We take pride in having a Gum Specialist / Periodontist / Implant Surgeon on staff. Meet Dr. Ahmad Hawasli, DDS, our Gainesville, VA Periodontist & Implant Specialist.

​

Periodontics is the dental specialty that involves the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the gum tissue, surrounding tissue and the bone surrounding teeth and dental implants. It also involves the maintenance of the health, function and esthetics of these structures, tissues and dental implants. 

Over 75% of Americans age 35 and over have some form of gum disease, a result of poor dental hygiene and the resulting build-up of plaque. One of the warning signs of gum disease is your gums may swell and bleed easily. If left untreated, you might lose your teeth. One of the first steps to keeping your teeth healthy is to start with keeping your gums clean A way to avoid the risk of getting gum disease is to pay attention to everyday oral hygiene (brushing and flossing), as well as having professional cleanings twice a year. If you have gum disease, Dr. Adi will identify it during your routine dental exam and recommend the best treatment for the level of severity.
