Periodontal Procedures

Choosing where to have periodontal treatment done can feel overwhelming, especially when a recommendation involves your gums, the bone around your teeth, or tissue that needs careful attention before another procedure. Many patients in West Los Angeles search for an oral surgeon when a dentist flags a small but important issue, such as a restrictive band of tissue or a bony defect that needs to heal correctly. The good news is that the right care does not always require a sprawling list of services. Sometimes it requires a focused, surgical approach handled by specialists who do this work every day.

At Wilshire Oral Surgery and Implant Center, we take a deliberately focused view of periodontal care. Rather than offering every gum-related treatment, we concentrate on two specific procedures that support healthy outcomes and complement our core surgical work. Our board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeons, Dr. Jonathan Shadi and Dr. Saman Vahedi, perform these treatments as part of our broader oral surgery and implant services. If you have been referred for periodontal care, our procedures overview can help you understand how these services fit into a complete treatment plan.

The Periodontal Services We Offer

Our periodontal scope is intentionally limited to two procedures we perform with precision and consistency. We do not provide routine gum disease treatment, deep cleanings, or standalone gum grafting at our practice. Instead, we focus on surgical procedures that work hand in hand with implant placement, extractions, and other oral surgery treatments.

The two periodontal services we offer are designed to address specific structural needs in the mouth. Each one plays a distinct role in supporting healthy tissue and a stable foundation for future treatment. Here is a closer look at what we provide:

Both procedures are surgical in nature, and both are most effective when performed by a specialist with advanced training. By keeping our focus narrow, we are able to deliver these treatments at a high level rather than spreading our attention across services better suited to a general oral surgery and periodontal practice.

How These Procedures Support Implant and Surgical Care

These two periodontal services are not standalone offerings in the way they might be at a full-scope periodontal practice. Instead, we view them as complementary steps within the larger surgical workflow we provide every day. A patient preparing for an implant, for example, may first need a healthy tissue foundation before placement can succeed.

Guided tissue regeneration is a clear example of this connection. When bone or tissue has been lost, a regenerative procedure can help rebuild the site so it can later support a dental implant.

This same principle applies to areas that have undergone extractions or are being prepared with bone grafting. Research published in a 2023 peer-reviewed review on guided tissue and bone regeneration membranes highlights how barrier membranes help counteract bone loss caused by tooth extraction or periodontal disease.

A frenectomy can play a similar supporting role, releasing tissue that might otherwise interfere with healing, comfort, or the fit of a future restoration. By treating these procedures as part of a connected plan, we help patients move toward their final result with fewer setbacks.
