About LA Periodontics & Implant Specialists
LA Periodontics & Implant Specialists is a dental practice on Wilshire Boulevard in the Brentwood area of Los Angeles, California. Periodontics is the specialty focused on the gums and the bone supporting the teeth, handling more advanced gum disease, related surgical treatment, and — in many practices — dental implant placement, which sits naturally alongside that training.
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.
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.

Dr. Shahi & staff are exceptional!!! Very professional, kind and experienced team. I had a complicated case and LAPIS made my smile and gums look amazing afterward!!!
Dr. Shahi is fantastic and her staff is superb. They were like clockwork and Stephanie was truly helpful. I had three teeth removed yesterday with significant work on my gums. They were quick, efficient and the procedure was painless. This morning when I woke up, there was no pain. I did not use and will not need pain medication. In summary, I cannot recommend Dr. Shahi and her crew more highly. My only criticism is that I am an ex-Marine and I was going to use this procedure to demonstrate how tough I am and how I would withstand pain, without complaining. But since there was no pain I, have nothing to brag about. Your highly pleased patient, Tom A. Nunziato
Very honest, kind, and genuinely cares. Does great work and I 100% trust her. Couldn’t recommend more!
Excellent!!
Awarding five stars to LA Periodontics and Implant Specialists. Dr. Rana Shahi is excellent — very calming, caring, and reassuring. The entire team is highly professional and friendly. My experience in their hands inspired total confidence.
Simply put, Dr. Young is an incredible periodontist; she is a true gem. At my annual cleaning, my dentist noticed mild gum recession, likely exacerbated by braces and a tissue pull and recommended I find a periodontist. After doing some research, I found LA Perio and was immediately impressed by Dr. Young’s profile; her accolades preceded her. And, as a fellow USC Trojan, I knew I was in great hands. From my initial consult, Dr. Young calmed any qualms I had about the gum graft procedure. She took ample time to answer all of my questions, and even provided me tips to reduce recession between the consult and corrective surgery. On the day of the surgery, Dr. Young was attentive from start to finish. She spent time ensuring the area was completely numb and continuously checked in to ensure I was comfortable during the procedure (even asking if I wanted to take a break). A gum graft procedure is inherently not a fun experience by any means, but Dr. Young ensured as I was as comfortable as possible! She even called me on her day off, following the procedure, to check on my recovery and insisted I reach out at any time if I had questions or discomfort, which meant nothing less than the world to me!! My recovery was seamless and the graft looks incredible. I just had a final appointment with Dr. Young this morning, where she thoughtfully removed my sutures and walked me through what to expect over the next 1-3 months. And, she even cleaned my permanent retainer, substantiating her level of care. I could not be happier with the outcome of my graft. And, I highly recommend Dr. Young and the entire team at LA Perio! They are true professionals who will make you feel actually cared for from consult to follow up appointments. I will genuinely miss seeing the LA Perio team, and I’m afraid I will not see them again given how incredible Dr. Young’s work looks!!!
Words can’t express how grateful I am to Dr. Shahi and her incredible team. Two years ago, I walked into her office after losing a tooth (thanks to an unfortunate bagel!) and dealing with the aftermath of previous dental work that had left me not only missing a tooth, but also much of the surrounding gum tissue and wall. I felt overwhelmed and wasn’t sure if my smile could ever be restored. From the very first appointment, Dr. Shahi and her team treated me like family. Every step of the process was handled with so much kindness, patience, and attention to detail that I always knew I was in the best hands. The entire journey took nearly two years and included several surgeries, but somehow it never felt that long. I actually looked forward to every appointment because everyone in the office made me feel so welcome—they’ve truly become friends. Dr. Shahi performed each surgery with exceptional skill and compassion, making every procedure as comfortable and painless as possible. She always took the time to check in on me, answer my questions, and make sure I was doing well. The care I received went far beyond the dental work itself. I’m honestly a little sad that this journey has come to an end, but I’m incredibly thankful for everything Dr. Shahi and her team have done for me. They didn’t just restore my smile—they gave me my confidence back. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.
can't recommend Dr. Shahi's dental office highly enough! The entire experience is exceptional from the moment you walk in. The office has a warm, welcoming, and sophisticated atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease. Everyone on the team is friendly, polite, and genuinely cares about their patients. A special thank you to Maya, my dental hygienist. She is absolutely amazing! Maya is extremely knowledgeable, highly skilled, and incredibly thorough. She takes the time to explain everything, pays close attention to every detail, and always makes sure I'm comfortable throughout my visit. Her professionalism and expertise are truly outstanding. I actually drive from the other side of town just to see Maya because the quality of care she provides is well worth the trip. If you're looking for a dental office with exceptional service and a team that truly cares, I highly recommend Dr. Shahi's practice and especially Maya!
Doc and staff are very professional and friendly! I have been with them for 4 years! Highly recommend
a truly caring group of professionals. They offer clear explanations of dental work options, and are part of a broader group of equally top level dental care practitioners, resulting in a complete solution to your dental care...
Dr. Shahi is the best. She did my gum graft and the results are amazing. Also her front desk is the nicest and are always available for any changes I need to make.
Amazing place! Love all the stuff. It was really easy to book an appointment as they were flexible with time and scheduling. Definitely recommend for future periodontal needs!
