About Dr. Bulkacz

Dr. Jaime Bulkacz

Dr. Jaime Bulkacz has been a Periodontal Specialist in the Los Angeles area for many years. He has been in private practice in the San Fernando Valley since 1984 with his current office located in Tarzana, at 18740 Ventura Blvd., Suite 306.

Dr. Bulkacz’ philosophy is to provide the best patient care in an atmosphere of comfort and relaxation.

“I have tried to maintain a practice where patients can feel at ease,” says Dr. Bulkacz. “This is reflected in the number of patients that have been coming to see me for many years, some for 15 or more. My Practice comprises all aspects of Periodontal therapy, including surgical aspects of Implantology. We offer counseling in oral health maintenance, and all surgical procedures for the reprieve of Periodontal defects. Consultations usually take at least 45 minutes and we work only by appointments. Our surgical procedures include pocket reductions, bone and soft tissue regenerative procedures, periodontal esthetic plastic surgery, crown lengthening procedures and soft tissue recontouring.”

When away from the dental office, Dr. Bulkacz spends his time in research at UCLA. He is investigating the influence of bacterial products in the initiation and maintenance of Peridontal disease. He also enjoys spending time with his wife and family.
