Board-Certified Periodontist in Annandale

Meet Dr. Adrian Rudiak

Surgery backed by research

Dr. Adrian Rudiak is a board-certified periodontist who has presented research at national and international conferences and returns to New York University as a guest lecturer.

He earned his certificate in Periodontics at NYU College of Dentistry, where he also completed a general residency in comprehensive dentistry and received the Award for Clinical Stewardship. That combination of comprehensive and specialty training shows up in how he plans cases: he treats the gums and bone in front of him while accounting for the restorative work the tooth will need later.

Dr. Rudiak’s Area of Expertise

  • Dental implant placement and site development
  • Bone grafting to rebuild lost ridge volume
  • Soft tissue grafting for gum recession
  • Osseous surgery for advanced periodontal disease
  • Periodontal maintenance and long-term monitoring
  • Crown lengthening and gum contouring

He favors a multi-specialty approach, which at Prestige Dental Specialists means his surgical plan is built alongside the endodontists and the patient’s referring dentist rather than in isolation. He also puts real time into explaining what caused the bone loss in the first place, since periodontal disease returns without changes to home care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does osseous surgery involve?

It is a procedure for advanced gum disease in which Dr. Rudiak folds back the gum tissue, removes bacteria and diseased tissue from the bone surface, reshapes the bone where it has been damaged, and secures the gums back into place so the pockets can heal shallower.

How is a periodontist different from my regular dentist?

A periodontist completes several additional years of surgical training focused on the gums and the bone that hold teeth in place, plus implant placement. Your dentist handles routine care and refers when the disease or the surgery goes beyond that scope.

Will I need to keep seeing Dr. Rudiak after treatment?

Usually yes, on a periodontal maintenance schedule. Gum disease is managed rather than cured, and the interval between visits depends on how your tissue responds.

Where does Dr. Rudiak see patients?

At the Prestige Dental Specialists office at 7617 Little River Turnpike, Suite 910, in Annandale, VA 22003.
