Dr. Sima is an absolute lifesaver — I’m only 2 weeks out from my gum graft and already SO happy I chose him! About a month ago I had a deep cavity filled at another office, and right after the procedure a huge piece of my gum just vanished around that tooth. The root was completely exposed — every breath of cold air, sip of water, or brush stroke was pure torture, and I was mortified by how it looked. I was miserable. I called Dr. Sima’s office and when I saw him he instantly knew what went wrong with the previous filling, explained everything so clearly, and scheduled my gum graft right away — I didn’t have to wait weeks in pain. The grafting surgery itself (just 2 weeks ago) was way easier than I feared. Dr. Sima and his team kept me completely comfortable.Recovery has been smooth — I followed his instructions to the letter and the discomfort was minimal. Even at only 2 weeks post-op, the grafted area already looks amazing, the horrible sensitivity is basically gone, and I can tell it’s only going to get better. If you’re dealing with receding gums or sensitivity talk to Dr. Sima. He’s incredibly skilled, genuinely caring, and his staff is wonderful. Thank you, Dr. Sima — you turned a nightmare situation around so fast!

After not seeing a dentist in a very long time, I had my gums receding and I was nervous to go back to it. This was by far one of the best experiences I have had. I am thankful for Dr. Sima and the entire staff at Sierra Nevada Periodontics. I look forward to feeling good when I smile again.

Dr French is the best periodontist ever!! She explains every step that she is doing, and why. Always concerned with my comfort. I'm looking at losing an implant, and she has explained my options, and comforted me because we've been through a lot together. If you ever need the best periodontist ever, Sierra Nevada Periodontics, Dr Amy French!

I've had three procedures done here and each one was done very professionally. I had to have grafts applied to my gums and each time the procedure and my responsibility for successful healing were communicated clearly.
This office knows their stuff and cares about your healing and recovery!

The office staff was wonderful. I had the best exam I have ever had, and I was in the dental field for over 40 years. The dentist took time to answer all my questions. After my extractions, I will be going back to them for my implant. I
highly recommend them.

About Sierra Nevada Periodontics and Implant Dentistry
Sierra Nevada Periodontics and Implant Dentistry is a specialty practice in Reno, Nevada, located on Mae Anne Avenue near the northwest side of the city. The practice focuses on periodontal care and dental implant treatment, including single tooth implants, full arch replacement, and All-on-4 style solutions for patients who are missing some or all of their teeth. The team also treats gum disease at every stage, from early intervention through advanced procedures such as bone and soft tissue grafting, so that patients who need implants can first get a healthy foundation for their new teeth.
What sets this practice apart is the depth of specialized experience on staff. Patients are cared for by periodontists with backgrounds ranging from military dental service to nationally recognized continuing education leadership, and the practice emphasizes personalized treatment planning and patient education rather than a one size fits all approach. For anyone in the Reno area weighing dental implant options, from a single missing tooth to a full mouth restoration, this practice offers the kind of specialized surgical training that general dentists typically refer out for.
