Hi everyone, Im Doctor Sandra and Im a periodontist. Some of you may be wondering what in the world is a periodontist well Perry in Latin means around and dontis means the tooth. So, everything that has to do with the structure surrounding the tooth, thats really what a periodontist does. So, I take care of things such as gum disease which 70% of people today have some form of gum disease? Gum recession for example, A tooth that needs to be taken out or in place with an implant biopsy and making sure that the oral environment is healthy. So, I wanted to show you what really happens during gum disease. A periodontist uses something called a periodontal probe which actually has 369 millimeter and 12-millimeter measurements, to go around the tooth and measure if you have gum disease. What you see here is actually bacteria stuck on the tooth which causes, which causes bone loss right around there. Another thing that I do in my practice is dental implants and usually this is about 60 to 70% of my patients. You can lose a tooth due to fracture or cavities and then the best way to replace is our dental implant. So, do you have any questions for the periodontist? Please tweet me at DRSANDA Or go to my website at drsandamoldovan.com. Until next time, brush and floss twice a day.

The office staff is extremely friendly and helpful, Dr. Kanter is very knowledgeable and personable. She did a 3D scan which identified problems areas that are impossible to detect with the standard X-ray. Very happy with my visit and will be returning to the office and following up with a review post-procedure.

My name is Nikki Megami, I am a maxillofacial prosthodontist. As a maxillofacial prosthodontist, you do 4 extra years of training after post, after finishing dental school. You see patients from simple cases to patients with a lot of complex needs with history of trauma, history of cancer, different illnesses so you really deal with patients with a lot of head and neck issues. What I have learned from being among is to have lots of patience and I use that with my patients all the time. I have two kids. One is 8 and the other one is 10 years ago. What my patients value mostly about me, Is the fact that I listened to them. Every patient is unique, they have special needs thats unique to them, and I feel like you really have to make sure that those needs are met and communication discussion around those needs really allows for good treatment outcome. I used to teach full time at UCLA and because of my personal life and like to see treating more patients, I wanted to do more, incorporate more clinical practice into my career and hence I still like to teach. I still go to the university and I work with residents but Im primarily focusing on private practice. What I love about working in Beverly Hills, Dental Health and Wellness is to work with different people with different expertise and this way we can offer our patient the best treatment possible.

amazing experience here. Appreciate Dr Sanda and staff very much. After a bad titanium implant I seeked a second opinion and chose to get it removed and replaced with something more holistically in-tune with my body. Its been almost a month and feel like a different person.
