Dr. Mark Cohen

Brentwood Periodontist and Dental Implant Specialist

Dr. Mark Cohen received his advanced training in Periodontics & Dental Implants at the University of California, Los Angeles, during an era where biology and technology converged and an exciting new Periodontal profession was born. In this era, dental implants, Biologics (healing proteins), which grow new healthy gum and bone, and dental lasers which eliminate Periodontal (gum) disease in a minimally invasive procedure were developed and flourished. Dr. Cohen has treated thousands of patients for periodontal disease, gum recession, rebuilding lost jawbone, and placed over 6000 Dental Implants in the years since his residency at UCLA.

Dr. Mark Cohen Reviews

Real Patients. Real Results.

“He did a great job!”

“I had gum recession and was very sensitive to certain temperatures and it effected my smile too. I got opinions by a few dentists and got referred to Dr. Cohen by a friend. I did not know what to expect but once I got to the office Dr. Cohen explained everything thoroughly (even showing me before and after pictures) and took his time. He has a new technology that does not need to cut the roof of my mouth. I ended up getting this treatment and I am very happy with the results. He did a great job! My smile is fixed and I am not sensitive to different temperatures anymore. He is a true artist!”

“Thank you Dr. Cohen for your great work!”

“I had gone to the dentist for my routine cleaning and I asked them if there was a way for my smile to just show teeth and no gums so they referred me to a periodontist and that's how I found Dr. Cohen. I explained to Dr. Cohen that the upper portion of my smile was pretty gummy and I didn't like it. Dr. Cohen was kind enough to explain the causes of my gummy smile and described to me a treatment plan. He took a look at my smile and said that he would do crown lengthening. He did a great job sculpting and trimming back my excessive gum and I could really see the difference. I didn't know that it would be possible to have a better smile with the procedure that was done. Thank you Dr. Cohen for your great work!”

“Dr. Cohen is the best and I am totally grateful!”

“Dr. Cohen prepared and completed a gum implant for one of my teeth. He consulted with my dentist for over and hour, and then he completed the work as her his discussion with my dentist. I was back in his office ever few weeks the following months to check the progress of the implant. Dr. Cohen did a fabulous job with what he undertook and the results were outstanding. I really look forward to my check-ups as Dr. Cohen was so humble and funny, that it took much of the pain and the possible anxiety away! I will highly recommend Dr. Cohen to anyone that needs any periodontal or implant work in the future. ~ Dr. Cohen is the best and I am totally grateful!!!!!”

“The final result turned out better than I could have expected”

“Dr. Cohen’s work was painless, efficient, and accurate. My mouth healed quickly and the final result turned out better than I could have expected. I flew from San Francisco to Los Angeles to have Dr. Cohen work on my teeth because I knew it would be done with first class friendliness and professionality, and a bit of humor thrown in… And now my teeth are perfect!”

“Thank you for bringing my smile back again.””

“It has been over 3 months since I received my tooth implant and it has been great! Thank you so much for your care and kindness. A Job well done! Dr. Cohen, I appreciated your sense of humor as it calmed my nerves. Your assistance was a constant source of a source of assurances to me. Thank you for bringing my smile back again.”

Technique and Innovation

On the Cutting Edge of Periodontics

Dr. Cohen is a pioneer in Laser Periodontal Therapy in conjunction with Biologics (healing proteins) to eliminate bacterial infection in the gums and to restore new attachment of the gum to the teeth roots and jawbone. Dr. Cohen has lectured to the Academy of Laser Dentistry at their annual national meeting on lasers and use of Biologics in regards to Periodontal (gum) disease. Dr. Cohen serves as an Expert Witness in Laser Periodontal legal cases on a national level.

Dr. Cohen places dental implants in complex cases requiring rebuilding of the jawbone and gum tissue. Dr. Cohen is recognized as a leader in the dental implant arena and has lectured on implants nationally and recently spoke to the Korean American Dental Society on a new and improved implant design.

Dr. Cohen has been repairing gum recession and the bone underneath the recession with state of the art Biologics. Patients are truly amazed when they see their long looking, unsightly teeth roots returned to their pre-diseased appearance. Now their repaired gums are covered with healthy and pink gum tissue. The new tissues are healthier than even the original tissues!

In addition, Dr. Cohen has advanced the art of repairing gum recession with the Pinhole Surgical Technique.

Dr. Cohen is certified as a Wilckodontics Specialist. A Wilckodontics Specialist is trained to assist the orthodontist (braces) to align the teeth in 3-8 months rather than the standard 12-24 months. Dr. Cohen performs procedures which allow this rapid orthodontic movement as well as build up the gum and bone in the same procedure. Dr. Cohen’s motto for a patient receiving Wilckodontics is 3X FASTER BRACES and 3X STRONGER TEETH at the conclusion of orthodontic (braces) treatment.
