Dr. Gaither A. Johnson, DDS

Ever wonder where Sellwood’s quiet streets lead when gum health starts feeling like more than a toothbrush can handle? Specialized care exists just off the main drag—Dr. Gaither A. Johnson, DDS focuses on the structures that anchor every smile. Periodontists here tackle gum disease, receding tissue, and dental implants; each procedure aims to stabilize what daily brushing can’t always reach.

Sellwood’s older homes and mature trees mirror the kind of long-term attention this practice brings to oral foundations. At 5025 SE 28th Ave Portland, OR 97202, the office sits between a neighborhood café and a used bookstore, blending seamlessly into the low-key rhythm of the area. Residents often walk past without realizing a clinic dedicated to gum grafting and pocket reduction sits steps from the corner.

Questions about loose teeth or persistent inflammation don’t have to wait until the next general check-up. Scaling and root planing, crown lengthening, and regenerative treatments are all part of the routine here. The goal isn’t just to treat symptoms but to restore the underlying support system that keeps teeth secure for decades.
