Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and Dental Implant Surgery Dr. Kennie Kwok, DMD runs San Diego Periodontics & Implant Dentistry from 4060 Fourth Ave Suite 303 in Hillcrest after taking over the longstanding practice from its previous owner. Cross-discipline cases needing endodontic-perio coordination on cracked or non-vital teeth are referred to specialists like Hillcrest Endodontics before perio surgery begins. Kwok earned a dual ABET-accredited Bioengineering and Biochemistry degree from UCSD, a DMD from Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine, and completed a general practice residency plus three-year periodontology certificate at NYU Lutheran where he served as Chief Resident. He holds added certifications in the Chao Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Technique, the LANAP laser-assisted protocol, the Pat Allen soft-tissue allograft tunneling technique, the Bone Ring technique, and the SMART subperiosteal ridge-augmentation procedure. The office serves patients in Cantonese, Mandarin, Spanish, Taiwanese, and Vietnamese, and final cosmetic finishing on completed implant cases is coordinated with restorative offices such as Dentique Cosmetic Dentistry Studio. The practice's most complex workflow combines guided surgical implant placement, sinus lifts, and SMART ridge augmentation in atrophic posterior maxillae before final prosthetic loading.
