Meet the Doctors
My name is Jean-Claude Kharmouche and I have been practicing advanced periodontics for over fourteen years. 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.

I was born and raised in Haryana, India where I completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery from SGT Dental College Hospital and Research Institute, MDU and practiced as a general dentist before moving to the United States. I completed my Periodontal and Implant training from Rutgers School of Dental Medicine along with my Masters in Dental Science degree. During this time, I also presented posters, lectures, seminars, and taught student doctors. I also completed a one-year Periodontics-Prosthodontics fellowship certification before enrolling in the periodontics residency program.

I have been practicing periodontics since 1991, both in group settings and as a solo practice owner. I'm board certified by the American Board of Periodontology and earned my DMD from the University of Louisville, along with a specialty certificate from Virginia Commonwealth/MCV. As a former part-time clinical instructor at VCU/MCV, I value education and staying current with advancements in my field. I’m honored to have been recognized as a top periodontist by Washingtonian and NOVA magazines over the years.
