Information for Referring Dentists

Supporting Referring Dentists with Specialized Periodontal Care

Many patients are referred to a periodontist when specialized treatment is needed for gum disease, dental implants, or periodontal surgery. Cornick Family Periodontics has served the Somerville community since 1966 and works closely with referring dentists throughout New Jersey. Dr. Peter Cornick focuses on providing careful diagnosis, surgical treatment, and clear communication so referring offices remain informed throughout the patient’s care. Our goal is to support the restorative treatment plan while ensuring patients receive consistent and attentive periodontal care.


Dentists who wish to refer a patient may contact the office directly at (908) 526-0545.
