Periodontal Treatments

At Advanced Perio, we understand the impact of your smile on your confidence and self-esteem. Whether you are unhappy with the appearance of your teeth and gums, need to address the early stages of periodontal disease, or want to stop gum recession in its tracks, we offer a wide range of treatment options to meet your needs.

Gum Grafting

In some cases where gum recession occurs, gum reconstruction using grafting techniques is an option. This periodontal procedure involves transplanting soft tissue from the roof of the mouth or other sources to cover the exposed portion of the tooth roots.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is usually performed to prepare the mouth for a procedure such as a crown, or correct a “gummy smile.” This specialized procedure involves reshaping or recontouring the gum tissue and bone to expose sufficient tooth structure for a crown, or to achieve aesthetic goals.

Periodontal Disease

At Advanced Perio, our team of specialists uses the most advanced tools, such as periodontal endoscopes to accurately assess the condition of our patient’s gums and teeth and identify problems without having to perform invasive surgery. We then offer a range of treatments, including scaling and root planing, laser therapy, pocket reduction, and tissue regeneration, to halt the progression of the disease and promote gum healing.

Less Pain, Faster Healing: Our Minimally Invasive Techniques and Treatment Options For Periodontal Disease

At Advanced Periodontics, we don’t just treat periodontal disease and other gum issues the same way other practices do. Our team of periodontists stays up-to-date on the latest research and techniques so that they can provide the most effective, evidence-based treatment options available. These minimally invasive treatment options, such as periodontal endoscopy and lasers, result in less pain, faster healing, and better outcomes.

1

Scaling and Root Planning

The initial stage of treatment for periodontal disease is usually a thorough cleaning that may include scaling and root planing. These non-surgical procedures aim to remove etiologic agents such as dental plaque and tartar, or calculus, which cause gingival inflammation and disease. Scaling and root planing can be used as a stand-alone treatment or a preventative measure and it has a high-efficacy in controlling and reversing periodontal disease in its early stages
2

Perioscope Treatment

The perioscope is a groundbreaking technology designed to explore and visualize the periodontal pocket under the gum of teeth affected by periodontitis. It allows our team to identify problems (cracks, perforations, and other disease-causing flaws of the tooth root’s surface) that are located under the gum, eliminating the need for invasive surgery.
3

Pocket Reduction Surgery

Osseous surgery, sometimes referred to as pocket reduction surgery, refers to a number of different surgeries aimed at gaining access to the tooth roots to remove tartar and disease-causing bacteria. Its goal is to reshape deformities and remove pockets in the alveolar bone surrounding the teeth, helping to treat more advanced periodontal diseases.
4

Guided Bone and Tissue Regeneration

One of the advanced treatment techniques we are proud to offer here at Advanced Perio is guided tissue regeneration. This treatment is used to stabilize endangered teeth and involves thoroughly cleaning the pocket and applying biologic materials, growth factors, and membranes to stimulate natural bone and tissue regeneration.
5

Laser Periodontal Surgery

Another cutting-edge treatment we proudly offer is the use of lasers to regenerate tissue. We use the Waterlase by Biolase, an all-tissue laser that can be used on both hard- and soft tissues to regenerate the tissues around your teeth (gum, bone, cementum, ligament) that are lost due to periodontal disease.

Frequently Asked Questions About Periodontal Treatment

What does periodontal treatment cost?

The fee for periodontal treatment can vary considerably depending on the complexity and length of treatment. An approximate fee can usually be determined at the initial visit, but on occasion, some initial treatment or further diagnostics must be completed before the final treatment planning can be established. Our philosophy of practice is to treat as conservatively as possible to attain treatment goals.

Will insurance cover the costs?

As we are currently not an in-network provider with any insurance company, we require payment in full for your services, and after your claim has been processed by your insurance company, you will be paid directly or, if payment is sent to our office, we will write a refund check and send it to you within 30 days. Since our work is not dictated by insurance providers, we are able to provide you with the care you need, rather than the restrictive care insurance requires.

Will I need surgery?

Not everyone needs periodontal surgery. If treated early, gum disease can be controlled without surgery. We will make recommendations based on your individual situation. Our philosophy of practice is to treat as conservatively as possible to attain treatment goals.

Can my teeth be saved?

The recent advances in periodontal treatment allow us to treat most teeth successfully.

What if I don’t have gum treatment?

Periodontal disease is a progressive, painless infection. Delays can cause further bone loss and more expense. If your teeth are lost, replacements are never as effective as your own natural teeth.

I was recently seen by Dr. Nguyen at Advanced Perio for removal of a failing dental implant. He and the AP staff were absolutely first-rate. Friendly, caring and highly skilled professionals, and amazingly adept at their work. What could have been a traumatic, painful ordeal turned out to be quite a smooth procedure. And recovery has been a breeze. Highly recommended!

My husband was referred here by his dentist. He went here just for an exam. The office told him that the exam would be covered 100% -80%. Turns out the exam was not covered. They were not upfront about the fact that they are out of network with all insurance companies. The insurance only covered $40 for a simple exam. This place is not upfront and honest about their policies and when I asked they told me it’s all written on their website. I don’t care if it’s written on the website or now they need to let people know ahead of time they are out of network. I’m very disappointed in this place and my husband won’t be going back here.

