About Malek Periodontics

Malek Periodontics provides dental care on North 51st Avenue in Glendale, Arizona. 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.

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.

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. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list.

When should I see a periodontist instead of a general dentist?
Usually on referral, when gum disease has advanced beyond what routine treatment is resolving — deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, or gum recession needing surgical management.
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.
Can gum disease make you lose teeth?
Yes — advanced gum disease is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. It destroys the bone and fibres holding teeth in place, which is why teeth eventually loosen, and it usually progresses without pain.

My initial consultation with Dr. Malek went very well. She's thorough and respectfully blunt. While waiting I observed the numerous awards and donations on her walls. She seems to me like real hip Dr..lol. Today, 10-9-26 was my first deep cleaning with Dr. Brett. He was awesome that's how I can best describe him. Attentive with all my questions and his thorough explanation of what to expect with today's cleaning, put me at ease!! Was amazing cleaning went super well. And it's been 6 hrs ago and my gums and teeth feel great. No soreness yet but will follow his advice to the T. Looking forward to completing and moving forward with my periodontal care. Plus the staff are great too. Im so glad my Dentist referred me here. Relieved, Esther M. Cota

Dr. Malek is top tier service! True professional, knowledgeable, expert in her field. She communicates well and surgically repaired my gums to fix my root exposure. I have zero complaints. Great pricing and overall a great experience.

I am so impressed by the level of care and support I received today. From start to finish, everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and compassionate. We have a great plan of action in place, and I am looking forward to putting that plan into motion and seeing the progress we make in September.

Incredible experience! I had to get a lower gum graft before I could get braces, and the team here took amazing care of me. They made a stressful procedure feel super easy and straightforward. The graft integrated beautifully and looks so healthy. I just got the official green light for my braces and couldn't be happier with the results. 10/10 recommend this office for any dental surgery needs!

I had extreme recession on my front tooth and had to get a gum graft done at Malek Periodontics. The entire process went smoothly, all members of the staff were kind and knowledgeable, and the results were better than I could’ve imagined. So grateful for everyone at Malek Periodontics!

I have known Dr. Malek for more than 15 years and have always been impressed by her professionalism, expertise, and dedication to patient care. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and meticulous in her work, consistently demonstrating outstanding skill and attention to detail. As a fellow dental professional, I confidently refer my own patients to her for periodontal procedures, knowing they will receive the highest standard of care. Dr. Malek genuinely cares about both her patients and the quality of her work. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking an experienced and compassionate periodontist!

Avoid at all costs. I strongly DO NOT recommend Malek Periodontics or Dr. Tannaz Malekzadeh. I had a very difficult and traumatic experience, and I strongly caution anyone considering going there. I trusted my dentist’s referral and truly regret not reading the negative reviews beforehand. I went in for a dental implant, and based on imaging and clinical evaluation, it should have been clear whether the tooth could be fully extracted. Instead, after nearly two hours of surgery, the extraction was not completed TWO ROOTS were left inside my jaw. I was stitched up and told to return in 10 days to “try again.” Completely unacceptable. Before leaving, I asked if the roots would be removable at that time. The doctor didn’t even come speak to me—she answered from down the hallway through an assistant, saying there was “no concern.” That level of detachment says everything about how patients are treated. It got worse after I left. I was still actively bleeding. When I checked my mouth, I saw that the gum around a nearby tooth had been cut open, the root exposed, and the bleeding would not stop. I was in shock, crying in my car, completely traumatized. Within hours, my husband found an oral surgeon, who properly addressed the situation and fixed everything she failed to do. I had to undergo another surgery under general anesthesia to complete the extraction and repair the damage at roughly half the cost. What’s even more concerning is that there was no follow-up, no concern, nothing. The only time she called was after my husband demanded a full refund. At that point, she acted like she didn’t even know what had happened and asked why I didn’t come back to her—unbelievable. A responsible doctor would have recognized the limits of the case and referred appropriately from the beginning, not attempt a procedure they couldn’t complete. This was one of the most painful, stressful, and poorly managed dental experiences I’ve ever had. I felt rushed, dismissed, and completely uncared for as a patient.

Dr Malek is a very caring doctor and spends time explaining what needs to be done and why; then does an excellent job and with very little discomfort Her staff is also very pleasant and helpful; spending a great deal of time explaining and answering questions concerning post operative things to do and not to do. I strongly recommend Malek Periodonics.

From the moment I first visited the office, I was impressed by the exceptional team. Their communication, and outstanding customer service. Dr. Malek herself is a rare pearl in a vast sea. She is remarkable when it comes to bone grafts, gum grafts, and dental implants. I previously had a dental implant done by another provider that did not turn out well, and the experience was extremely traumatizing. Naturally, the idea of redoing the implant made me very nervous. However, Dr. Malek’s skill made all the difference. My recovery after her procedures was minimal—typically just one to two days of mild soreness without bruising. After a 48-hour rest period, I was even able to speak with minimal pain. I love how she talks through each step of the procedure, which helped ease my anxiety and eliminated the fear of unexpected instruments or sounds. Dr. Malek is exceptionally patient, especially during surgical procedures. She is honest, transparent, and straightforward—qualities that are invaluable in a healthcare professional. Her dedication extends beyond the office as well; her postoperative follow-ups are something many dentists simply do not do. She has reached out even after business hours to ensure I was healing properly and to answer any questions I had. I sincerely appreciate the care, skill, and effort Dr. Malek has put into restoring my oral health and correcting previous complications. I won’t ever see another dentist in regards surgically or cosmetic procedures. I would also like to highlight Dr. Malek’s assistant, Vanessa, who has been incredible throughout all of my procedures. Before my first surgery, I shared that I struggle with severe dental anxiety, and she immediately offered comfort—even giving me two tooth-shaped stress balls to help me stay calm. Vanessa consistently greeted me with warmth, reassured me during multiple surgeries, and ensured I felt safe and comfortable at every step. This dental office has truly made an extraordinary difference, and I am deeply grateful for Dr Malek and her team.
