Dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They preserve bone density, prevent adjacent tooth damage, and offer a permanent solution for chewing and aesthetics. Ideal candidates include patients with sufficient bone structure and good oral health. The process involves consultation, extraction (if needed), implant placement, and crown attachment, ensuring natural function and appearance.

Gum grafts restore receded gum tissue to protect exposed tooth roots and improve aesthetics. Using tissue from the palate or synthetic materials, the procedure reduces sensitivity and prevents further bone loss. It is recommended for patients with thin or damaged gum tissue due to genetics, brushing habits, or periodontal disease. Recovery is typically quick, with minimal discomfort and long-lasting results.

Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone volume to support dental implants or address bone loss from tooth loss or trauma. Techniques include socket grafts, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentation using autogenous, allogenic, or synthetic materials. The procedure ensures a stable foundation for implants and restores facial structure. Healing takes 3-6 months, depending on the graft type and patient health.

Crown lengthening reshapes gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth, improving aesthetics or enabling restorative work. It is performed for patients with a 'gummy smile' or insufficient tooth structure for crowns. The procedure involves precise tissue removal and bone contouring, with recovery taking 1-2 weeks. Results enhance both function and smile appearance.

Laser dentistry treats gum disease and reshapes tissue with precision, minimizing bleeding and downtime. It targets bacteria and infected tissue while preserving healthy areas. Ideal for patients seeking faster healing and reduced discomfort, the treatment promotes gum reattachment and pocket reduction. Multiple sessions may be required for optimal outcomes.

Discomfort is minimal due to local anesthesia and advanced techniques. Most patients resume normal activities the next day with over-the-counter pain relief.

Healing typically takes 3-6 months, depending on the graft type and individual healing rates. Follow-up appointments ensure proper integration before implant placement.

Coverage varies by plan. Some procedures may be partially covered, while cosmetic treatments are often out-of-pocket. Our team assists in maximizing benefits and exploring financing options.

Most patients experience mild sensitivity and swelling for a few days. Soft foods and saltwater rinses are recommended, with full healing in 1-2 weeks.

Very rarely have I experience such care and compassion from a doctor/periodontist. I appreciate that Doctor Madison took his time with me, given that I was a nervous patient. He made sure that I was completely comfortable before he started my procedure. Because of Doctor Madison I have confidence in continuing and maintaining my dental work, something that I have been putting off for years. I am so happy with the major improvement on my teeth and I am so grateful to Doctor Madison. I highly recommend him.

From the prime location and easy parking to the friendly and helpful office staff and the state-of-the-art equipment and treatments, everything about BH Periodontal Institute is top notch. Not to mention Dr. Madison himself, who is skilled, knowledgable, patient and personable.

I am writing this review for Dr. Madison as I feel obliged to, given the outstanding care he has provided my family. My son, daughter and my father have all seen Dr. Madison over the past year and the more times our family has seen Dr. Madison, the more impressed I am with him. We are very grateful for the exceptional care, the great bedside manner and the attention to detail that Dr. Madison provides.

For my father, he was able to catch a serious infection in his tooth that his long-time dentist missed. For my son, he extracted a few teeth which he did so gently that my son didn't complain one bit. As for my daughter, her dentist had recommended adult teeth extraction, but we decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Madison. Dr. Madison said that she didn't need to have her teeth extracted and saved my daughter from major issues later in life. For these reasons, we 100% recommend Dr. Madison to anyone in need of a great Periodontist.

Dr. Madison is the BEST in the business. His staff is excellent and responsive, and Dr. Madison is extremely knowledgeable, reasonable, gentle, and thorough. The last two dentists I've seen have said that Dr. Madison is their no. 1 choice for a periodontist in Los Angeles.
