For Patients
Specialist care, focused on you
Whether you’ve been told you have gum disease, you’re missing teeth, or you’ve simply been referred for specialist care, the goal is the same: to protect your natural teeth where possible, rebuild what’s been lost, and restore a healthy, confident smile — with care that’s thorough, gentle, and clearly explained.
Led by Dr. Sam Gilani, a UCLA-trained periodontist and oral plastic reconstructive surgeon, our practice focuses on the gums, the bone, and the foundation your smile depends on.
