Fairfax Periodontal Group is a highly-regarded dental clinic specializing in periodontics and dental implants, located at 8260 Willow Oaks Corporate Dr Ste 525, Fairfax, VA 22031. The clinic is spearheaded by two distinguished board-certified periodontists, Dr. Khalid Choudhary and Dr. Joan Howanitz, both recognized as "Top Periodontists" by Washingtonian and Northern Virginia magazines. They boast decades of collective experience, having placed tens of thousands of dental implants. The practice provides comprehensive care for the supporting structures of teeth (gums and jawbone), addressing a wide range of conditions from early-stage gingivitis to advanced periodontitis and tooth loss. Their services encompass: Dental Implants: Offering state-of-the-art solutions for missing teeth, including traditional dental implants, All-on-4® Teeth in a Day, Zygoma implants for patients with significant bone loss, and metal-free ceramic implants. They utilize advanced digital treatment planning with 3D CBCT scans, hi-definition intraoral scans, and 3D printing for precise implant placement. Surgical and Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatments: This includes diagnosis and treatment of gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), pocket reduction surgery (gingival flap surgery), and laser periodontal therapy for minimally invasive treatment. Periodontal Plastic Surgery (Gum Grafts): Addressing gum recession with soft tissue grafts (from the roof of the mouth or donor tissue) to cover exposed roots, reduce further recession, and protect vulnerable teeth. They also perform crown lengthening procedures to recontour gum lines for aesthetic improvements. Advanced Ridge and Sinus Augmentations (Bone Grafting): Rebuilding lost or thinning jawbone, often necessary before dental implant placement or to address bone loss due to gum disease. They utilize various types of bone grafting materials, including autogenous (patient's own bone), allograft (human donor bone), alloplast (lab-made), and xenograft (animal-derived bone). Oral Pathology: Diagnostic services for oral conditions. Fairfax Periodontal Group is committed to utilizing cutting-edge technology, such as 3D cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, 3D printing, and lasers (including Waterlase for gentle gum recontouring and disinfection), to ensure optimal patient outcomes and comfort. They emphasize personalized, white-glove service, tailoring treatment plans to each patient's unique needs. Patient testimonials consistently highlight the professionalism, gentleness, and clear communication of Dr. Choudhary and Dr. Howanitz, as well as the attentive and friendly nature of their staff. The clinic aims to provide thorough health information, a comfortable treatment experience, and to exceed patient expectations at every visit. They also have a second location in North Bethesda, Maryland.
