Experience and Training You Can Trust


We are well known in the Greater Pittsburgh dental community for our excellence in periodontal procedures and implant placement. We see patients not only from our community, North Hills and Pittsburgh, but also patients who travel substantial distances for advanced treatments and our non-surgical periodontal disease treatment.

Dr. Bakuri is uniquely trained in an interdisciplinary approach to periodontics, which takes into account all dental issues. This gives him the background to fully understand and resolve even the most challenging needs of a patient.

State-of-the-Art Dental Implant Treatment


Our office was one of the first to provide dental implant services in the Pittsburgh area, and we have been at the forefront of the latest implant technologies ever since. We use a state-of-the-art cone beam CT scanner to take 3D X-rays. This allows Dr. Bakuri to view your teeth and jaw area in a 360-degree view. He then uses special software to plan the implant surgery ahead of time, making your surgery efficient and preventing any surprises.

Our CT scanner gives Dr. Bakuri a detailed look at your teeth and jaw.

Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment With the Perioscope


We are one of the only practices in the Greater Pittsburgh area that can treat severe gum disease completely non-surgically using a special periodontal device called the Perioscope. This state-of-the-art periodontal treatment is non-invasive, and it is an effective alternative to traditional treatment of moderate and severe periodontitis.

Non-Surgical Gum Disease Treatment

The Perioscope allows us to see and remove bacterial contaminations that were previously only visible via surgery.

Who Should Visit a Periodontist?

No referral is needed to visit our office.

Patients come to us directly for their gum and dental implant needs or are referred to us by their general dentist. We can help patients with moderate to severe gum disease and provide cosmetic gum treatment. We can also handle all manner of implant procedures, from replacing one tooth to a full mouth of teeth using implants.

Patients choose to come to us for our advanced knowledge, training and experience in our area of focus, as well as for the peace of mind it gives them.

Nationally Recognized Leaders in Preventive Treatment for Gum Disease

We are nationally recognized leaders in providing preventative gum disease care. Dr. Bakuri is frequently asked to lecture on the subject, and we also host other dentists and hygienists in our practice so they can observe our preventive techniques.

Preventive services are one of the keynotes of our practice. We believe the best treatment for our patients is no treatment if at all possible. All our gum disease programs begin with an in-depth evaluation of the extent of the gum disease, extensive education and a custom home care program to help combat the disease. Along with our effective, non-surgical treatment, this can often prevent gum disease from becoming more severe, avoiding bone loss and other repercussions.
