Dr. Cecilia Perera, DDS, MS

About Dr. Cecilia.

Dr. Cecilia Perera is a board-certified periodontist and implantologist and a Diplomate of the American Academy of Periodontology. Born in New Orleans and raised in Venezuela, Dr. Perera completed her dental training at Santa Maria University in Caracas, then earned her Master of Science in Periodontics at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. She speaks fluent English and Spanish and leads the implant and periodontal program at Baker Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. She lives in Safety Harbor with her husband Dr. Craig Baker and their school-age son — and volunteers regularly at his school. Outside the practice, Dr. Perera is passionate about flamenco and Latin dance, and her favorite meals are traditional Spanish cuisine and a good piece of sushi. If she hadn't become a periodontist, she says she would have pursued plastic surgery — drawn to the same blend of precision, aesthetics, and restorative impact she brings to dental work every day.
