“I received a gum graft done by Dr. Bakhsalian . He was very gentle and took good care of me from the beginning. The surgery was very quick and I am very satisfied with the result. I no longer have any reaction and the sensitivity I used to have is gone. ”

I know Dr. Neema since I was referred to Perio Clinic for getting 2 implants for my front teeth. I think he organized everything ahead of time and knew what he is going to go. The surgery was not painful or was actually painless. I was happy with the temporary teeth and after 3 months I got the final teeth and I like them. He is a caring and knowledgable clinician.

Dr. Neema performed a gum graft for me. The procedure was painless. My gum and teeth look really good and he fixed the gum recessions. My teeth were really sensitive and since he did the graft, the sensitivity is gone.
