Dr. Lee Colfer (Certified specialist in Periodontics)

As a periodontist, Dr. Colfer has specialized in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal diseases as well as performing periodontal plastic surgery. At our practice, we are also leaders in regenerative bone and tissue therapies, cosmetic periodontal procedures, and placement of dental implants.

With her extensive background in periodontology and a strong commitment to continued education, Dr. Colfer is dedicated to providing the latest periodontal treatment for patients.

She has studied three additional years of formal education beyond dental school, with further extensive training in a range of areas. Certified periodontists must meet the rigid requirements of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (RCDC) through written and oral examinations before RCDC examiners and peers. Only then can a periodontist be certified in Canada. Only certified periodontists can deliver unbiased, evidence-based treatments for your patients.
