Gum Treatments and Services in Santa Monica

 

Santa Monica Periodontics & Implant Surgery provides specialized care for gum, jaw, and overall tooth health. Periodontal (gum) disease is a common issue among all ages, which is why we concentrate on cleanings and therapies designed to eradicate or treat gum disease before it becomes a problem. Periodontal disease is a progressive disease ranging from gum inflammation to significant conditions that result in damage to the gums and bone, and it is the leading cause of tooth loss.

Some of our popular services include:  

 

 

Because we take a comprehensive approach to treating our patients, we don’t just look at the teeth but instead look at the overall health of the mouth. Bacterial infection can develop unnoticed, but with our help this “invisible” threat can be safely removed.


 

 

What to Expect from a Periodontist

 

The doctors and staff of Santa Monica Periodontics & Implant Surgery believe healthy teeth and gums are the foundation of good health. Our educated professionals are committed to providing long-lasting treatments to prevent gum disease, and effectively treat gum health issues. We always treat the patient, not just the gums, and we will never suggest or perform unnecessary procedures.

We also want our patients to enjoy their time with us, so we focus on creating a warm and welcoming environment through delivering on-time appointments, prompt service, and open communication. Dr. Greenberg, Dr. Raschkovsky and staff keep current with technological advancements and trends, ensuring our patients receive only the best care. A customized treatment plan designed with the patient's needs in mind is established during consultations, so that all parties are aware of any problems, as well as all available solutions. And since periodontists manage the soft tissue, our patients experience only gentle and compassionate care whether they are receiving non-surgical therapies or are having dental implants placed.

We are proud of the relationships we have with our established patients – please check out our patient reviews  and discover for yourself what people are saying about our practice!

The primary focus of this residency training is on both surgical and non surgical management of periodontal disease and the placement of dental implants. Conditions Treated by a Periodontist The...