I had a gum graft at Advanced Perio this summer. Dr. Kaminsky and Kira made me feel so comfortable during the procedure and at my follow ups. You can't even see the graft now that it has healed. Super knowledgeable team who doesn't try to upsell you - I had a great experience.

They really need to disclose their predatory billing practices PRIOR to scheduling or, at the very least, prior the conducting the evaluation that they charge for. This is such a dishonest way to operate. Now, I'll be getting a bill for a completely pointless evaluation and am stuck trying to find a new perio who will certainly require their own evaluation before starting treatment so my treatment has just been set back months. I'll be letting my dentist know to stop referring patients here!

I recently had a gum graft procedure done, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Dr. Weinstein and the entire team was professional, attentive, and genuinely cared about my comfort throughout the process. From the initial consultation to the follow-up appointments, they provided clear guidance and support every step of the way. Huge thanks to the whole team ( Reem, Jessica & Silas) for their exceptional work and dedication to patient care. Highly recommended for anyone needing periodontal treatment.

Last Spring had a gum graft procedure at Advanced Periodontics, and I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. Dr. Kaminsky and her well-honed team are phenomenal.What truly set this experience apart was Dr. Kaminsky's commitment to find the best solution for my particular case. Instead of immediately opting for the typical surgical approach, she proactively investigated whether an alternative strategy would be possible that could improve my outcome and recovery experience. This led her to find that it would be possible to take the tissue for the graft from an area near where I previously had wisdom teeth, rather than the roof of my mouth, as usually required. The result was a remarkably smooth and fast recovery with essentially no pain.Throughout the process, I felt well-informed and engaged. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I got an implant from Dr. Weinstein on my front tooth recently and I cannot recommend him enough! He did such a good job and he, and his team of Chey and Jessica, were so knowledgable and patient as I had a million questions at every step of the process!

Dr. Boyapati is the best. Immediately upon meeting her I knew I was in great hands -- she's kind, communicates clearly, and took her time during our appointments. Her assistant Chey helped me feel comfortable for the procedure and explained everything I needed to know for post-op. Overall, everything was quick and easy -- highly recommend Dr. Boyapati and Advanced Perio!

They were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive to my needs.Dr. Nguyen took the time to explain every step of the procedure, and made what is typically a stressful experience smooth and painless.🙌♥️ thank you

My dentist, Dr. Sekijima, referred me to Dr. Boyapati for tooth resorption. (She told me how great Dr. Boyapati is and I trust anything Dr. Sekijima tells me because she’s an amazing dentist.) Dr. Boyapati and staff exceeded expectations! I had an extraction & socket graft, as well as a gum graft and everything went so smoothly! She’s a great doctor, so reassuring, and one of the kindest people I’ve ever met.

As a rule, I wouldn't call 'having a tooth extracted' a great experience. But, Dr. Boyapati and the entire staff—including her surgical assistant Jessica—really made it into one.Their offices are easily accessible downtown with lots of parking. Everyone is friendly, kind, professional, understanding, and very aware of the fact that this kind of procedure is SCARY. To that end, I am very delighted that they offer a menu of different sedation options, ranging from nitrous oxide all the way up to full sedation with an anesthesiologist.Personally, I opted for oral sedation, which requires you to have someone drive you to and from the appointment, but otherwise was easy as can be. I was completely numb and totally blissed out the entire time, and never experienced any real pain from the procedure.I hope I never have to have another tooth extracted, but if I do, I will definitely go back to Advanced Perio.

Dr. Kaminsky and Michelle are amazing!! All of the staff are knowledgeable, kind, compassionate and professional. I’ve been seeing them for almost a year and I’ve only had good experiences.Their instructions, guidance, and expertise made unpleasant procedures more enjoyable.I also value their accounting/billing department’s transparency and explanation for the cost of procedures. Like Dr. Kaminsky and Michelle, they were with me every step of the way.

I was referred here by my regular dentist for periodontal disease and have not only received excellent care at every visit, my gums are now so improved I no longer need to go here!Dr. Kaminsky was kind, professional and answered all my questions. Most importantly, she got the results I needed. Crystal was also excellent, both knowledgeable and personable. I highly recommend Advanced Periodontics.

Great experience from the front office all the way to the doctors!I am an anxious patient with white coat syndrome so I especially appreciated Crystal's caring bedside manner. She gently and accurately communicated each and every step. She made sure I understood and was ok with each step and then checked up on me after to make sure I was still comfortable.Unfortunately, this is not my mouth's first extract/implant encounter- fortunately, I can honestly say this has been BY FAR the best.

I have had a few cleanings here and every hygienist exceeds and goes beyond any expectation. Most recently I saw Lisa for my cleaning and she was very professional and made me feel comfortable. The dental assistant Rosa took some X-rays which I’m usually not a fan of but she made it go so smoothly! Definitely will keep coming here due to the high level of exceptional care they provide! 10/10

Had to go in last summer for microsurgery to treat an infection and we just finished our post procedure follow up. Staff was very friendly and helpful, Dr. Kaminsky did an amazing job getting me back in good shape.Loved how clean and professional the place looked. Very happy with my experience there.

Completely PAINLESS! I am truly amazed at this clinic's ability to perform aggressive dental surgeries without there being any pain. Over the years I have had a root canal, an implant, and two major extractions in this clinic and every time is shockingly pain free. I cannot recommend this place enough.
