Periodontitis is a common complaint affecting approximately 50% of U.S. adults over the age of 30 years. It occurs in people who have preexisting gingivitis which is itself caused by the accumulation of bacteria at the gum line (dental plaque). Your gums may begin to form a pocket below the gumline, which traps food and plaque. If left untreated, plaque calcifies to form dental calculus. Dental calculus must be removed completely by the dental hygienist or the dentist in order to treat gingivitis and periodontitis. Proper dental treatment and improved home care can usually help prevent further damage. If left untreated, bone supporting your teeth can be destroyed, causing your teeth to shift or loosen.
Daily oral hygiene is vital in preventing the onset and growth of gum disease. Brushing and flossing keep teeth free from plaque-generating bacteria. In addition it is important to visit the dentist regularly for professional cleanings and examinations.

I’ve been a patient here for many years and what keeps me coming back each time is the staff and their dedication to my teeth. I used to have tooth sensitivity and cavities. Now my teeth are stronger and gums don’t bleed anymore. Cavities are gone and teeth are bright and healthy. Dr. Khurana is very thorough and the hygenists spend over an hour cleaning my teeth each visit. Can’t ask for a better dentist!
Great experience having teeth cleaned today and some bonded. Teamwork is very good!
Great dentist, hygenists, and office staff as I have been a patient for nearly 20 years.
Went in for two crowns today. The service was exceptional and they put me right at ease. Very good chairside manners
Wonderful and friendly staff. Also very skilled dental care that I always trust.
Dr. Khurana and his staff are the consummate professionals! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist.
I have been a patient at Dentistry of Bellevue since before Dr. Khurana acquired the practice from Dr. Peterson. All the staff are wonderful to work with - remembering little things like I need a "wedge" to keep my mouth open. I have also recommended Dentistry of Bellevue to several friends that are now patients as well. Thanks for EVERYTHING!
I’ve been going here for many years. My hygenist Shelley is the best! Dr Khurana is an amazing dentist and truly cares about his patients.
Dr. Khurana is a highly skilled, outstanding dentist, and he and his staff are very welcoming. When my appointments come up, I actually look forward to going to the appointments to see the dentist - that is how great the staff is there!
Really impressed with the work done by Dr. Cheng today. Would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Cheng!
