Filippo Cangini, DDS MS

Periodontists specialize in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease, as well as procedures like dental implants and gum grafting. These practitioners often work with patients referred by general dentists when issues extend beyond routine cleanings—think persistent gum inflammation, bone loss around teeth, or the need for surgical interventions to restore oral health. While many dental offices handle basic periodontal maintenance, a specialist’s practice typically focuses on more complex cases, from scaling and root planing to regenerative procedures that address tissue damage.

Filippo Cangini, DDS MS operates a periodontics practice at 401 Gregory Ln #242 in Pleasant Hill, a city tucked between Walnut Creek and Concord in Contra Costa County. The area, known for its mix of residential neighborhoods and professional offices, puts the practice within easy reach of patients across the East Bay. Pleasant Hill’s central location—just off Highway 680—means those coming from Martinez or Lafayette won’t face a lengthy detour. Parking in this stretch of Gregory Lane tends to serve the surrounding medical and dental buildings, so visitors will find the setup familiar.

Questions about treatment options or scheduling can be directed to (925) 349-5363, where the line connects to the periodontics office. For first-time visitors, mapping the route in advance helps; the building’s suite numbers aren’t always visible from the street. A quick check of the directions here confirms the entrance and avoids circling the lot. Locals note that afternoon traffic on Gregory Lane can back up near the Treaty Oak Shopping Center—best to plan accordingly.
