Dr. Cecilia Perera, Board-Certified Periodontist and Implantologist - Baker Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Diplomate of the American Academy of Periodontology

¡Hola!, I’m Dr. Cecilia Perera, and I’m passionate about helping patients restore their oral health.

As a board-certified periodontist, I bring years of advanced training and experience to Baker Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. I specialize in periodontal care and dental implants.

Mission

At Baker Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we’ve built a team that’s not only highly skilled but also warm and caring. We believe that great dentistry starts with building trust and making sure every patient feels at ease. From your very first visit, you’ll notice our commitment to your comfort and satisfaction.

My Journey in Dentistry

I began my career at Santa Maria University in Caracas, Venezuela, where I earned my dental degree. From there, I pursued advanced studies at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, completing a Master’s in the Science of Dentistry with a focus on periodontics. My commitment to excellence in patient care led me to achieve diplomate status in periodontics, a distinction that reflects my expertise and dedication to the field.

“I believe that great care goes beyond clinical expertise—it’s about building trust and understanding your unique needs. My goal is to help each patient feel confident and informed about their treatment plan, ensuring a positive experience every step of the way.”

Specialized Expertise

Periodontal health is the foundation of a great smile, and I’m here to help you achieve it. My areas of expertise include:

Dental Implants: From single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations.
Bone Grafting: Restoring the foundation for long-term oral health.
Periodontal Disease Treatment: Comprehensive care to manage and treat gum disease.
Soft Tissue Grafting: Addressing gum recession with precision.
Sinus Augmentation: Preparing for successful implant placement.
Crown Lengthening & Pocket Reduction Surgery: Enhancing oral health and aesthetics.
Guided Tissue Regeneration: Advanced techniques for restoring gum and bone health.

Every procedure I perform is rooted in a commitment to precision, comfort, and outstanding results.

Life Beyond Dentistry

When I’m not in the office, I love spending time with my family. My husband, Dr. Craig Baker, and I have been married for over 12 years, and together we’re raising our wonderful young son, who is currently in kindergarten.

Born in New Orleans and raised in Venezuela, I’m fluent in both English and Spanish, which helps me connect with patients from diverse backgrounds. My family and I are avid travelers, always seeking new adventures and cherishing the serenity of music, which is an integral part of my life.

Why I Love What I Do

For me, dentistry is about more than procedures—it’s about making a lasting impact on my patients’ lives. Whether it’s helping someone regain confidence with dental implants or addressing complex periodontal concerns, I’m dedicated to delivering care that’s as compassionate as it is effective.
