(5-star rating from our smiling customers.)
Periodontics is the dental specialty focused on the health of the gums, bone, and soft tissue that support your teeth. A periodontist is a specialist who has completed three additional years of training beyond dental school specifically in the diagnosis and treatment of gum disease.
At United Nations Plaza Dental, you do not get a referral to an outside specialist. Dr. Asha Rani, our periodontist on staff, handles everything from gum disease treatment to gum grafting and crown lengthening in-house, coordinated directly with the rest of your care team.

1K+
Scaling and root planing, antibiotic therapy, and surgical options for all stages of gum disease from gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.
Rebuild receding gumlines with tissue grafting that covers exposed roots, reduces sensitivity, and protects the underlying bone from further damage.
Expose more of the natural tooth for a crown placement, cavity treatment, or to correct a gummy smile through precise gum and bone reshaping.
Ongoing specialized cleanings every 3 to 4 months to maintain gum health after treatment and prevent disease from progressing or returning.

Dr. Asha Rani, our periodontist, is in-house. No referrals, no coordinating between offices, no disruption to your care.

Research links untreated gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions. Your gum health is not just about your teeth.

Periodontal disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Early treatment and consistent maintenance are the most effective ways to keep your natural teeth.

Healthy gums and adequate bone are prerequisites for dental implants. Periodontal treatment handled in-house ensures patients are implant-ready when the time comes.
