Queen Creek, Ariz., recently got its first full-time periodontics office, the Queen Creek Tribune reported Aug. 7.
Niels Jensen, DMD, told the Tribune he decided to open Queen Creek Implant and Periodontics because services in the state have not been able to keep up with the state's growth.
The Queen Creek office is part of a group practice with other locations in Chandler, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale.
Dr. Jensen said several dentists in the area told him they would refer patients to the practice's Mesa office because they didn't have a periodontist close by.
