Advanced Periodontics Implant Center

Dedicated to Surgical Innovation and Excellence

By Morgan Paulson

After a decade practicing periodontics in the Coachella Valley, Dr. Ellie Kheirkhahi-Love, D.D.S., M.S.D., has opened Advanced Periodontics Implant Center, a private practice focused on surgical innovation and excellence in periodontics and dental implant surgery.

Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love continues to remain at the forefront of the dental field, always delivering the highest level of service and results to her patients. At her brand new facility located in the Rancho Mirage Medical Center, Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love performs progressive dental procedures utilizing some of the most advanced technology available today.

Taking a tour through the center’s pristine procedure rooms and dental labs, Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love points out a digital X-ray machine that delivers the most accuracy in office measuring capabilities of X-rays to date.

“The visualizations coupled with the appropriate software allow us to place implants with a level of precision that was unattainable just a few years ago,” explains Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love. “It provides detailed views of the facial structures so that we can determine and plan the proper treatment approach for each patient, including the correct type and size of implants and their optimal placement — in advance of surgery.”

With this new technology, surgical procedures are often less invasive, which translates to reduced discomfort, less treatment time, and a more accurate outcome.

Advanced Periodontics Implant Center is also a study facility where the dental community can participate in collaborative seminars led by Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love, a certified continuing education instructor for the Dental Board of California.

“At the center, we seek to bridge the gap between research and development and real-world practitioners by promoting education on key issues and medical discoveries,” says Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love. “Collaborating with experts to innovate progressive dental care has life-saving potential.”

Indeed, studies have shown that there is an association between periodontal disease and other serious health issues such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and adverse pregnancy outcomes. An estimated 80 percent of American adults currently have some form of the disease, which causes infection and inflammation of the gums and connective tissues. Left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to tissue and bone deterioration — and eventual tooth loss.

“My practice provides dental care that goes beyond maintaining healthy teeth and gums,” explains Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love. “We offer a range of in-office medical screenings that can identify other serious health issues.”

Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love and her professional staff are devoted to providing the highest standard in patient care, with emphasis on maintaining a warm and friendly office environment. Patients are greeted by smiling administrators — and often by Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love herself — in a comfortable waiting area. Patients receive a thorough dental exam, followed by a consultation where a treatment plan, customized to meet their individual needs, will be explained in detail so that the best possible outcome can be anticipated and achieved.

“Our dedication to surgical innovation and excellence is only surpassed by our commitment to patient satisfaction,” says Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love. “We hold ourselves to the highest ethical and clinical standards and we pride ourselves on creating an environment that makes our patients feel comfortable and cared for. Collaboration with our patient’s restorative dentist and other specialists is key to developing a treatment plan that will realize optimum results.”

Dr. Kheikhahi-Love is a graduate of the University of Colorado at Denver. She served her residency at the University of Stonybrook at New York and her periodontal residency at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio.

In addition to private practice, Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love lends her time and expertise to a local nonprofit educational endeavor — the University Health & Science Center, helping area residents to seek new careers in the field of dentistry. She is a visiting faculty member of the Loma Linda School of Dentistry, Department of Advanced Periodontics, responsible for the training of future specialists in the field of periodontics.

Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love is a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, California Dental Association, Tri-County Dental Association, American Association of Dental Anesthesiology, and California Society of Periodontics.

“Dr. Ellie Kheirkhahi-Love is incredibly impressive: very intelligent, caring, takes her time, has high standards, explains everything, and maintains a conservative yet prospective attitude. I couldn’t have been happier.” — Sherwyn, Actual Patient

“Mine was a complicated case that required a complete rebuilding of the upper arch of my mouth, including extractions, bone augmentation, multiple implants, and gum grafting. Dr. Kheirkhahi-Love consistently responded with deep care and concern. It was important to her that I understood and was comfortable with the various procedures. I greatly appreciated her approach, and I’ve always felt valued as a patient. She continues to follow up with me to ensure that my implants remain healthy and functional.” — Gloria, Actual Patient
