Periodontist in Beverly Hills
A periodontist is the dental specialist for the gums, the bone that supports your teeth, and dental implants. If you’ve been referred for specialist care — or you’re dealing with bleeding gums, gum recession, loose teeth, or missing teeth — our Beverly Hills practice is led by Dr. Sam Gilani, a UCLA-trained periodontist and oral plastic reconstructive surgeon with over 30 years of experience.
The focus is straightforward: protect your natural teeth wherever possible, rebuild what has been lost, and restore a healthy, comfortable smile — using minimally invasive, patient-centered techniques and working in step with your general dentist.

Learn more →Why choose Dr. Gilani
Dr. Gilani brings a Master’s in Oral Biology, specialty training in Periodontics, and decades teaching and lecturing on periodontal surgery, implant reconstruction, and bone grafting. That depth matters most in difficult cases — severe periodontal disease, significant bone loss, failing teeth, and patients who may have been told their situation was hopeless elsewhere.
For patients, that translates into careful diagnosis, honest options explained in plain language, and a calm, conservative approach that prioritizes long-term health and natural-looking results. Meet Dr. Gilani →
