Castro Derrick DDS MS

Specialized gum care requires precision. Periodontists focus on the structures supporting teeth—gums, bone, and connective tissue—addressing everything from gingivitis to complex dental implant placements. Procedures like scaling, root planing, and gum grafts fall under this scope, alongside treatments for periodontal disease. Unlike general dentistry, the field often intersects with systemic health, linking oral inflammation to broader conditions. Referrals typically come from dentists, but self-referrals aren’t uncommon for those monitoring persistent gum issues or exploring implant options.

Castro Derrick DDS MS operates at 30 Declaration Dr, Chico, CA 95973, a quiet stretch near Bidwell Park’s eastern edge.

This part of Chico blends medical offices with low-key residential pockets, keeping foot traffic minimal but intentional.
