The Team Behind Your Periodontal Care
Great periodontal and implant outcomes depend on more than one doctor — they depend on an experienced team. Our hygienists and coordinators work alongside Dr. Zakaria to make sure every visit is comfortable, well-organized, and focused on your long-term oral health.
Request an AppointmentExperienced, Specialty-Trained Hygienists
Periodontal hygiene requires a different skill set than a general cleaning. Our hygienists are trained specifically in periodontal maintenance, working closely with Dr. Zakaria to monitor gum health between procedures, support patients through scaling and root planing, and help prevent gum disease from progressing.
Coordinated Care From Consultation to Recovery
Our team helps guide you through every stage of treatment, from your first visit as a new patient, to reviewing payment options, to walking you through pre-operative and post-operative instructions for procedures like gum grafting and dental implant placement. We also stay in close contact with your referring general dentist throughout treatment.
A Comfortable Experience
We know that periodontal and implant procedures can feel intimidating, especially for patients dealing with dental anxiety. Our staff is trained to help patients feel at ease, answer questions in plain language, and make sure nothing about your treatment plan feels like a surprise.
