Why we built this practice

World-class care with world-class clinicians.

Dr. Alkanan founded Eastern Washington Implants and Periodontics on a simple idea: patients in Eastern Washington deserve board-certified specialists, 3D-planned surgery and sedation done properly, close to home.

Take two minutes and hear it in his own words.

What we do

Three things we do more than anyone in the region.

We are a referral-based specialty practice. These are the treatments general dentists send their patients to us for.

Dental Implants

A permanent replacement for a missing tooth — root and all. Placed with 3D planning so the implant sits exactly where the final tooth needs it.

Dental implants

Gum Grafting

For gums that have receded and left roots exposed and sensitive. We rebuild the tissue and stop the recession from getting worse.

Gum grafting

LANAP Laser Gum Treatment

Treating gum disease without a scalpel and without stitches. Most patients are back to normal the next day.

LANAP laser treatment
In their words

Patients who were nervous about coming in.

"Past trauma left me anxious about the dentist. Dr. Alkanan helped me overcome my fear."

Angela — Single dental implant

"I have never felt more cared for by a dentist than I do with Dr. Alkanan."

Dennis — Failing implant saved with LAPIP

"I couldn't eat properly. Dental implants offered me the permanent solution that I needed."

Lesa — All-on-X full arch implants

Two periodontists. One plan.

Complex cases get two specialist opinions before anything is decided.

Board certification is the highest credential in periodontics, and both of our doctors hold it. Complex cases here are reviewed by both: the surgeon who will do the work, and the specialist who helped write the research it rests on. A second opinion is built in, with no extra step for you.
