Meet Dr.Li
Dr. Gary Li is a board-certified periodontist who believes that healthy, natural teeth are the foundation of a confident smile. His philosophy centers on preserving and regenerating what nature has given us — combining advanced technology with minimally invasive techniques to help patients keep their own teeth whenever possible.
Originally from Boston, Dr. Li graduated with honors from Boston University School of Dental Medicine and went on to complete specialty training in Periodontology at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where he served as Chief Resident. During his residency, he received the Predoctoral American Academy of Periodontology Award and the American Dental Partners Foundation Scholarship, recognizing his excellence in clinical care and leadership.
Dr. Li is certified in the LANAP® (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) protocol — a revolutionary laser therapy that allows for the treatment of gum disease without traditional cutting or sutures. This technology uses targeted laser energy to remove infection while stimulating the body’s natural ability to regenerate bone and connective tissue around compromised teeth. By promoting true regeneration rather than simply arresting disease, LANAP gives many patients the opportunity to save teeth that might otherwise be lost to advanced periodontal disease.
In addition to LANAP, Dr. Li performs a full scope of periodontal and implant procedures, including bone regeneration, soft tissue grafting, extraction, and implant placement. He is dedicated to providing biologically sound, evidence-based treatment that balances health, function, and esthetics — always with patient comfort as a top priority.
Outside the office, Dr. Li enjoys exploring new restaurants, golfing, and cheering on the Boston Celtics. He brings that same warmth and enthusiasm into his practice, striving to create an environment where patients feel informed, cared for, and confident in their treatment choices.
Dr. Li’s mission is simple: to save teeth whenever possible through regenerative, minimally invasive care — restoring health and comfort while preserving each patient’s natural smile.
