Dr. Garibov is proficient in all aspects of surgical periodontal care and makes excellent patient experience in his office a top priority. After completing the residency program, he received specialized clinical training in lasers for periodontal surgical care. Laser therapy (LANAP®) to treat periodontal disease has been proven by peer-reviewed studies to be a less-invasive alternative to conventional periodontal surgery while delivering comparable results.
