About Modern Periodontics

Modern Periodontics provides dental care on R G Skinner Parkway in the Southside area of Jacksonville, Florida. 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.

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.

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

Do periodontists place dental implants?
Many do, since implant placement sits naturally alongside their training in the gum and bone that support teeth. Whether a specific practice offers it is worth confirming directly.
Can a periodontist save a loose tooth?
Sometimes. If the looseness comes from bone loss around the tooth, deep cleaning and periodontal treatment can stabilise it, though the outcome depends on how much support has already been lost.
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.

I had a tooth's removed and bone graft put in. It took a little over an hour, but it seemed like 5 minutes because I was put under. Today is the day after and I’ve had minimal swelling and almost non-existent pain. I took an ibuprofen a few hours after the surgery in anticipation, but I haven’t taken one since. The wife and I even went out for lunch today. The periodontist was awesome and the dental assistants were friendly and knowledgeable. I’ve been with Modern Periodontics for maybe two years now, and they have done a great job.

I am very pleased with the services I received from Modern Periodontics. Dr Pasieta and his staff made extraction of one of my teeth as painless as possible. They were very knowledgeable and explained the procedure in terms that I could understand. This was helpful as I was apprehensive about having a tooth pulled but everything went great and I walked away a happy camper.

Amazing service to get you in the door .... I was confident in doctors abilities. However, you need staff willing to listen to the patient and contact the insurance company. Not just send them the insurance company the information that was already denied. You have to contact them see specifically what they want from YOU .... Don't have me call and do the job you are being paid for. I tried to kindly explain to office rep and office rep was speaking over me.... I have extensive work needed and if one procedure is this much effort I surely dont want to go through this conversation again. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result. Don't just send the same thing to the insurance company do the footwork you are being paid thousands for the extra effort.

Everyone was so nice and very helpful. Dr. Pasieta listened to my concerns as I have special needs and made my tooth extracting as smooth as possible. I highly recommend Modern Periodontics and Dr. Pasieta. For the Doctor to give you his personal cellphone number so you can call him with any questions or concerns is very rare now a days and I appreciated that very much.

I was a nervous about the procedure however, everything was explained again and I felt more relaxed and confident. Dr Kuznia is a great dental surgeon! This was my second procedure performed by her and everything went extremely well . I would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Kudos also to her staff and thank you Ms Loretta!!

Showed up twenty minutes early for my appointment and the door is locked with the blinds drawn. No answer when I knocked and no answer when I called the number on Google maps or the number on the building. I received an appointment reminder of the time this morning, but no email with more details so I could double check the address. It is very frustrating to add more stress to a stressful appointment that I'll have to do a second time. Editing to add that they scheduled me at a location an hour away from my house and not the Southside location I requested on their online portal
