Northern Virginia Periodontics

What Northern Virginia Periodontics does

Northern Virginia Periodontics is a private, fee-for-service periodontal specialty practice founded in 1995 by Dr. A. Garrett Gouldin and now operating two locations in Falls Church and Alexandria, Virginia. The practice is staffed by three board-certified periodontists (Dr. Gouldin, Dr. Francisco T. Carlos, and Dr. Vishal Gohel), all Diplomates of the American Board of Periodontology, supported by a practice administrator, treatment coordinators, hygienists, and surgical assistants.

The clinical offering centers on periodontal therapy and dental implant services, including single-tooth implants, implant-supported dentures, full-arch implant restoration, ridge and sinus augmentation, failing-implant treatment, tooth extractions, gum grafting, osseous surgery, LANAP laser therapy, Chao Pinhole gum surgery, and sedation dentistry ranging from local anesthesia to general anesthesia delivered by an in-house partner anesthesiologist. Technology infrastructure includes Vatech CBCT 3D imaging, PerioLase MVP-7 LANAP laser, X-Nav dynamic implant navigation, PIEZOSURGERY ultrasonic bone surgery, 3Shape Trios intraoral scanning, and regenerative biological materials (BMP, PDGF, PRF, EMD).

The business model is fee-for-service with payment due at time of service; the practice is not contracted with dental insurers but files claims as a courtesy and partners with four third-party financing providers (CareCredit, PatientFi, Lending Club, Proceed Finance) to enable monthly payment plans. Patient acquisition combines a content-marketing-heavy website, blog, published guidebook, and smile gallery with an active referral channel from general dentists across the Northern Virginia and Washington DC region, reinforced by the in-house Center for Education which hosts three ongoing study clubs for dental professionals.

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• 42 North Dental:
• PDS Health (Pacific Dental Services): PDS Health supports ~4,000+ dentist-owned practices across the U.S. with clinical and operational infrastructure — a broad incumbent DSO that competes for the same specialist talent pool and patient demand in metropolitan markets like Northern Virginia.
• Western Dental & Orthodontics: Western Dental operates a large multi-specialty DSO platform offering general dentistry, orthodontics, implants, and periodontics — competing for similar patient demand at scale, but as a high-volume in-network provider rather than an independent fee-for-service specialist.
• Aspen Dental: Aspen Dental is a national DSO with ~1,000+ offices offering general dentistry plus implants, extractions, and restorative work — broad incumbent with overlapping implant and periodontal service lines but a multi-specialty general-dentistry focus and DSO scale NVP does not have.
• Heartland Dental: Heartland Dental is the largest U.S. dental support organization (~1,800 supported offices) providing non-clinical support to affiliated practices — broadly comparable as a competing business model for dental practice scaling and infrastructure, though it does not directly specialize in periodontics or implants.

Direct peers

• ClearChoice Dental Implant Centers: ClearChoice operates a national network of fixed-location dental implant centers focused on full-arch and single-tooth implant restoration, with in-house labs and sedation — directly overlapping NVP's implant and full-arch service lines, though at much larger scale and a corporate/DSO model.
• Affordable Care (Affordable Dentures & Implants): Affordable Care is the largest U.S. denture and implant provider network (~400 locations), specializing in tooth replacement, implants, and extractions — a direct functional peer to NVP's implant-supported denture, full-arch, and extraction services.
