of periodontal disease,” he says, “they can prevent it and maintain their oral health and overall health.” Like his colleagues, Dr. Sigafoos is a great communicator. He takes the time to clearly explain periodontal disease and treatment procedures. He uses uncomplicated language to ensure that patients easily understand every step of their treatment.

Education

Dr. Sigafoos earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree and also completed his postgraduate periodontics studies at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
