Escondido Periodontist

Gum disease is most often a slow, progressive infection that takes many years to evolve. Like high blood pressure, it is often “silent,” and you may not recognize that you have it. Over time, gum disease can create huge dental problems and require costly repairs. That’s why working with a dentist who has the education and experience necessary for the highest quality care is essential when you begin the treatment and repair process – and the team at Poway Perio can help.

Periodontics is a specialized field focused on treating gum and periodontal disease, one of the most common dental health issues. It is crucial to work with a periodontist who has the education and experience to provide the highest quality care for effective treatment and recovery. Our highly skilled team of periodontists in Escondido, including Dr. Alireza Khansari, Dr. Christine Tran, and Dr. Kent Akin, are equipped to fully assess and care for patients across the entire spectrum of periodontics. With years of experience, they are well-prepared to treat patients at all stages of periodontal disease.
