While we strive to save your existing teeth whenever possible, our periodontists can restore missing or damaged teeth with dental implants. We frequently place Zirconia implants for patients with autoimmune disease, allergies, or simply those who prefer to be “metal free.”
If you develop a “broken gum seal,” bacteria can enter and cause local and systemic harm. Your periodontist can restore gum health and reverse gum recession. This restoration prevents further damage to your oral health and offers a healthy and young appearance.
You may not recognize symptoms of gum disease until you have bad breath, your teeth appear longer, gum disease damages your jaw bone and the teeth have shifted or have become loose. Our gentle targeted treatments remove the infection, repair the affected areas, and restore your health while rejuvenating your smile.

As a dentist myself, I take choosing a specialist VERY seriously. My dentist referred me to MK Perio and I had a gum graft surgery done. Dr. Karbakhsch is a perfectionist and did beautiful work. I can not more highly recommend a periodontist. -Lynn S.

Our periodontists perform gentle tooth removal while maintaining the integrity of your gums for your natural and beautiful smile. While our professional goal is to save your teeth whenever possible, extractions are often necessary to prevent the spread of infections and realize optimal whole-body wellness and energy.
Zirconia dental implants offer a metal-free, biocompatible option for replacing missing teeth. If you have metal allergies or sensitivities or prefer a holistic alternative to metal implants, we offer zirconia dental implants to meet your preference for holistic care.
If you are experiencing pain in your jaw, pressure behind your eyes, headaches that resonate from your temples, increased tooth pain, or you have noticed that your teeth are wearing down, you may be suffering from bruxism. Our periodontists can help diagnose and treat your condition with a variety of gentle and conservative procedures.
