Training
Dr. Chaliff graduated as valedictorian of Riverwood High School and earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology from the University of Georgia, summa cum laude with Honors.
At Columbia University College of Dental Medicine, he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery and received the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons’ Dental Student Award and the Louis Mandel Award for proficiency in oral surgery.
He then completed a six-year oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. During his residency, he earned his Doctor of Medicine from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and served as Chief Resident at a Level I trauma center.
Because he is trained as both a dentist and a physician, he looks at your overall health, not just the tooth in question, when planning surgery and anesthesia.
YOUR CARE AT PERIMETER
What to Expect at Perimeter
At your first visit, Dr. Chaliff explains what he found in plain language, what he recommends, and why. You have time to ask questions before you decide anything.
Dr. Chaliff provides wisdom tooth removal and other extractions, dental implants and bone grafting, oral pathology, corrective jaw surgery, TMJ care, and facial reconstruction.
For dental implants, he uses digital planning and guided surgery to place each implant precisely. In some cases, the implant can go in the same day the tooth comes out.
