About Alan M. Timko, DMD

Dr. Alan Timko is a Board Certified Periodontist, providing services in periodontics and implant dentistry to the greater Pittsburgh Area. Our office has been serving western Pennsylvania since 1958, when it was founded by Michael Timko DDS, who was one of the first periodontists in Pittsburgh! According to the latest statistics, 80% of the population has gum disease. Studies have shown that gum disease can cause havoc elsewhere in the body. Everyone should be checked for periodontal disease, because if it is caught early enough,Non-surgical treatment may suffice to get things under control. If surgical treatment is needed, Dr. Timko has been trained in the latest techniques, including laser gum surgery, or LANAP. This is the first FDA approved laser treatment for periodontal disease. It involves no cutting, or stitches, and very minimal post-operative discomfort. Dr. Timko is the first and only Board Certified Periodontist in Western Pennsylvania, to offer this laser dental treatment. Visit us at drtimko.com
