A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in prevention, diagnosis and treatment of periodontal diseases. A periodontist also places and maintains dental implants. Periodontics is an entire branch of dentistry dedicated to studying the tissue surrounding the teeth, researching new techniques for treating periodontal diseases, treating gum defects through periodontal plastic surgery and replacing lost teeth with dental implants.
LANAP stands for Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure. The first and only FDA cleared laser surgery to treat gum disease that is backed by both clinical and laboratory research. This remarkable surgical protocol allows for targeted removal of diseased gum tissue, while leaving your body's own healthy tissues intact.
Periodontal diseases are infections of the gums, which gradually destroy the support of your natural teeth. There are numerous disease entities requiring different treatment approaches. Dental plaque is the primary cause of gum disease in genetically susceptible individuals. Daily brushing and flossing will prevent most periodontal conditions.
These procedures are a predictable way to cover unsightly, sensitive or exposed root surfaces and to prevent future gum recession. They are also used to create an even appearance of your teeth. They can be preformed prior to having crowns or laminates place on your front teeth. When recession of the gingiva occurs, the area loses a natural defense against both bacterial penetration and trauma.

I had two dental implants done 12 years ago at a different place in Westfield. This past year, my dentist told me upon an examination that I need to find a periodontist because there was a big space between my gum line and bone (indicating infection and bone wearing away). He recommended Dr. Galiano to me and I am so glad that he did. I was upset and nervous during the appointment (I have had other issues with my implants over the years and take VERY good care of my teeth and this has been a nightmare for me as they are two teeth right in the front when I smile). During my initial visit he answered

Dr. Galiano is an excellent periodontist. I had a tooth extracted and replaced with implant. He took the time to explain every procedure he was doing. The office staff are also very helpful, caring, checking up the following day to make sure I was not experiencing any discomfort. I would definitely recommend him!

I had a great experience with Dr. Galiano. He came highly recommended for the dental implant I needed and now I understand why. He has tons of experience in this area and is very responsive to questions, in the after-care phase, etc. Everyone in the office was very professional in their interactions with me. I was very happy with the both the experience and the results.

As far as Periodontists go, Dr. Galiano and his office are truly the best in the business. From the moment you enter his office, he and his team treat you with the utmost care and concern. The office is immaculate, with all of the modern amenities you'd want from your doctor. After a tenuous tooth extraction and subsequent follow-up care, I can say this guy has magic hands and is probably the most thorough doctor of any I've seen.....for any ailment. I highly recommend Dr. Galiano and his team. I assure you, you'll be just as pleased!!

For most of my life I was terrified of the dentist let alone getting an implant until I met Dr. Galiano. Over the past 2 years I had 2 implants completed and he took the time to put me at ease, go through the procedure and explain exactly what he was going to do and how it would play out. I could not be happier with the results and would recommend him to anyone. Highly skilled, professional, caring , perfectionist. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for an implant or any periodontal work. You Rock Dr. G

Dr Galiano recently inserted two implants. I am extremely satisfied and pleased with his work. Warm and caring, highly professional, all questions were answered, I never felt rushed. I was completely at ease while he was doing the procedures...and they were both painless. I would definitely recommend to my family and friends.

I have been a patient of Dr. Galiano for over 15 yrs. now. I can't say enough good things about him and his staff. He has done extensive work on me. Implants, bone restoration, extractions, deep cleaning. He performed them flawlessly! I am a big chicken when it comes to this kind of dental work. However, Dr. Galiano and his staff made it easy to go through! Any work that he performs he will fully explain to you and take the time to make sure you understand. Never that "in a hurry" kind of thing that you see so much of today! A great guy and a great staff!

I went to Dr. Galiano's Verona office. The office staff was very caring and helpful with the financial procedures. Dr. Valiant pulled my tooth and put in an implant. I have never been to a more gentle dental professional! He was timely, caring, gentle and professional. He also called me himself the next day to check on me. I would highly recommend Dr. Galiano to anyone needing periodontal work!
