Restoring Your Smile, Reviving Your Confidence

“Dr Withers and his office staff are excellent! Using his unique knowlege of laser treatment, he saved me pain and expense with a treatment taking less than 30 minutes. It is well worth an appointment to see what he can offer you!”

-Kathryn Smitley

Personalized Periodontal Treatment

By focusing solely on periodontics, Dr. Withers is able to address all types of cases in-office. For patients experiencing earlier stages of gum disease, we might recommend thorough deep cleanings (scaling and root planing) to eliminate infection and protect your gums and bone tissue. For more advanced cases, we also provide surgical periodontal procedures.

At the Laser Periodontal Center of Northern Virginia, we’re proud to offer LANAP, a breakthrough laser system that treats gum disease with minimal discomfort and reduced recovery times. Regardless of your unique needs, our advanced treatment options are designed to help you keep your natural teeth, avoid future complications, and improve your overall health.
