Meet our dentist

Hello and thank you for visiting our 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 since 1997. My devotion to dentistry has been strong throughout my life. My father, Dr. Emmanuel Kharmouche, former assistant dean at the Dental School at Aleppo University was and still is 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, a member of the American Academy of Periodontology, and the Virginia Society of Periodontics.
