$99 applied toward your treatment.

When Gum Symptoms  
Need a Specialist

Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Gums pulling back, or teeth that look longer
Persistent bad breath
Teeth that feel loose or have shifted
Discomfort when chewing

You may have several of these, or none. A full periodontal exam is the only way to know how far it has progressed.

Gum and Bone Care Is Its Own Specialty

Dr. Tala Ebrahimian

Periodontist & Implant Specialist

A general dentist treats the whole mouth. A periodontist trains for several additional years on one part of it — the gums and the bone holding your teeth in place. Once gum disease moves past the surface, or once bone has been lost, that is the training the case needs. At Smile Lab your periodontist works down the hall from your restorative dentist and oral surgeon, so your plan does not get handed between offices.

Gum and Bone Treatment at Smile Lab

Dr. Tala also places dental implants and prepares the surgical site. Your final crown is completed by a Smile Lab restorative dentist.

Gum grafting

Rebuilds gum tissue that has receded and covers exposed roots. It reduces sensitivity and protects the root from decay.

Bone grafting

Rebuilds bone lost to gum disease, infection, or a missing tooth. The graft acts as a scaffold your body builds on over the following months.

Osseous surgery

Cleans out deep pockets and reshapes the bone around the tooth so the gum can fit closely again. Used when deep cleaning alone has not resolved the pockets.

Crown lengthening

Adjusts the gum, and sometimes a small amount of bone, to expose more of a tooth. Used when a crown or filling needs more surface to hold onto.

Ridge and sinus augmentation

Restores bone width, height, or sinus clearance in areas where an implant is planned. Often done as a separate step before the implant.

Gentle Extraction With Socket Preservation

When a tooth cannot be saved, it is removed with as little disruption to the surrounding bone as possible, and the site is grafted so your options stay open.

X-rays, and 3D imaging where the case calls for it.

We Build Your Plan and Price It

You leave knowing your options and what each one costs.

Common Periodontist Questions

1. Do I need a referral from my dentist?

No. You can book directly. If you were referred, bring any recent X-rays and we will coordinate with your dentist.

2. Will treatment hurt?

We numb the area before any treatment, and our team is experienced with patients who feel anxious. If that is a concern, ask about sedation options at your consultation.

3. Will I need more than one appointment?

Most plans involve more than one visit, depending on how many areas are treated. You will have the full schedule before you start.

4. Will I need to stop my medications, like blood thinners?

We review your medications before any procedure. Never stop or change a medication on your own — we will guide you and coordinate with your physician when appropriate.

5. Is periodontal treatment covered by insurance?

Smile Lab accepts PPO dental insurance, and depending on your plan, benefits may cover part of eligible periodontal care. We review your anticipated benefits and give you an estimate before treatment begins. Final coverage is determined by your plan and is not guaranteed.

6. What if I have already been told I need surgery?

Bring that plan in. There is often more than one way to approach a case, and a second opinion from a specialist costs you a single appointment.
