Treatments Included In Pearland, TX

Non-surgical Periodontal Treatment/ Deep Cleaning

If your gums present early signs of periodontal disease, such as redness, swelling, or bleeding, you can benefit from a deep dental cleaning. It is a non-surgical periodontal treatment that involves plaque and tartar removal from tooth surfaces above and below the gumline.

Soft Tissue Grafting

Gum recession can occur due to several different factors, including aggressive brushing and periodontal disease. It exposes your tooth roots, increasing the risk of tooth sensitivity and root caries. We can reverse it at an early stage with soft tissue grafting.

Extractions and Bone Grafting

Tooth extraction may become necessary if a tooth is damaged beyond repair. After extraction, the surrounding bone in that area begins to resorb. We can prevent this and preserve your bone structure by placing a bone graft in the extraction socket. Our dentists also use it to replenish the jawbone before implant surgery.

Crown Lengthening/ Gummy Smile

If you are unsatisfied with the appearance of your gummy smile, our Pearland, TX, periodontist can reshape your gums with a crown lengthening procedure. In this technique, we remove the excess gum tissues and contour the gums to enhance the cosmetic appeal of your smile.

Frenectomies

Frenums are small tissues that connect the lips or tongue to the gums. If the frenum tissue is too tight, you may experience speech and eating difficulty. Our dentists can resolve this issue with frenectomy to relieve the tension in the frenum tissues.

Bone Regeneration/Ridge Augmentation

Loss of natural teeth or periodontal disease can cause deterioration of the jawbone. With bone regeneration or ridge augmentation technique, we can maintain the thickness and shape of the bone. It helps improve smile aesthetics and create a solid base for the placement of implants or dentures.

Sinus lift

If you have lost upper molars and are considering dental implants, you may require sinus lifts. In this procedure, we gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone grafts underneath to provide a steady foundation for implants. It improves the success rate of implant surgery.
