Dr. Will Perkinson was born and raised in Richmond, VA. After graduating with a B.A. in Biology from the University of Virginia, he attended Virginia Commonwealth University’s School of Dentistry where he graduated cum laude in 2002. He has been working at the Huguenot Road location ever since, including a two year internship with Dr. Baxter Perkinson in full mouth reconstruction and implants.
As a general dentist, Dr. Perkinson provides routine services including crowns, veneers, and root canals as well as surgical procedures including wisdom tooth removal, hard and soft tissue grafting, and implants. “I especially enjoy replacing missing teeth. We have more options than ever before with dental implants. When you can’t eat well, your overall health suffers.” Dr. Perkinson also provides several levels of sedation for anxious patients including oral and intravenous conscious sedation. “Anxiety doesn’t have to be a barrier to a healthy mouth.”
Dr. Perkinson attended the Misch Institute for post doctorate work in dental implants and bone grafting and received his sedation training in 2006 at Miami Valley Hospital in Dayton, Ohio. He has been adjunct faculty in the VCU Advanced Education in General Dentistry since 2007, as well as an occasional lecturer on implant dentistry. Dr. Perkinson is a fellow in the International College of Oral Implantologists, a member of the American Dental Association, the Virginia Dental Association, and the Richmond Dental Society.
When not working, Will can be found playing mandolin in a bluegrass band or hiking in the mountains with his dog.
