Company Description
While most dentists can perform certain basic treatments well, specialists are different. They have advanced, intensive training in specific areas of dentistry. As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Rebecca Wagner specializes in gum health and dental implants. When you come to her for any periodontal or implant-related treatment, you’re seeing the best doctor for the job. But she doesn’t rely on her credentials alone to give you peace of mind; Dr. Wagner has created a unique office environment focused on your comfort.
No other periodontist in Chambersburg, PA offers a comparable experience. Here contentment overtakes all your concerns. In our peaceful, private treatment rooms, you can relax with music of your choice and a warm blanket. Meanwhile, in a waiting room designed by Dr. Wagner herself, your loved ones have access to a workspace, a coffee bar, free wi-fi, and free movies. If you’ll be visiting alone, we’ll even give you a ride to and from the office if needed. We’re not happy unless you feel special—because you are.
