Wesley L Hanson DDS, MSD - Poulsbo Periodontics & Implant Center

Periodontal care often bridges the gap between routine dental visits and long-term oral health, especially when gum disease or tooth loss enters the picture. Specialists in this field handle everything from gum grafting to dental implants, addressing issues that general dentists may refer out. For patients in Kitsap County, finding a practice that focuses solely on periodontics and implants can simplify what might otherwise feel like a fragmented process. The area around Poulsbo—tucked between the Hood Canal and Liberty Bay—has long been home to a mix of maritime trades and healthcare providers, making it a practical hub for specialized services.

Wesley L Hanson DDS, MSD - Poulsbo Periodontics & Implant Center operates at 1040 NE Hostmark St, a short drive from downtown Poulsbo’s waterfront core. The practice’s name signals its dual emphasis: treating gum disease (periodontics) and restoring function with implants, including procedures like bone regeneration or sinus lifts when needed. While many dental offices offer implants as an add-on, a dedicated periodontist’s office typically approaches them as part of a broader strategy for gum and bone health. Directions to the office are straightforward—just off Hostmark Street, near the intersection with NE Lincoln Road.

Scheduling a consultation usually starts with a call to (360) 779-4556, where staff can clarify whether a referral is required or if the practice accepts direct bookings. For those mapping the route, the directions place the office in a cluster of professional buildings, convenient for patients coming from Bainbridge Island or Silverdale. As with any specialty practice, it’s wise to confirm insurance compatibility upfront—though that’s a detail best handled in the initial conversation.
