Scope of Practice
Dr. Bouffard is certified as a Diplomate by the American Board of Periodontics. He completed residencies in both Hospital Dentistry and specialty training in Periodontics. Upon completion of Residency training, he successfully pursued board certification and became one of only a small percentage of periodontists who are Board Certified in Periodontics and Dental Implantology. To achieve board certification takes a great deal of effort and requires regular recertification. For his patients, that means that Dr. Bouffard has achieved the highest level of training and certification possible in his profession. To retain board certification he attends extensive annual continuing education and is required to take a recertification examination periodically.
