Dr. Jean-Claude Kharmouche

 Hello and thank you for visiting my website. I would like to take this opportunity to familiarize you with my personal history and experience in periodontics while also introducing my practice and its philosophies. My name is Jean-Claude Kharmouche and I have been practicing advanced periodontics for over fourteen years. My devotion to dentistry has been strong throughout my life. My father, Dr. Emmanuel Kharmouche, former assistant dean at the Dental School in Aleppo University was and still my mentor and my inspiration, working in his dental lab since my ninth grade, continuously observing, learning and assisting him instilled in me a great respect and passion for the dental profession. After obtaining my DMD Degree from Boston University in 1993, I joined the Periodontal Department at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond in 1994 and graduated in 1997. During this time, I was able to pursue my interest, and continue my education in Advanced Periodontal Care and the Art of …Implant Dentistry. I was fortunate enough to be trained with some of the best periodontists, professors and colleagues. I have always valued the knowledge that I have acquired from these institutions and continually update my education through national and local seminars. I am also a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, member of the American Academy of Periodontology, Virginia Society of Periodontics, Implant Society of Northern Virginia, American Academy of Osseointegration, American Dental Association and Northern Virginia Dental Society. After proudly treating my patients locally in Northern Virginia since 1998, I started my own practice dedicated to implant and periodontal care in Sterling in 2002 and then in Gainesville in 2008 . The office's advanced equipment and technology, as well as my staff's experience allow us to perform a range of treatment. The treatment procedures can range from a very important initial visit to an advanced comprehensive case that involves your dentist and me working together. As an Associate Professor at VCU-MCV, Department of Periodontics, I have the opportunity to share my experience and keep myself updated with the latest periodontal knowledge, material and technique. I believe in education, and by helping you understand the diagnosis and treatment, I will strengthen your confidence in my practice and the entire dental community. I would like to personally assure you that by visiting my office you would guarantee the finest periodontal and implants care. You will experience an innovative atmosphere and a unique personal touch. You will also encounter my supportive staff that is knowledgeable, professional and caring. Thank you again for taking the time to visit my web site and looking forward to maintain your healthy smile and your healthy body.
