Periodontal Treatment From Caring Providers Based in Downtown Los Angeles, CA
At Perio Implant Health Professionals, we specialize in providing a variety of surgical and non-surgical services for the treatment of periodontal issues. We pride ourselves on the fact that we are conservative in our treatment recommendations and limit surgery to the areas where it is absolutely necessary.
Many times, the early stages of periodontal disease are best treated with non-surgical periodontal therapy. Even in severe cases, non-surgical periodontal therapy often precedes surgical intervention. This is done to improve the overall tissue quality and to help limit the areas requiring surgery.
Who Needs Periodontal Treatment?
- Bleeding Gums. Gums that bleed when you brush or floss are often the first sign that inflammation has started.
- Swollen Gums. Healthy gums look pink and firm. Puffy, tender or dark red gums can point to an infection below the gumline.
- Receding Gums. Teeth that look longer than they used to may mean the gums are pulling away and exposing the roots.
- Loose Teeth. When gum disease reaches the bone, teeth can feel loose or start to move, and prompt care helps protect them.
- Bite Strain. Clenching, grinding or an uneven bite can put extra pressure on teeth and gums, and we can help ease that load.

Your Personal Plan
We explain what we found in plain words and recommend the most conservative treatment that fits your gum health and goals.
Step Three
Non-Surgical Therapy
Many patients start with scaling and root planing, which cleans below the gumline and often improves the tissue before any surgery is considered.
Step Four
Targeted Treatment
If deeper pockets remain, options such as LANAP or osseous surgery are limited to the areas that truly need them.
Step Five
Ongoing Maintenance
Regular follow-up visits let us track your progress and keep your gums stable over the long term.

Comprehensive Treatment for Periodontal Disease
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and root planing are integral non-surgical approaches to treat periodontal disease. Our team at Perio Implant Health Professionals expertly removes plaque and tartar buildup, smoothing root surfaces to promote healing and prevent future bacterial colonization. Experience comprehensive care with potential adjunctive therapies, such as localized antibiotics, to restore and maintain periodontal health.
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery targets advanced periodontal disease by reshaping the bone around teeth, reducing periodontal pockets, and halting bone loss. The goal is to create a healthier oral environment, reduce bacterial spread, and make home dental care more effective, leading to a more aesthetically pleasing appearance and better overall oral health.
LANAP
Eliminate gum disease and stimulate the regeneration of lost bone and tissue with the LANAP laser protocol performed by Dr. Rodriguez at Perio Implant Health Professionals. Contact our Downtown Los Angeles office today to schedule your consultation.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a precise surgical procedure aimed at correcting an overgrown or tight frenum, which can cause gum recession or gaps between teeth. By addressing these issues, this treatment can improve dental function, enhance orthodontic outcomes, and contribute to a healthier smile.
Bite Adjustment
A balanced bite is crucial for oral health. Perio Implant Health Professionals offers bite adjustment services to alleviate excessive pressure on your teeth, preventing wear and TMJ damage. Our personalized therapy may include reshaping biting surfaces, bite splint therapy, orthodontic adjustments, or restorative procedures to establish a harmonious, functional, and comfortable bite.
Bruxism Treatments
We understand the discomfort of bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching). Our tailored treatments, including custom-designed mouthguards and the innovative NTI-tss device, help mitigate the effects of teeth grinding and jaw clenching. Protect your gums, preserve tooth structure, and alleviate associated facial pain with our proactive and preventive bruxism solutions.

Will I need gum surgery?
Many patients do well with non-surgical therapy alone, especially in the early stages of gum disease. When surgery is helpful, we limit it to the specific areas that need it, and Dr. Rodriguez explains every option first.
Is periodontal treatment painful?
We numb the area with local anesthesia, so most patients feel only pressure during treatment. Sedation options are available if you feel anxious, and any tenderness afterward usually settles with simple home care.
Can gum disease come back after treatment?
Gum disease can return if plaque builds up again, which is why follow-up care matters. Regular maintenance visits and good daily brushing and flossing help keep your gums stable.
How much does periodontal treatment cost?
The cost depends on how much treatment you need and which procedures are part of your plan. Our team will walk you through the plan, explain your insurance benefits and share flexible financing options.
Can I get a second opinion on my gum treatment plan?
Yes, we offer complimentary second-opinion consultations. Dr. Rodriguez will review your gum health and talk through your options so you can decide with confidence.
