Our Periodontal & Implant Dentistry Services

Washington Periodontics is a specialized periodontal practice. As a board-certified periodontist, Dr. Karapetian focuses on periodontal therapy and oral implant surgery. Our services include:

Deep Cleanings (Scaling & Root Planing)

We clear out stubborn plaque and bacteria trapped deep beneath your gumline. Then, we smooth out the tooth roots so inflamed tissue can heal and reattach. Our team provides deep cleanings for patients near Lorton, VA.

Gum Grafting

Gum recession can expose tooth roots, increasing the risk of decay and sensitivity. Serving Lorton, VA, we graft thin tissue over those areas to protect against decay and stop further recession.

Dental Implants

We place medical-grade titanium implant posts into the jaw to replace lost roots. For patients in and around Lorton, VA, implants provide a rock-solid base for crowns, bridges, or fixed full-arch dentures.

Bone Grafting

Serious gum disease or missing teeth can thin jawbone. We rebuild that lost structure so your mouth can support new implants and safely hold your nearby teeth in place. We welcome bone grafting patients from Lorton, VA.

Crown Lengthening

By carefully removing gum or bone tissue, we expose more of your natural tooth crown, which can treat a gummy smile or prepare the tooth for a crown restoration. We offer crown lengthening to patients near Lorton, VA.

All-On-4 Dental Implants

For individuals missing all their top or bottom teeth, all-on-four implants offer a comprehensive replacement option. For patients from Lorton, VA, we anchor a complete, natural-looking bridge using four strategically placed implants.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a doctor referral from Lorton to make an appointment?
No, a formal doctor referral is not required to schedule an evaluation at Washington Periodontics. While many general dentists in Lorton refer their patients to us for gum disease care and implant surgery, you are welcome to contact our office directly to book a visit.
Our office is about 6 to 9 miles north of central Lorton. The drive typically takes between 12 and 15 minutes driving up Pohick Road or Ox Road to Burke Centre Parkway.
Periodontists specialize in addressing the health of your supporting gums and jawbone. Dr. Karapetian completed three years of additional surgical training after dental school. Her additional education and many years of experience equip her to treat advanced gum disease, perform delicate tissue grafts, and place dental implants.
Gingivitis is early surface-level inflammation where gums bleed easily, but the bone holding your teeth is not affected. If untreated, it progresses into periodontitis. Periodontitis attacks the deeper bone structures and forms pockets where bacteria thrive. Catching and treating inflammation early prevents permanent bone damage and tooth loss.
Most dental insurance policies cover medically necessary periodontal care like deep cleanings and bone repairs. Coverage for dental implants is less frequent, and depends on the details of your plan. We review your insurance policy before treatment begins and submit claims on your behalf.
We use thoroughly tested local anesthetics to numb the area before treatment. After your visit, we provide clear home-care steps and mild medication guidelines to handle any minor soreness while you recover.
