Advanced Periodontics Implant Center

What Advanced Periodontics Implant Center does

Advanced Periodontics Implant Center is a single-location periodontal and dental implant specialty practice headquartered at 72780 Country Club Drive, Suite 402, in Rancho Mirage, California. Founded in 1998 by Dr. Ellie Love, a board-affiliated periodontist who teaches at Loma Linda School of Dentistry and the University Health & Science Center, the practice serves patients throughout the Coachella Valley, including Palm Desert, Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Indio, La Quinta, Indian Wells, and Yucca Valley.

The practice delivers the full scope of periodontal and implant care, organized around minimally invasive and digitally enabled clinical protocols. Core procedures include LANAP and LAPIP laser therapy for gum disease and peri-implantitis, the Pinhole Surgical Technique for gum recession (trained under founder Dr. John Chao), guided tissue and bone regeneration, sinus and ridge grafting, scaling and root planing, and cosmetic periodontal surgery. Implant services span single-tooth implants, implant-supported dentures, and the TeethXpress full-arch protocol using BioHorizons Laser-Lok implants. Supporting technologies include iTero digital intraoral scanning, Digital Smile Design visualization, Perio Scope endoscopic imaging, and L-PRF (leukocyte-platelet rich fibrin) regenerative therapy. Sedation options (local anesthetic, nitrous oxide, oral, and IV conscious sedation) are offered across procedures.

The practice operates on a professional services revenue model with fees established after initial examination, a 5% discount for pre-payment, and CareCredit healthcare financing for non-insured balances. Insurance typically covers 30-80% of treatment cost. Patient acquisition is sales-led and primarily referral-driven: the practice reports collaborative relationships with approximately 300 referring dentists in the community, supplemented by self-referrals and word-of-mouth. Marketing relies on the practice website, patient testimonials, and educational content rather than paid advertising. The business is founder-owned and privately held, with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or expansion beyond the single Rancho Mirage office.

Products and services

• Periodontal LANAP/LAPIP Laser Therapy Minimally invasive laser gum disease treatment using the LANAP protocol for periodontitis and LAPIP protocol for peri-implantitis; dental lasers vaporize diseased tissue, calculus, and bacteria without incisions or sutures, promoting tissue regeneration. Intended for patients with gum disease or failing dental implants.
• Sedation Dentistry Anxiety and pain management service offering local anesthetic, nitrous oxide, oral sedation, and IV conscious sedation administered by certified professionals during periodontal and implant procedures. Intended for anxious patients and those undergoing surgical treatment.
• Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery Aesthetic periodontal procedures including crown lengthening, soft tissue grafts, and gum reshaping to improve smile appearance, cover exposed roots, and correct gummy or uneven gum lines. Intended for patients seeking smile aesthetic improvements.
• Tooth Extractions Tooth removal services for severely decayed, infected, or impacted teeth, performed with sedation and minimally invasive techniques.
• Gum Grafting Soft tissue grafting procedures to cover exposed roots, reduce gum recession, and protect teeth from decay using tissue from the palate or adjacent areas.
• Bone Grafting Jaw bone reconstruction procedures including sinus lifts and ridge expansion to rebuild bone density for dental implant candidacy.
• Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration Regeneration of lost gum and bone tissue using bio-absorbable or removable membranes and bioactive gels.
• Crown Lengthening Removal of excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown, improving smile aesthetics and enabling restorative procedures.
• iTero Digital Scanning Digital 3D intraoral scanning service for creating accurate dental impressions without traditional putty trays, improving patient comfort and restoration accuracy; files are transmitted wirelessly to dental laboratories.
• Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation (PST) Minimally invasive gum recession treatment using the Pinhole Surgical Technique, reshaping gum tissue through small pinholes without scalpels, cutting, sutures, or tissue grafts; Dr. Love studied directly under founder Dr. John Chao.
• Scaling and Root Planing Deep cleaning procedure to remove plaque and tartar beneath the gum line and smooth root surfaces for gum tissue healing and reattachment.
• Sinus Grafting Sinus lift procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw in the molar/premolar area by lifting the sinus membrane to enable dental implant placement.
• L-PRF (Leukocyte-Platelet Rich Fibrin) Bioactive healing therapy using concentrated platelets and healing proteins derived from the patient's own blood to accelerate natural tissue regeneration and healing at surgical sites.
• Digital Smile Design Digital smile visualization service that creates virtual representations of a patient's new smile, allowing pre-treatment preview for dental implants, full mouth reconstruction, and porcelain veneer cases.
• Soft Tissue Grafting Procedures to cover exposed tooth roots and restore gum tissue using tissue grafts to treat gum recession and improve aesthetics.
• Single Dental Implants Surgical placement of individual dental implant posts to replace single missing teeth, fully integrating with jaw bone for permanent restoration.
• Implant-Supported Dentures Hybrid tooth replacement combining traditional dentures with dental implants for improved stability, security, and function.
• TeethXpress Full Arch Dental Implants Full arch tooth replacement using BioHorizons Laser-Lok implants with a custom prosthesis attached to multiple implant posts, often completed in a single visit, with reported greater than 95% success rate.
• Perio Scope Examination Non-invasive periodontal endoscopy service for exploration and visualization of periodontal pockets, allowing clinicians to identify root surface cracks, perforations, calculus, and disease-causing flaws without surgery.
