More about periodontics at this clinic

CENTER for Advanced Periodontal & Implant Therapy is at suite 718, 11620 Wilshire Boulevard in the Brentwood and Sawtelle area of West Los Angeles — a specialist periodontal and implant practice on the Wilshire corridor. These cases require the surgical precision and regenerative expertise that specialist periodontology and implantology training provides.

Gum disease treatment at specialist level means cases that have progressed beyond non-surgical management to require osseous surgery, flap procedures, or defect-specific regenerative approaches.

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Dental Implants focus in Los Angeles, with periodontics listed among 19 documented services.

Read full description

On North Larchmont Boulevard in the established Larchmont Village neighborhood of Los Angeles, the practice of Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS offers family and general dentistry with a solid restorative and cosmetic range. Routine cleanings and exams anchor the office, keeping patients on track with preventive care, and the practice is set up to move from everyday maintenance into more involved treatment without an immediate referral elsewhere.

The restorative side covers substantial ground. The team places dental implants, builds crowns and bridges, and provides root canal treatment along with dedicated endodontics to save teeth that are infected or damaged. CAD/CAM dental restorations support efficient, well-fitted restorations, which can shorten the path from problem to repair. Together these services let patients handle both missing teeth and compromised ones with a single familiar team rather than splitting care across providers.

Cosmetic dentistry gives the practice a second dimension. Teeth whitening brightens stained or dulled teeth, veneers reshape and refine the front of a smile, and broader cosmetic dentistry coordinates those changes into a plan that fits the patient's goals. Having cosmetic and general care in the same office lets patients pursue both the health and the appearance of their teeth together, and affordable dental care is listed for those weighing cost.

Because family dental care is part of the practice, the office suits parents bringing children alongside their own appointments, adults considering implants or crowns, and anyone wanting cosmetic refinement from a familiar provider in their own neighborhood. Emergency dentistry adds reassurance for the unexpected, a chipped tooth, a lost filling, or sudden pain. For Los Angeles residents in and around Larchmont Village who want dependable, wide-ranging care that blends preventive, restorative, and cosmetic services in one office, Dr. Arthur A. Kezian, DDS offers a grounded and well-rounded choice. The pairing of CAD/CAM restorations and implants with endodontics and crowns and bridges means problem teeth and missing ones can be handled by the same team, and with cosmetic and family care included, Dr. Kezian's Larchmont Boulevard practice gives the neighborhood a dependable, well-rounded home for everyday and more involved dental work alike.

Los Angeles practice known for dental implants, with Periodontics among 3 documented procedures.

Read full description

Based on Wilshire Boulevard in the Westlake area of Los Angeles, California, Perio Implant Health Professionals is a dental practice serving the area. 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.

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.

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. Contact details for Perio Implant Health Professionals are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

How to Choose a Dentist in Los Angeles

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 6, 2026Independently reviewed

Periodontics in Los Angeles is served by one of the largest DDS periodontist specialist communities in the United States — a city where UCLA's Section of Periodontics and USC's Division of Periodontology produce the graduates who anchor LA's extensive private periodontal specialty market, and where the FQHC-affiliated periodontal programs provide the safety-net access point for the city's most financially pressured patients with established gum disease. The LA periodontal market spans the fee-for-service Westside specialists who manage full-arch bone grafting, sinus elevation, and soft tissue regeneration cases at the highest surgical complexity tier, through the mid-market Valley and South Bay periodontists who provide the surgical and non-surgical scope for the commercially insured patient, to the Denti-Cal-participating practices whose periodontal therapy programs serve the city's most at-risk patient communities.

Smyleee evaluated Los Angeles periodontic providers on DDS periodontist board certification and fellowship training, full surgical and regenerative treatment range including bone grafting and sinus elevation, Denti-Cal and commercial insurance billing, maintenance recall program quality, and patient outcome consistency in terms of attachment preservation and long-term disease suppression. These ten Los Angeles practices are the periodontal providers the data confirmed as most reliably delivering specialist-quality periodontal management across the full demographic and economic range of the US's largest periodontal patient market.
