I saw Dr Ahn for a gum graft. He was very pleasant, explained the procedure in details, used sedation to overcome my intense gag reaction, and did a great job with the graft. Minimal discomfort afterward which was managed with Motrin. I just completed my 2 week follow up and will be back for a final check up in a month.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with both of my tooth implants done by Dr Ahn. The need for a second implant occurred when a tooth cracked, got infected and had to be pulled. I sought Dr. Ahn’s opinion as he had done my first implant years ago and that implant went great and feels like my own tooth. Dr Ahn was able to build bone in that area to secure the implant and I now have a beautiful crown over my implant. I am very happy not to have had a bridge put in as I feel it compromises the attached teeth and makes it harder to keep clean. I highly recommend Dr. Ahn as he is personable and informative and does great work.

I was referred to Dr Ahn because I had a pocket between my last molar and gum. Dr. Ahn assured me he is very conservative when it comes to extractions. But when he looked at the tooth and the xray he said the tooth would have to be extracted. He explained that extractions cost $2500. He explained that once the tooth was extracted, it would be replaced by an implant. The total cost of the entire procedure would be $10K and would be completed over the course of several months. He acknowledged that there might be a significant amount of pain involved in the procedure. Because the tooth had never bothered me, had no filling, no cavity and was not loose, I decided to get a second opinion. The new dentist looked at the xray and my tooth and said there was a pocket, but the gum was clean and healthy, and the tooth was solid. He did not recommend pulling it. If a problem arose in the future, he would look at it again. If necessary, he would extract it at a cost of $225. He also said most people don't replace the last molar with an implant because most people don't use the last molar to chew and would not miss it. It's been six months and my tooth remains healthy and solid. I will not be returning to Dr Ahn. Nor will I recommend him.

I got a bone graft and it was relatively painless. I recovered really quickly and they were very accommodating to my schedule. The doctors were nice.

One of the most important things in a doctor is trust and I trust Dr. Ahn completely. I’m older and my teeth are slowly giving me trouble and his solutions are truly genius. He does incredible work, he cares about his patients, oh, and did I mention? He’s nice too!

Marin Periodontics is a periodontal practice located at 1044 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Kentfield, serving patients throughout Marin County, California. The practice recently moved to this new office, with parking accessed from Altamira Avenue. Its services center on gum health and tooth replacement, including dental implants, bone grafting, gum disease treatment, gum grafting, gum recession treatment, laser gum therapy, and sedation options to make visits more comfortable. The doctors work closely with each patient's general dentist to build a personalized treatment plan, and the practice describes a conservative, minimally invasive approach to treating gum disease where appropriate.
For patients missing one or several teeth, the practice places dental implants and offers implant-supported dentures in both bar-retained and ball-retained designs. It also offers Straumann Pro Arch, a full-arch implant option for patients who have lost significant jaw bone after tooth loss, with a temporary restoration provided while the implants heal. Implant treatment is planned with computer-guided SIMPLANT technology and X-Guide dynamic three-dimensional navigation, and the office uses a Prexion cone beam scanner for three-dimensional imaging, digital x-rays, intraoral scanning, and PIEZOSURGERY ultrasonic technology for bone grafting. The office notes that it checks dental insurance coverage for implants before starting treatment. Hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:30am to 5:00pm, and the office is closed on Wednesdays.
The practice's clinical team includes Dr. Brand J. Ahn and Dr. Hanna Brody. Dr. Ahn graduated from the University of Chicago, earned his doctorate of dental surgery from Columbia University, and completed postgraduate training in periodontics at the University of California, San Francisco. He is a diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, a co-author of multiple publications, a past president of the Marin County Dental Society, and a clinical associate professor in the graduate periodontics program at the University of California, San Francisco. Dr. Brody, a Bay Area native, received her doctorate of dental surgery and postgraduate periodontics training at the University of California, San Francisco, along with a master's degree in oral and craniofacial sciences focused on peri-implant disease. Her research on probiotics in periodontal treatment has been published in periodontal journals and earned her a research award from the American Academy of Periodontology; she is also a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society and received the American Academy of Periodontology Achievement Award.
