Meet Dr. Abron

Armin Abron, DDS, MS, PA

Dr. Abron is a specialist in Periodontics and Implantology. His practice specializes in conservative treatment of gum disease, including specialized interests in soft tissue reconstructive plastic surgery to aesthetically enhance the smile and dental implants that can replace single or multiple missing teeth. He uses the latest technology and science to regenerate bone in the jaws, where bone loss was caused by infection from gum disease, loss of teeth, or injury. This includes sinus bone grafting, where many patients lack sufficient bone thickness in the upper posterior jaw in order to place implants. He also diagnoses and treats oral pathology. Dr. Abron’s main interests include implant and advanced bone reconstruction, as well as soft-tissue and esthetic surgery.

Dr. Abron earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree (D.D.S.) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2002. Dr. Abron then went on to complete a 3-year surgical residency in Periodontics at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in New York, where he also obtained his Masters in Periodontics.
