Periodontal Procedures
Welcome! We would like to extend a personal invitation for you to visit one of the most advanced periodontal-implant practices in the Houston Metropolitan area. We provide the latest procedures for periodontal regeneration, periodontal esthetic-plastic surgery and dental implants. Our primary goal however, is to make your visit comfortable and stress free.
Periodontics today offers exciting and innovative procedures for saving teeth that just a few years ago would have been lost. These techniques require the utmost in technical skill and knowledge that can only be provided by an experienced and highly trained periodontist. Our technical expertise is at such a high level today that we are able to routinely grow bone back around teeth. This provides new support for the teeth and improves the ability to chew.
Many patients have healthy gums but the appearance of their gums when they smile is unacceptable. Patients may have either too much ("gummy smile") or not enough gum (recession) around their front teeth when they smile. With advanced plastic periodontal procedures, we are now able to create a beautiful gum line.
This patient was dissatisfied with the bulbous, extra tissue around her teeth. Her gum line was uneven and her smile was unattractive and "gummy". Her primary dentist planned to perform cosmetic procedures to give her beautiful teeth. Dr. Heaton performed state-of-the-art periodontal plastic surgery to frame and showcase the new aesthetic restorations.
With periodontal plastic surgery, we removed the excess gum tissue and evened the gum line thus enhancing the appearance of her teeth. She now has a beautiful frame surrounding her pretty teeth.
