Comprehensive Periodontal Services in Torrance
Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy mouth—and a beautiful smile. At Precision Periodontal and Implant Center, we offer comprehensive, state-of-the-art periodontal care tailored to your unique needs:
- Gum Disease Treatment: Gum disease (periodontitis) is a leading cause of tooth loss. Left untreated, it can cause gum recession, bone deterioration, and serious health complications. We provide advanced treatments such as scaling and root planing, pocket reduction surgery (osseous surgery), and regenerative procedures to restore gum health and stop disease progression.
- Dental Implants: Missing teeth? Dental implants offer a natural-looking, long-lasting solution. Dr. Ivanov is a specialist in all forms of implant placement, from single-tooth implants to full-arch All-on-X restorations and implant-supported overdentures. With digital imaging and computer-guided surgery, we ensure precision, safety, and outstanding results.
- Advanced bone grafting and Sinus Lifts: If you lack sufficient bone to support implants, advanced bone grafting and sinus lift procedures can restore your jawbone’s volume and strength to allow for stable, successful implant placement.
- Gum Grafting: Gum recession can expose tooth roots, cause sensitivity, and impact your smile’s appearance. Our gum grafting procedures rebuild your natural gum line for both health and aesthetics.
- Crown Lengthening: For patients with excessive gum tissue or teeth that are too short for proper restoration, crown lengthening reshapes the gums and bone to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This procedure can also enhance the appearance of a “gummy” smile.
- Sedation Options: Dental anxiety should never be a barrier to care. Precision Periodontal and Implant Center offers both Oral Conscious Sedation and IV Deep Sedation to keep you relaxed and comfortable during treatment.
- Prioritizing Your Comfort: Our friendly environment and available sedation methods are designed to deliver a calm, pleasant, and easygoing experience.

Why Gum Recession Happens
There isn’t one single cause of gum recession—it usually develops from a combination of factors. Common contributors include:
Periodontal Disease
Gum infection that destroys the supporting tissues and bone.
Aggressive Brushing
Brushing too hard or with a stiff-bristled toothbrush can wear away gum tissue.
Genetics
Some people naturally have thinner gum tissue, making them more vulnerable.
Orthodontics or Misalignment
Teeth that don’t fit together properly can place stress on gums.
Grinding or Clenching
Excess pressure on teeth may contribute to gum loss.
Tobacco Use
Smoking or chewing tobacco reduces blood flow and healing ability.
Whatever the cause, gum recession should never be ignored. Early treatment can protect your teeth from further complications.

The Risks of Untreated Gum Recession
Exposed tooth roots are not just a cosmetic concern. Left untreated, gum recession can lead to:
Increased tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
Higher risk of cavities on the exposed roots
Progressive bone loss around the affected teeth
Loosening and eventual loss of teeth
An uneven smile that impacts appearance and confidence
Treatment is about more than aesthetics—it’s about protecting your long-term oral health.
