San Diego Periodontics & Implant Dentistry

What San Diego Periodontics & Implant Dentistry does

San Diego Periodontics & Implant Dentistry is a privately-held, single-location specialty dental practice based in San Diego, California, led by Dr. Kennie Kwok, a Board Certified Periodontist and Dental Implant Surgeon. The firm provides surgical periodontal and implant dentistry services, with a procedural portfolio spanning dental implant placement, bone and soft tissue grafting (including sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and ridge preservation), gum disease treatment (scaling and root planing, LANAP laser surgery, pocket reduction surgery, periodontal maintenance), and gum recession correction (gum grafting, Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique, Guided Tissue Regeneration). Ancillary offerings include gummy smile correction, adult frenectomy, and sedation. The practice operates from one office at 4060 Fourth Ave, Suite 303, serving San Diego and adjacent communities (La Jolla, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Mission Hills, Point Loma, Sunset Cliffs).

The practice's service delivery combines conventional periodontal surgery with advanced minimally-invasive modalities such as the Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique and LANAP laser therapy, both requiring specialized clinician certification. The go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer patient acquisition supported by a multilingual front office (Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Taiwanese, Vietnamese), augmented by a referral channel from general dentists who leverage the practice's "For Dentists" section and Dr. Kwok's professional affiliations (ADA, AAP, CDA, SDCDS, American Board of Periodontology, AAID, ADSA). Marketing channels include Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Yelp, a content blog, and Google Reviews.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service professional services basis from individual patients, with PPO dental insurance accepted across multiple carriers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based following in-office consultation. With reported headcount of 11-50 employees, the practice functions as an independent owner-operator clinic with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, acquisitions, funding, or management changes.
