Specialized Treatments
From advanced dental implants and periodontal therapy to bone regeneration and oral reconstruction, we provide specialized treatments designed to restore health, function, and confidence in every smile.
Gum disease is a chronic infection affecting the gums and supporting bone around teeth. It often develops silently, causing inflammation, recession, bone loss, and tooth instability before noticeable symptoms appear.
If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss and may contribute to broader health concerns. Early diagnosis and specialized treatment help preserve natural teeth and support long-term oral health.
As a UCLA-trained periodontist, Dr. Sam Gilani provides advanced diagnosis and treatment for all stages of gum disease. Using modern periodontal therapies and regenerative techniques, he helps preserve natural teeth, restore lost support, and protect long-term oral health.
Dental implants are advanced tooth replacement solutions designed to replace both the visible tooth and its root. They integrate with the jawbone to provide exceptional stability, function, and natural aesthetics.
Unlike dentures or bridges, implants help preserve bone structure and facial support while restoring confident chewing and speaking. They are considered the most reliable long-term solution for missing teeth.
With over 26,000 implants placed, Dr. Sam Gilani provides expert implant care backed by decades of surgical experience. Using advanced planning, and minimally invasive techniques, he creates strong foundations for durable, natural-looking results.
Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is severely damaged by infection, trauma, fracture, or advanced periodontal disease. Careful planning helps protect surrounding tissues and overall oral health.
Following extraction, the jawbone can begin shrinking rapidly. Bone preservation and grafting procedures help maintain bone volume, support facial structure, and create a strong foundation for future restoration.
Dr. Sam Gilani combines expertise in periodontics, implant dentistry, and oral reconstruction to manage complex extraction cases. Through advanced techniques, he preserves and rebuilds jawbone structure, supporting long-term oral health for future success.
Gum recession occurs when gum tissue gradually pulls away from the teeth, exposing vulnerable root surfaces. This can cause sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and increased risk of decay, bone loss, and tooth instability.
Although often overlooked, gum recession is a progressive condition that may worsen over time. Early treatment helps protect exposed roots, improve gum health, and preserve the long-term stability of natural teeth.
Dr. Sam Gilani specializes in advanced gum grafting and regenerative periodontal procedures. Using precise microsurgical techniques, he restores lost gum tissue, reduces sensitivity, protects exposed roots, and helps preserve the health and appearance of your natural smile.
Oral plastic surgery includes advanced periodontal and reconstructive procedures designed to restore the health, function, and appearance of the gums, bone, and supporting tissues around the teeth and dental implants.
These treatments may include gum grafting, bone regeneration, ridge augmentation, sinus lifts, and full-mouth reconstruction. Their goal is to rebuild lost tissue, preserve oral structures, and create a strong foundation for lasting dental health.

All-on-4® is an advanced full-arch dental implant solution that replaces an entire upper or lower set of teeth using just four strategically placed implants. Many patients leave with a functional temporary smile on the very same day.
This minimally invasive technique often eliminates the need for extensive bone grafting by maximizing existing jawbone support. It restores comfort, stability, chewing ability, and confidence while providing a reliable foundation for permanent teeth.
Dr. Sam Gilani provides personalized full-arch implant treatment using advanced digital planning and precise surgical techniques. He carefully evaluates each patient to determine candidacy, ensuring a comfortable procedure with long-lasting, and natural-looking results.
A sinus lift is a specialized bone grafting procedure that creates sufficient bone in the upper jaw for secure dental implant placement. It is recommended when natural bone height is inadequate due to tooth loss, trauma, or periodontal disease.
By gently lifting the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material, this procedure strengthens the jaw and creates a stable foundation for implants. It improves long-term implant success and expands treatment options for patients with limited bone.
Dr. Sam Gilani specializes in advanced sinus augmentation and bone regeneration procedures for complex implant cases. Using precise surgical techniques, he rebuilds the jawbone, creating the stable foundation needed for long-lasting dental implant success.
Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical periodontal treatment that removes plaque, tartar, and harmful bacteria from below the gumline. It helps reduce inflammation, eliminate infection, and encourage healthy gum reattachment.
This deep cleaning procedure is often the first step in treating gum disease and preventing further damage. When combined with ongoing periodontal care, it helps preserve natural teeth and reduce the need for more invasive treatment.
Dr. Sam Gilani provides comprehensive periodontal therapy using advanced non-surgical techniques tailored to each patient’s needs. Through meticulous scaling, and root planning, he helps control infection, and preserve the long-term health of your gums.
Periodontal regenerative therapy rebuilds bone and gum tissue damaged by advanced gum disease. Using modern regenerative techniques, it restores the supporting structures around teeth and helps preserve your natural smile.
When periodontal disease causes bone loss and deep gum pockets, regenerative procedures can reduce infection, encourage healing, and strengthen the foundation of your teeth. Early treatment improves long-term oral health and helps prevent tooth loss.
