Dr Elizabeth Kivus

“Regeneration and implant therapy have revolutionized the field of periodontics. Periodontists have the knowledge and ability to rebuild lost bone and soft tissue, and to replace missing teeth. We recreate the foundation of oral health. My commitment to continuing education has been valuable, expanding my knowledge and skill in minimally invasive surgery, periodontal plastic surgery, hard and soft tissue regeneration and implant therapy. In additional to providing surgical therapy, I value the importance of patient education, helping patients to better understand the intimate connection of oral health and systemic health. I look forward to helping patients reach their goal of a healthy and radiant smile.” Dr. Kivus served the Navajo Native Americans for two years as a general dentist through Indian Health Services. Her experience motivated her to return to academia and specialize in periodontics, as many of her patients suffered from periodontal disease and its systemic co-morbidities. Dr. Kivus maintains memberships in the Birmingham District Dental Society, the Alabama Dental Association, the Alabama Society of Periodontics, the Southern Academy of Periodontology, the American Dental Association, the Academy of Periodontology and the Academy of Osseointegration. Dr. Kivus is active in the local running community and a member of the Birmingham Track Club. You may see her out running with friends, her husband, Brett, or her dog, Macy.
