Overview of Periodontal Surgery
Your experience starts with an initial consultation.

Our Periodontists will answer any questions you have and offer transparent treatment plans and fees for you to review.
His periodontal surgery procedures for patients in Beverly Hills include:
General periodontal surgery. Surgical intervention in more severe cases allows our Periodontists to access the infected area, treat disease, and repair damage.
Bone regeneration and guided tissue regeneration. Our Periodontists use bio-compatible materials to stimulate the growth of the bone and ligaments that gum disease has damaged.
Crown lengthening. Whether you have a tooth that’s worn down to the gum line or a cavity that’s inaccessible for restoration, this procedure reveals more of the tooth to allow treatment.
Gum recession surgery. If dental roots have become exposed, a tissue transfer or tissue sculpting can help preserve your teeth, improve your smile and reduce the amount of gum tissue that is visible when you smile.
Aesthetic tissue sculpting. Aesthetic tissue sculpting re-contours the gums and bone to revise the appearance of your teeth, transforming your gummy smile.
