The specialty of periodontics is at the core of many of the most critical questions involving treatment planning and decision-making for a patient. Having a knowledgeable periodontist as part of the oral health team can help facilitate the best outcome for the patient.
As a periodontist, I strive to be the best I can be so I can deliver the highest quality care to the patients I serve and, most importantly, do so in a way that makes the person feel at ease and respected.
The fields of periodontics and dental implants are continually evolving. Dr. McCullough knows it is crucial to stay current on the latest advancements in order to provide the highest quality, evidence-based care to his patients.
Throughout the year, Dr. McCullough participates in numerous continuing education opportunities. This commitment to constantly furthering his education keeps him at the forefront of new diagnostics, techniques, and treatment approaches in implantology and periodontics.
Dr. McCullough is an active member of the Pacific Academy of Interdisciplinary Dentistry, a local study club, and a board member of the local Harbor Dental Society. Additionally, he is a lecturer at the UCLA School of Dentistry in the Periodontics section and active in the:
When hes not seeing patients, teaching, or researching the latest periodontics news, Dr. McCullough enjoys all that Southern California offers. He likes to stay active with hiking, as well as working out at the gym. At home, he enjoys playing the piano and guitar, and is an avid reader, too.
Dr. Yaghsezian is a well-rounded clinician. She is comfortable addressing all aspects of periodontics including traditional and cosmetic periodontal surgery and advanced regenerative techniques with a particular interest in implant placement, maintenance, and repair. Her extensive research in peri-implantitis has resulted in several publications and academic recognitions
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding experience every time you visit our practice.
I enjoy meeting new people, building relationships, and being a part of a positive experience in our office. We have very dedicated doctors and supportive team members who do whatever is needed to keep our patients comfortable during visits - this makes for a caring environment.
My primary role for our team is to review treatment plans and financial arrangements with patients. I also work hard to ensure all necessary communication with your primary dental and medical teams have been completed.
I love getting to know our patients! Being part of this team and working with our doctors is just as rewarding: we are more family than coworkers and are devoted to providing the best experience and results to our patient family.
I have been a part of the Los Al Perio team since 2018, but I have been a dental assistant for over ten years. All these years later, I am just as passionate and enthusiastic about dentistry as I was when I first began my career. I make sure to stay up to date with all of my certifications and I am currently in the process of continuing my dental education by obtaining my RDA license!
Outside the office, I enjoy spending time with my loved ones. I am a wife and a mom to two little ones. Theme parks are our favorite places to go; we also enjoy going to local parks in the summertime!

This Periodontist office is FULL of the most gentle people I have had the pleasure to meet. Dr. McCullough has the most gentle touch and manner, as does the rest of his staff. I have always had dental "phobias" but this office makes sure that you are comfortable in every way. I prefer going to this office than a general dentistry practice!

this office lacks transparency, I called and spoke to 3 different people before I actually see the periodontist and they all confirmed that they are part of delta dental ppo network. after my first visit when I noticed that the charges for my treatment plan a little high, I spoke with the insurance and they told me that this office is not in network, I called the office to verify, the person that spoke to me said literally that we are kinda in the network when I asked how she said we are in the process to exit the network by end of year (Dec 2022) . why don't you tell your patients this information a head and save your time and their time .

Dr. McCullough has an excellent bedside manner, very calming and reassuring. He also takes the time needed to answer any questions, putting your mind at ease. Along with his kind assistant, Dr. McCullough did extensive work on my gums. Dr. McCullough made this experience as comfortable as possible.

Dr. McCullough and his staff are top notch. In fact, he has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced with a doctor (medical OR dental). . .and that includes my own aunt (whom I adore and is also very good at what she does) who is also a dentist. Dr. McCullough is highly skilled, gentle, patient, respectful, empathetic, kind, and treats his patients with dignity. His front office staff and dental assistants are professional, gracious, and friendly. Together, they make a universally uncomfortable experience much more enjoyable. I really can't say enough good things about Dr. McCullough's practice. It's no wonder he graduated top of his class of an Ivy League school. HIGHLY impressed. 5 Stars.

This week I had another appointment at Los Al Periodontics, and again it was a very comfortable and pleasant experience. The entire staff is very knowledgable, professional, courteous, and friendly, providing thorough information, explaining and welcoming any questions regarding my treatment plan. I continue to be extremely confident in Dr Aline Yaghsezian, and know that she, and her entire team at Los Al Perio, are best for my treatment and care!
