If you are experiencing bleeding gums, gum recession, loose teeth, chronic bad breath, jawbone loss, or missing teeth, these may be signs of periodontal disease or other underlying oral health concerns. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating gum disease at every stage while helping patients restore both the health and appearance of their smiles.
We understand many patients feel anxious about visiting the dentist, especially when they have been struggling with dental issues for years. Here is what sets our care apart.
Periodontal disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, yet many patients do not realize they have it. We focus on early diagnosis and preventive care designed to protect your gums, teeth, and overall health.
Every treatment plan is customized to the patient’s unique needs, goals, and oral health condition. We take the time to thoroughly evaluate your concerns and explain all available treatment options.
Our practice uses advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques to improve precision, reduce discomfort, and help patients heal more comfortably.
Our office was designed to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel comfortable and supported throughout every stage of care.
We also offer sedation dentistry options for patients who want a more relaxed experience during treatment.
Patient education is a major part of our philosophy. We believe informed patients make more confident decisions about their health.

Missing teeth can affect much more than your smile. Tooth loss can impact your confidence, chewing ability, speech, and jawbone health. At Shining Smiles Periodontics, we provide advanced dental implant solutions that look natural, feel secure, and are built for long-term function.
Dr. Alex Mehraban uses advanced digital diagnostics and precise treatment planning to help patients replace one, several, or all missing teeth with dental implants. Whether you need a single implant or a more comprehensive full-mouth restoration, our goal is to create results that restore both comfort and confidence.
Dental implants are one of the most reliable and long-lasting tooth replacement options available today because they integrate directly with the jawbone, helping preserve bone structure and support long-term oral health.

Reviews from real patients who trusted us with their smile.
“I had been hiding my smile for years and avoiding photos altogether. From the very first consultation, Dr. Mehraban and the team walked me through every option without any pressure — they answered questions I didn't even know I had. The implant process turned out to be far more manageable than I'd feared, and the staff checked in on me at every step. The result is honestly life-changing. I smile in photos again, I eat the foods I love, and friends keep telling me how much younger I look. I only wish I'd come in years sooner.”
“My general dentist told me I had advanced gum disease and I was terrified — I assumed I was going to lose my teeth. The deep cleaning and follow-up visits here were painless and surprisingly quick. Dr. Mehraban took the time to show me my X-rays, explain what was happening below the gum line, and lay out a clear plan to bring everything back into healthy ranges. My numbers improved dramatically within just a few months. For the first time I actually understand how to care for my gums, and I no longer dread my hygiene appointments.”
“I came in for tooth sensitivity from receding gums and left with a gentle, modern graft and a clear plan. The doctor and assistants explained the procedure step by step, used techniques that minimized discomfort, and checked in with me the next day to see how I was healing. The sensitivity is gone, my gum line looks healthy and even, and the recovery was so much easier than anything I'd read about online. So grateful I found this practice.”

A periodontist is a dental specialist who has completed three additional years of training beyond dental school in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Your general dentist focuses on overall oral health; we focus specifically on the supporting structures of your teeth.
Common signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums, gums that pull away from your teeth, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or changes in your bite. Gum disease is often painless in early stages, which is why a periodontal evaluation is so important if anything feels different.
Most periodontal treatments are very well tolerated. We use local anesthesia, gentle techniques, and offer sedation options for patients who feel anxious. Many patients tell us the procedure was easier than they expected.
With proper care and routine maintenance, dental implants can last decades — often a lifetime. The key is healthy gums and bone around the implant, which is exactly the area we specialize in.
Many dental insurance plans cover periodontal therapy, and some cover a portion of implant treatment. Our team will verify your benefits in advance, walk you through your estimated coverage, and present financing options if needed.
No. Many of our patients are referred by their general dentist, but you are welcome to schedule a consultation directly with us at any time.
Your first visit usually includes a friendly welcome, a review of your medical and dental history, a comprehensive periodontal exam with 3D imaging if needed, and a discussion of findings and recommended next steps. You will never be pressured into treatment.
Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled brush, clean between your teeth daily, avoid tobacco, eat a balanced diet, and keep your professional cleanings on schedule. We will also coach you on techniques tailored to your mouth.
