Navid Baradarian
Expert periodontal care in a
calming environment
By Camille Sperrazza
D
r. Navid Baradarian
(2272 Hendrickson
Street, (718) 253-
3333), is the professional to
see when it comes to peri-
odontal care.
He is highly trained in
fields that include perion-
dontal disease, extractions,
bone grafting, periondontal
regeneration, and implants.
He specialized in periodon-
tal training for three years at
the University of Medicine
and Dentistry of New Jersey.
He is a graduate of the State
University of New York at
Buffalo School of Dental
Medicine, and did a resi-
dency at NYU and Bellevue
Hospital.
As a professional in the
field, Dr. Baradarian always
tries to save people’s teeth
if possible. “There’s noth-
ing like your own teeth,” he
says.
If he notices that one
of the issues may be that
patients are not brushing or
flossing efficiently, the doc-
tor will teach them how to
do so.
But for those with teeth
that cannot be saved, the
good news is that dental
implants are a practical
alternative.
These artificial teeth
are strong, and are a good
option for people who have
lost teeth due to periodontal
disease. Cosmetically, they
are so natural-looking and
feeling, many people forget
that they are implants, says
the doctor. Dental implants
are logical choices because
they are so functional.
In fact, recent develop-
ments in the field have made
more people candidates

for dental implants. Dr.
Baradarian points out that
studies have shown a five-
year success rate of 95 per-
cent with dental implants-
placed in healthy non smok-
ers.
Just as with your real
teeth, implants require
brushing, f lossing, and
maintenance. With proper
care, they can last a lifetime,
says the doctor.
So often, people are
embarrassed because they
have gaps in their teeth,
crooked teeth, or conditions
that prevent them from
smiling. In addition, crook-
ed or missing teeth impact
eating, causing health prob-
lems or improper digestion.
By taking advantage of these
modern dental techniques,
you can enjoy life-changing
alternatives.
Some avoid the dentist
because they are afraid that
will be uncomfortable dur-
ing the visit, and perhaps
experience pain during a
procedure.
But Dr. Baradarian says
he does everything possible
to make patients feel relaxed
and comfortable. He patient-
ly answers all questions, and
explains what needs to be
done so that there are no
surprises. He offers sedation
dentistry, ensuring that all
patients receive safe, and
anxiety-free care.
The majority of Dr.
Baradarian’s patients are
referred to him by a general
dentist. However, not hav-
ing that referral should not
prevent people from con-
tacting him.
In fact, people who expe-
rience bleeding when floss-
ing or brushing, who have
pain in the gums, or who
suffer from bad breath, may
wish to make an appoint-
ment for a consultation. The
doctor will assess the situa-
tion and advise.
A visit to the periodonist
is important. The American
Academy of Periodontology
believes that infections in
the mouth can cause prob-

lems everywhere in the
body. These studies suggest
that inflammation may be
linked to periodontal dis-
ease, and that there is an
association between peri-
odontal diseases and other
chronic inf lammator y
conditions, such as diabe-
tes, cardiovascular disease
and even Alzheimer’s dis-
ease, Dr. Baradarian says.
Therefore, visiting the peri-
odontist will not only assist
with oral hygiene, but may
help manage other factors
associated with chronic
inflammatory conditions.

see the doctor today.
Most major dental insur-
ance plans are accepted.
