About Contemporary Periodontics

Contemporary Periodontics is a dental practice on Graves Avenue in the West San Jose area of San Jose, 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.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.

Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

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 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.
Why do dentists take X-rays?
Decay between teeth and problems below the gumline are invisible to the naked eye, so X-rays are what reveal them. Modern digital images use a low dose and are taken only when clinically justified.

Dr Pham and his team are definitely the go-to folks that will take care of you in the true sense of the word. My dentist referred me to Dr. Pham for a specialist consultation. I’m glad I met Dr. Pham as he went over every single detail thoroughly to make sure I got all my questions answered. I even had questions later after the visit and yet his office responded in the same friendly manner as day one. All in all, this team is amazing and I’d highly recommend to everyone.

My mom had the LANAP surgery performed with Dr. Pham. I appreciated the time and care the doctor took to address all my mother's concerns before and after the procedure.

I was totally Blessed today by Dr Cooper & his assistant Jenny!!!!! I can’t show nor express enough how Thankful I am! I had a need for an ASAP appointment do to my root canal tooth, I called the office on Monday & Jenny got me in Wednesday, to be even more Thankful, Jenny called telling me that there was a cancellation for an earlier appointment if I wanted it & I said, yes! Wednesday morning on my appointment I was scared & nervous of what the outcome was going be. Jenny helped me & made me feel more at ease, when Dr Cooper came in the room, greeted me & started his professional dentist work on my tooth, then he took me an extra couple of miles of being great not only helping me with my issue I came in for, he also did a few extra procedures. Dr Cooper is up front & tell the patient straight forward what needs to be be done, explains step by step & shows the patient if needed. Generous, caring & helpful in taking me in for my urgent need. I grateful for finding Dr Cooper. He has been helping me now for a few years & remember’s me when I come to my appointment & does what I went in for plus more if needed. Thank you Dr Cooper & Jenny for getting me in so quick & getting me fixed up plus cleaning all on same day, I was to come in following day to do cleaning but I couldn’t so he offered to save me a trip & help clean them!!!! AWESOME!!!! THANK YOU!!!! Life saver!!!
