When most people think about oral health, they focus on brushing, flossing, and avoiding cavities. But the health of your gums plays an equally vital role, not only in preserving your teeth, but also in protecting your overall well-being.

At Tarzana Dental Center and Specialities, we offer expert periodontics services designed to diagnose, treat, and prevent gum disease using advanced technology and compassionate care.

Whether you’re already experiencing symptoms like bleeding gums or you're exploring options for dental implants, understanding what periodontics can offer is the first step to restoring confidence in your smile.

Periodontics is the branch of dentistry that focuses on the structures that support your teeth,  primarily your gums and jawbone. A periodontist is a dental specialist trained in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal (gum) disease, as well as the placement of dental implants and other procedures involving soft tissue and bone.

At Tarzana Dental Center, our comprehensive periodontics services cover everything from early-stage gum disease treatment to full-mouth rehabilitation with dental implants.

Gum disease often develops silently, with symptoms that may be easy to ignore at first. If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to schedule an evaluation

1. Bleeding when brushing or flossing
2. Chronic bad breath
3. Red, swollen, or tender gums
4. Receding gumlines
5. Loose or shifting teeth
6. Tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
7. Pain when chewing

Addressing these symptoms early can prevent further complications,  including tooth loss.

We offer a full range of periodontal care under one roof, making it easier to get the treatment you need without referrals or added travel. Our services include:

Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)

This non-surgical procedure removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, smoothing the root surfaces to help the gums reattach and heal.

Gum Grafting and Regenerative Procedures

If your gums have receded or your bone has been damaged by periodontitis, we offer grafting techniques to restore lost tissue and prevent further damage.

Laser Periodontal Therapy

Minimally invasive laser technology allows us to treat infected gum tissue with greater precision, reducing discomfort and healing time.

Dental Implants and Bone Grafting

When tooth loss occurs, our periodontal team can place dental implants and perform bone grafts to ensure a stable, long-term solution for your smile.

Each treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs, with a focus on comfort, longevity, and aesthetics.
