Why Periodontics & Oral Surgery Matter

Gum disease (periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults, but it often goes unnoticed until it’s advanced. Likewise, infected teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or bone loss may require surgical attention to avoid long-term damage.

Treating these problems early protects:

  • Your teeth and jawbone
  • Your ability to chew and speak comfortably
  • Your overall health (gum disease is linked to heart disease and diabetes)


At InStyle Dental, we combine conservative treatments with surgical precision to keep your mouth healthy, whether you’re dealing with a chronic issue or an urgent concern.

What to Expect at InStyle Dental

Your comfort and safety come first. Here’s how we handle periodontal and oral surgery care:

  1. Thorough Exam & Imaging
    We begin with digital X-rays and a periodontal charting to assess bone loss, pocket depth, and overall gum health.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan
    Depending on your needs, we may recommend deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), oral surgery, or implant preparation.
  3. In-Office Procedures
    Most treatments—including extractions, gum therapy, or bone grafting—are done comfortably in our San Gabriel office with local anesthesia and sedation if needed.
  4. Gentle Aftercare & Follow-Ups
    We provide clear at-home instructions and check on your healing progress to ensure long-lasting results.

The Link Between Gum Health & Whole-Body Wellness

According to the American Academy of Periodontology and the CDC, gum disease is linked to several chronic health conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and complications from diabetes. Inflammation in the gums may raise overall inflammation in the body.

Periodontal treatment supports your oral health and your general wellness – especially if you have risk factors like smoking, diabetes, or a family history of gum disease.

Who Needs Periodontics or Oral Surgery

You may need to see a periodontist or oral surgeon if:

  • You have red, swollen, or bleeding gums
  • Your teeth feel loose or shift over time
  • You’re preparing for a dental implant
  • You need a tooth or wisdom tooth removed
  • You have bone loss or a receding gumline


How often? 
Routine cleanings and checkups every 6 months help catch problems early. If you have gum disease, you may need more frequent visits or maintenance cleanings every 3–4 months. 

At-Home Tips Between Visits

To extend the life of your dental crown: 

  • Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste 
  • Floss gently around the crown base 
  • Avoid chewing hard foods like ice or nuts 
  • Wear a mouthguard if you grind your teeth 
  • Visit InStyle Dental as directed for exams and cleanings

ShapeDeep Cleanings, Gum Treatments, and More

We offer advanced non-surgical and surgical options for gum health, including:

  • Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning): Removes plaque and bacteria below the gumline
  • Antibiotic Therapy: Reduces infection and inflammation in gum pockets
  • Crown Lengthening: Prepares teeth for crowns or improves gummy smiles
  • Bone Grafting: Rebuilds jawbone for implants or after tooth loss
  • Periodontal Maintenance: Ongoing cleanings to keep gum disease from returning

Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Teeth Removal

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged to save, or it may be causing overcrowding or infection. We offer:

  • Simple Extractions for teeth that can be removed easily
  • Surgical Extractions for impacted teeth or those below the gumline
  • Wisdom Teeth Removal to prevent pain, crowding, or infection


Dr. Kar and our team make sure your extraction is gentle, your healing is smooth, and your comfort is a priority.

Preparing for Dental Implants or Oral Surgery

If you’re planning to replace a missing tooth with an implant, we may need to prepare your mouth first through:

  • Bone grafting to restore jaw volume
  • Sinus lifts if upper bone levels are too low
  • Gum reshaping for proper implant support


These procedures help ensure your implant success and protect surrounding teeth and tissue.
