About Connect Periodontics and Implant Dentistry Brentwood

Connect Periodontics and Implant Dentistry Brentwood provides dental care on Wilshire Boulevard in the Sawtelle area of Los Angeles, California. Gum disease treatment ranges from a deeper professional cleaning for early inflammation through to more involved periodontal care once bone around the teeth has started to be affected. Bleeding gums are usually the earliest sign, and the early stage is reversible with proper cleaning and better daily plaque control.

Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.

A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.

Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

What services does Connect Periodontics and Implant Dentistry Brentwood offer?

What is scaling and root planing?
It is a deep cleaning that goes below the gumline to remove bacterial deposits from the root surfaces and smooth them so the gum can reattach. It is normally carried out under local anaesthetic, often over more than one appointment.
Is gum disease reversible?
The early stage, gingivitis, is reversible with thorough cleaning and better daily plaque control. Once it has progressed to periodontitis and bone around the teeth has been lost, that bone does not grow back — treatment then aims to halt further loss.
What happens during a routine dental examination?
The dentist checks the teeth for decay, examines the gums, looks at any existing fillings and crowns, and screens the soft tissues. X-rays are taken when there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth.

Wonderful, caring skilled and empathetic staff. Dr josh is also sweet compassionate and Very talented at what he does. We came to him with a very complicated situation and he has done a phenomenal job. I brought in a 91 year-old person and his situation was highly complicated. Dr josh was patient, kind, professionaland did a wonderful job in the dental work but also in the care of this senior.

I have the pleasure of being a patient of Dr. Josh Shayefar. He took the place of my prior dentist with whom I worked for over 30 years. To say that Dr. Shayefar is warm, instructive, caring, and gets to know his patients is an understatement. He makes one feel very comfortable in the chair, explaining the process of what’s happening, and understanding everything that’s going on. As difficult as “the dentist chair“ can be, Dr. Shayefar and his staff make you feel comfortable, always taking care to make sure you’re doing well, and minimizing any discomfort. Any fear of the dentist or the dentist chair is wiped away by the care, detail and focus of Dr. Shayefar’s practice and his staff. I could not recommend him more highly.

Working with Josh and his team was amazing. Josh is professional, efficient and insanely knowledgable. I cannot recommend him enough. I went in for a teeth cleaning as well as some really frustrating coffee stains on the front of my teeth. I told Josh exactly the areas that were bothering me and he had me leaving his office with the whitest teeth! Coffee stains are fully removed and my teeth and gums feel better than they ever have.

I asked chatGPT and Claude for the best dentist/periodontist in LA and Connect Periodontics was rated #1 and totally lived up to the hype! My cleaning was incredible - my teeth have never looked so white and perfect! The staff was personable and knowledgeable. I also really appreciated that they take delta dental and all dental insurance PPOs. Honestly they surpassed my expectations!

I I came to Dr. Shayefar’s office because I had a cracked tooth and was told I might need an extraction. From my very first phone call to schedule the appointment all the way through the actual extraction, my experience was amazing. Dr. Shayefar took his time explaining everything to me, answered all of my questions, and made sure I was 100% comfortable and clear about my decision before moving forward. I never felt rushed or pressured, which I really appreciated. The entire staff was also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and hospitable. They made what could have been a stressful experience feel easy and comfortable. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Shayefar and his team to anyone looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cares about his patients. I’m so glad I found this office!

You only need to know two periodontists in your life, Russ from Friends, and Dr. Shayefar! No need to go anywhere else! In all seriousness, I am glad that my dentist referred me to Connect Periodontics. I would describe Dr. Shayefar as a clinician who is adept and efficient with impeccable bedside manner. The procedure went very smoothly, and I truly didn't feel anything at all. His post procedure instruction was very clear to follow. I did not have any issue, and I returned to work the next day. I did not need any strong pain medication either, just ibuprofen was enough to manage the discomfort. His office staff is also very nice. Antoinette was very sweet and kind. She was really making sure I would get the medication I need, and dealt with my annoying pharmacy for me. I just finished my follow up visit with Dr. Shayefar, and everything healed wonderfully. I would recommend Dr. Shayefar to family and friends. I really hope I don't ever need to see Dr. Shayefar again as a patient, but if I do, I definitely will call his office and his office only! Thanks guys for everything!!!
