Dr. Darrin Rapoport, DDS

Specialized gum care meets implant solutions in West Seattle. Periodontists handle more than routine cleanings—they address the foundation of oral health, from gum disease treatment to the precise placement of dental implants. For those needing bone grafting, sinus lifts, or crown lengthening, this practice offers targeted procedures often referred out by general dentists. The office sits on the third floor of a professional building at 411 Strander Blvd # 302, a stretch of Seattle where medical offices cluster near residential pockets and the waterfront’s quiet hum.

Unlike general dentistry, periodontics zeroes in on the structures supporting teeth, which makes referrals common but expertise rare. Direct questions about implant-supported dentures or gum recession treatments can go straight to their line at (206) 575-1086. First-time visitors might map the route in advance, as the building’s layout isn’t immediately obvious from the street—directions here clarify the entrance. Appointments here tend to run longer than a standard dental visit, so planning ahead avoids rushed decisions.
