Santa Monica Periodontics & Implant Surgery

Laser Gum Surgery (LANAP) offers a minimally invasive solution for treating gum disease. Using advanced laser technology, this procedure removes infected tissue and bacteria with precision, promoting regeneration of healthy gum and bone tissue. Patients benefit from reduced discomfort, faster healing, and preserved tooth structure.

Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics. Titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone, integrating naturally to support crowns or dentures. This treatment prevents bone loss and offers a durable, long-term alternative to traditional bridges or dentures.

Gum grafting treats receding gums by reinforcing thinning tissue or exposed roots. This procedure improves gum aesthetics, reduces sensitivity, and prevents further recession. Techniques include connective tissue grafts and minimally invasive options like the VISTA technique for optimal patient comfort.

Periodontal therapy addresses all stages of gum disease, from non-surgical scaling and root planing to surgical interventions. The goal is to eliminate infection, reduce pocket depth, and restore gum health through personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs.

Bone grafting rebuilds jawbone structure lost to periodontal disease or tooth extraction. This procedure creates a stable foundation for dental implants by stimulating natural bone regeneration. Techniques include socket preservation and sinus augmentation to ensure long-term implant success.

I had my 6 month cleaning today with Luis. He was thorough and gentle from start to end. I've had cleanings done for many years by other great hygienist and now Luis is my go to guy! I had some sensitive areas and he applied fluoride varnish at the end that really helped. Thank you Luis.

Dr. Raschkovsky and staff are truly outstanding! I received a gum graft and I am absolutely loving the results. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. Dr Raschkovsky has a very calm demeanor and makes you feel very comfortable and at ease throughout and during the procedure. Thank you Dr. Raschkovsky and staff for a positive and wonderful experience.

I am singing the praises of Dr Raschkovsky and his incredible staff. I just had a horribly infected tooth extracted. It was a root canal/ crown that had been previously operated on for an infection by an inferior periodontist. Turns out, the infection had not been removed! We knew this tooth couldn't be saved and it needed to be pulled and have a bone graft and membrane placed for a later implant.

It was easy and I was SUPER anxious going in, due to my afore-mentioned debacle. Dr R numbed me fully and I didn't feel him administer the Novocain shots due to his fancy jiggle- the- lip while injecting style. My tooth was pulled the infection removed the bone and membrane placed all with great care. Dr R has a great chair side manner- calm, warm, present and professional. He is great as is his funny and friendly staff.

I was prepared to take something for my nerves but didn't need it. No one ever looks forward to an appointment for an extraction and bone graph, but let me say this - if you need to get it done, look no further than Dr Raschkovsky and his dream team!

Most thorough cleaning I have ever had. Thanks Luis for keeping my gums and teeth healthy! Staff is always welcoming and attentive. 10 star periodontist!
