What Patients
Consult Her For
Dr. Pragya sees patients across the full spectrum of implant and periodontal needs — from routine single-tooth replacements to the most complex full-arch rehabilitations.
- Single missing tooth — implant to replace one tooth permanently
- Multiple missing teeth — implant-supported bridges or individual implants
- Full-mouth tooth replacement — All-on-4 or All-on-6 fixed implant bridges
- Bone loss or low bone density — bone grafting and sinus lift before implants
- Failed or rejected dental implant — assessment, removal, and re-implantation
- Second opinion on an implant treatment plan
- Gum disease treatment before or alongside implant placement
The Periodontics
Behind the Implants
Her MDS is in Periodontics — the gums and the bone that support teeth. It sits naturally alongside implant work: the two disciplines answer different halves of the same question, and holding both changes how a case is planned.
An implant is anchored by bone and sealed by the gum around it. That seal has no periodontal ligament behind it the way a natural tooth does, so it is less defended — and its thickness and stability are a large part of what decides whether an implant is still healthy many years later. Assessing and grafting that tissue takes an extra step that is easy to leave out, because an implant placed without it still looks fine the day the crown goes on.
Dr. Pragya has trained specifically in soft-tissue management around teeth and implants with Dr. Ricardo Kern, and applies it as part of implant planning rather than as a repair later.
She is also the clinic's lead periodontist. She assesses gum and bone health across the practice, leads the complex periodontal work — periodontal plastic surgery, gum recession root coverage and connective tissue grafting — and works alongside Dr. Ruthali Kamat, the practice's specialist periodontist, on periodontal care day to day.
