Welcome to Northern Virginia Periodontics in Falls Church & Alexandria, VA

The NVP Process

Welcome

From your first phone call to our office, we will focus on getting to know you and your unique story. When you arrive for your initial appointment, you will be greeted by your dedicated Treatment Coordinator who will be your advocate throughout your care in our office.

Plan

Your Treatment Coordinator will orient you to our practice, and will introduce you to your periodontist. The doctor will listen to you, and will seek to clearly understand your medical and dental history. Then a complete, gentle exam will occur to document your specific oral condition. You will be empowered by the doctor’s clear explanation of your diagnosis and your appropriate treatment options. A customized Treatment Blueprint will be created.

Prepare

Your Treatment Coordinator will thoroughly review your Treatment Blueprint, and the associated payment options. NVP Treatment Coordinators are expert at finding a financing option to fit your budget, and at ensuring you are 100% prepared for your scheduled periodontal or implant treatment.

Perform

Your thorough education and preparation up to this point will put your mind at ease as you begin your treatment. Additionally, at NVP we combine our experience and knowledge with advanced technology and minimally invasive methods to ensure your safety and comfort, and to maximize your treatment outcome.

Maintain

Once we have celebrated the completion of your Treatment Blueprint, you will transition to the preventive phase of your care. Our Supportive Periodontal Therapy program involves uniquely timed, thorough oral cleanings and professional evaluations to avoid problems or the recurrence of disease.

Check Out What Our Patients Have To Say!

Really happy with my experience with Dr. Gouldin. Excellent initial visit where he laid out the options and staff did insurance per-authorization same day so I knew how much I'd end up paying. Procedure went exactly as described... Very happy with the results. I definitely recommend!

John M.

I am glad I learned about this practice. I was successfully treated by Dr. Carlos. He and his staff were very professional and provided care tailored to my particular needs. I highly recommend this group for any periodontal care you may need.

Robin S.

The whole team was polite, well organized and easy to work with. Everyone including Dr. Gouldin went out of their way to accommodate my schedule and dental health. Superb experience - especially when you consider I was in there for dental work! Highly recommended.

Ainsley P.

Dr. Carlos gently and expertly rebuilt my badly receding gum line on a lower front tooth. The gum graft was painless, much to my surprise. I went home with clear instructions on medication, diet and cleaning. Two weeks later he removed the stitches. Today, six weeks later, the gum has completely healed and looks normal. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it. I highly recommend Dr. Carlos and his kind staff.

Alice M.

Dr. Carlos was great. He clearly explained my options for gum surgery and patiently answered my questions. 2 months later, my gums are healed and the tooth root is covered. All of the office staff were very courteous and professional. Charges were clearly explained and check-in was smooth. Best run doctor's office I have ever visited!

Anne C.

I thought that Dr. Gouldin and his staff did a great job on my teeth implants. I greatly appreciate their expertise, friendliness, and efficiency.

Dr. Gouldin is a fantastic implant surgeon. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process and performed a top notch job. I would happily recommend and come back to Dr. Gouldin for any surgeries, as I trust him.

Michael M.

Very professional, highly competent group of doctors and staff. They make difficult procedures as painless as possible.

Gloria M.

Amazing service with Dr. Carlos. I received a front tooth implant. Dr. Carlos walked me through everything and helped me through the long process of getting the implant set. When I had a problem with my tooth, Dr. Carlos dropped everything and scheduled me for the next day. His quick service made a huge difference and my implant is perfect. The service was impeccable and I am extremely pleased with my new front tooth. No one can tell it’s an implant.
