About This Provider
Dr. Yetta McCullom, DDS, MA, has practiced periodontics on Chicago's South Side for 41 years, building her career on one clear commitment: treating gum disease with the most advanced tools available. She earned her DDS from Howard University College of Dentistry in 1985 and is one of the few periodontists in the region certified in Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure (LANAP), a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery that preserves healthy tissue and shortens recovery time. She does not simply perform LANAP in her own practice; she teaches it as an Institute of Advanced Laser Dentistry Instructor, training other dentists in the same laser techniques her patients receive. Her South Side Chicago practice covers the full scope of periodontal care, from non-surgical gum disease treatment and implant complication management to cosmetic procedures including gum depigmentation and gummy smile correction. Patients rate her 4.8 out of 5 stars and consistently describe her as professional, compassionate, and skilled at delivering pain-free results. She holds in-network status with 13 major insurance carriers.
