H. Kendall Scholes, DMD, MS
I come from a family of dentists, including my grandfather, father, and uncles. After graduating from the Dental School at Oregon Health Sciences University in 1992, I went on to complete my residency in Periodontics at Northwestern University. While in Chicago, I also received a Master of Science Degree in Immunology. My wife and I opened our private practice in Chandler, Arizona in 1999. It’s hard to believe I have been practicing Periodontics for almost 30 years.
Same day smile– It is now possible to go from missing teeth to having functional and aesthetically pleasing teeth in just one session. If you’d like a beautiful smile without having to wait 4-6 months, as is typical with traditional Dental Implants, Dr. Scholes offer a Same-Day Smile, or Bar Attachment Denture. We also offer the All-on-4 Treatment Concept by Nobel Biocare, which is a very popular and successful Implant-Supported Denture.

Frequently Asked Questions
DenScore rates periodontists based on clinical qualifications, patient satisfaction, scheduling flexibility, and other criteria. While periodontists may request inclusion in our directories, they are thoroughly vetted and must meet our strict quality control standards to be listed.

Most dental insurance plans cover at least 50% of periodontal treatments such as scaling and root planing or gum surgery, as long as you visit an in-network provider. For families with Medicaid, periodontal care is often covered for children, though in many states it is not covered for adults. For seniors, regular Medicare does not cover periodontal procedures, but many Medicare Advantage plans include benefits for scaling and root planing, gum surgeries, and other treatments, which can significantly reduce out-of-pocket costs. If you’re comparing dental insurance options and want to maximize savings on dental care, we created this checklist for you!
Periodontal procedures can be costly, especially if gum disease affects multiple areas of your mouth. To avoid overpaying, it’s a good idea to contact several offices and compare prices for the specific treatment you need, since fees for the same procedure can vary widely between providers. Keep in mind that many offices charge different rates for patients with insurance compared to those paying out of pocket. Another way to lower costs is by visiting a dental school, where student dentists provide treatment under faculty supervision at prices that are often much lower than private practice rates.
Periodontists specialize in treating gum disease, performing gum surgeries and placing dental implants. Although some general dentists can place implants or perform gum surgeries, seeing a periodontist is often advantageous because they have advanced training and greater experience with these specialized procedures.
