Protect Your Natural Teeth Before It's Too Late

Gum disease causes more tooth loss than cavities do. Most grown-ups who lose teeth lose them because their gums got sick first. The good news is we can stop gum problems before your teeth fall out. When we catch periodontal disease early, you get to keep all your real teeth.

We use gentle treatments that don't require surgery and really work. Our patients are always amazed at how easy and pain-free their visits are. These newer ways of treating gums work much better than old methods and help you feel normal again fast.

Our gentle gum treatments include:

  • Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing): We clean way down under your gums to remove bad germs and sticky buildup. Then we smooth your tooth roots, so germs can't stick to them anymore. Most people see their gums get pinker and healthier right away.

  • Laser Treatment: This technology only targets the sick parts of your gums and leaves the healthy parts alone. You'll have less pain, less bleeding, and heal much faster than with old-style treatments.

Your mouth connects to your whole body in amazing ways. When your gums stay healthy, it helps keep you safe from other serious health problems. Doctors have learned that sick gums can lead to heart problems and trouble with blood sugar. When we fix your gums, we're helping your whole body stay healthier.

We also offer other important services to make your smile complete:

  • Prevention: Regular cleanings and checkups to catch trouble before it starts

  • Surgery: Tooth removal, bone repair, and gum fixes when you really need them

  • Tooth Replacements: Strong implants that look and feel like your real teeth

  • Teaching: We explain everything clearly so you understand your choices

  • Insurance Help: We work with most plans to keep your costs low

Our patients love how we explain things in ways that make sense. You'll always know what we're doing and how it helps you.

Don't wait for gum problems to get worse and make you lose teeth. Call Progressive Periodontics & Implant Dentistry right now at 925-966-1686 (San Ramon) or 209-231-2851 (Turlock) to book your visit or request one online.

I had a very pleasant, professional and thorough initial consultation. A much better experience compared to another initial exam consultation I had at another San Ramon periodontist. I was presented with the LANAP option (the other office never mentioned it, probably because they don't have the equipment).

Best in the Bay Area

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley...

I am now 3 months after the surgery and amazed by the results!! My gums are not sore/swollen at all & do not bleed anymore! I had consulted and done treatment last year for an entire year with another dentist and they were unable to repair my gums. I have only heartfelt thanks for Dr. Kaeley for helping me repair my gums. Dr. Kaeley will check my pockets next year and I could require another round of LANAP depending on how deep the pockets are. Dr, Kaeley is very knowledgeable & experienced. I don't think there is another gum specialist here in the Bay area like her.

I used to be so deathly afraid to get a basic cleaning for my teeth because no matter how much I tell them to be gentle at other places (due to sensitive teeth), they don't seem to listen but when I started going here for my gum treatments, I always look forward to going now. Please go here if you need periodontics treatment because they are ABSOLUTELY the best.

Dr. Kaeley is awsome. I just had laser treatment (lanap) today and it went great. It was quick, painless. Dr. Kaeley was very patient with me and even joking during surgery. That made me to calm down little bit :). She explained everything what she was doing and she even called me in evening to ask how I am doing and if everything is ok. I recommend Dr. Kaeley to everyone.
