A dentist treats the teeth, gums, and other areas of the mouth, while a periodontist only treats the gums and the bone supporting the teeth. The periodontist typically sees severe, complex cases that require a specialist.

No cutting. No stitches. Faster healing times.

Valencia Periodontics is one of the first in the area to offer the FDA-cleared laser treatment called the LANAP protocol. LANAP provides a less painful, more successful treatment alternative to conventional surgery to treat periodontal (gum) disease and saves many teeth that were previously considered hopeless. Unlike traditional surgery that requires cutting and stitches, a laser light is used to gently remove harmful bacteria and diseased tissue from the gum pocket. This allows the body to heal naturally so that gum pockets improve and the teeth become more stable.

Our doctors and their team  of dental professionals enjoy hundreds of 5-star reviews on Google and Facebook – more than most other practices in the Valencia area.
