Meet The Dentist

Hello, I am Dr. Eric Blasingame, the owner and CEO of Team Perio. When I decided to become a periodontist I did it because I wanted to help people. I realized that mouth pain, oral disease, and missing teeth are more than just physical issues. Many people have a lot of anxiety and negativity about dental treatment, especially with surgical treatment. I wanted to create an environment for our patients where they receive safe, predictable dental surgical treatment, but done in a way that creates a positive experience. There are so many examples where people have negative experiences in health care. Our focus has been helping people experience dental surgery in a positive way.

As our dental surgical speciality practice grew, I reached a point where I couldn’t fit any more patients into my schedule. That begged the question from me: could we train other doctors to provide that same positive experience? With the help of additional doctors and a highly trained team, our reach expanded, allowing us to have a positive impact on more patients. My vision expanded as well. I wanted to bring Team Perio to other communities that lack periodontal and dental implant surgical services. It has been a joy to watch the positive impact we have had in the various communities we have joined.

In addition to creating a positive experience, we have focused on providing high level, comprehensive, quality oral surgical care. This is through continuing education and investing in the latest technologies that are available in our field. We work closely with general dentists and enjoy taking the team approach to providing dental care.
