Periodontal care and oral surgery in Tampa
Gum health and surgical care handled in the office you already trust, by the doctor who already knows your mouth.
Healthy gums are the foundation your teeth stand on. When gum disease sets in, it works quietly: bleeding when you brush, persistent bad breath, gums pulling away from the teeth. Scaling and root planing is a deep cleaning below the gumline that removes the buildup driving the disease and gives your gums the chance to heal.
When a tooth cannot be saved, or wisdom teeth start causing trouble, extractions are handled gently and in-house. No unfamiliar specialist office, no starting over with someone new: Dr. Bustami evaluates, explains your options honestly, and takes care of it in the same chair where you get your cleanings.

Common questions
What are the warning signs of gum disease?
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss, persistent bad breath, tenderness, and gums that look like they are pulling away from your teeth. Caught early, gum disease is very treatable, which is why those signs are worth a visit rather than a wait.
What is scaling and root planing?
It is a deep cleaning below the gumline. Scaling removes the hardened buildup on the tooth and root surfaces, and planing smooths the roots so the gums can reattach. It is the standard first treatment for gum disease and is done under local anesthetic.
Does having a tooth pulled hurt?
The area is fully numbed before anything starts, so you feel pressure rather than pain. Dr. Bustami works gently, and you leave with clear aftercare instructions so healing stays on track.
Do my wisdom teeth need to come out?
Not always. Wisdom teeth that come in straight and stay cleanable can often stay. Ones that are impacted, crowding their neighbors, or repeatedly getting infected usually should not. An exam and X-ray give a clear answer for your case.
