If your body develops a “broken gum seal,” bacteria can enter and cause local and systemic harm. The treatment your periodontist provides can restore gum health, reverse gum recession, prevent further damage, and reestablish an aesthetically pleasing and healthy appearance.
Gum Recession Overview
Often, people don’t recognize symptoms of gum disease until it has already damaged their tooth-supporting bone and the teeth have shifted or become loose. We offer Tacoma patients treatment to remove the infection and repair the affected areas.
Dr. Karbakhsch and Dr. Katafuchi can restore missing or damaged teeth with implants, rejuvenating your smile and giving you a fully functioning bite. We use high-grade components and advanced technology to make treatment faster, more reliable, and more comfortable.

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 extractions while maintaining and creating esthetics of your smile. While we are in the business of saving your teeth, extractions are often necessary to prevent the spread of infections and to recreate your oral and physical health.
Wisdom teeth are problematic for most teens and young adults. As these molars erupt from the gum line, they can cause pain, crowding, and other oral health complications. Our periodontists obtain a 3 dimensional x-ray (CBCT scan) prior to the time of examination and if suited, will perform gentle extraction under oral or IV-sedation.
If you are experiencing pain in your jaw, waking up tired, 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 non-invasive procedures.
