Biography

About Dr. Ceravolo

Dr. Joseph J. Ceravolo returned to the Palm Beach area after completing his periodontal surgical residency at Baylor College of Dentistry in 1986, and has maintained a practice limited exclusively to periodontics ever since. With nearly four decades of uninterrupted specialist practice, Dr. Ceravolo brings a depth of clinical experience that is rare in any field.

His clinical interests encompass the full scope of modern periodontics: reconstructive plastic surgery of the gingival tissues, regenerative and augmentation procedures of bone, soft-tissue laser therapy, and the placement of dental implants. He approaches each case with the meticulous attention to detail that only decades of focused specialty practice can produce.

Dr. Ceravolo is an active member of the American Academy of Periodontology, the American Dental Association, the Florida Dental Association, and the North Palm Beach Dental Society. His long-standing involvement in professional organizations reflects a career defined by commitment to the highest standards in periodontal care.
