Dental Examination
In most cases, gum grafting can repair the problem, restore your smile and help prevent additional recession and bone loss. There are many types of gum grafts, including using your own gum tissue from another area of your mouth or utilizing donor tissue which has been thoroughly screened and tested to ensure your safety. There are also many different surgical techniques that have been developed for different unique situations, including root coverage procedures without any graft at all! During your consultation, we will perform a comprehensive examination to diagnose your unique circumstance, discuss all your treatment options, work with you to treat your current condition and help you maintain your newly restored smile.

Dental Examination
In most cases, gum grafting can repair the problem, restore your smile and help prevent additional recession and bone loss. There are many types of gum grafts, including using your own gum tissue from another area of your mouth or utilizing donor tissue which has been thoroughly screened and tested to ensure your safety. There are also many different surgical techniques that have been developed for different unique situations, including root coverage procedures without any graft at all! During your consultation, we will perform a comprehensive examination to diagnose your unique circumstance, discuss all your treatment options, work with you to treat your current condition and help you maintain your newly restored smile.
Oral Cancer Screening
During your biannual dental visits, your regular dentist does an oral cancer screening and can use a light to look for anomalies in the areas in and around your mouth. They also touch your head, cheeks, jaw, and in your mouth to feel for unusual nodules or masses. If you have atypical results, the doctors at Perio Health Professionals perform a biopsy to give you a definitive diagnosis.

Teeth Cleaning
Gingivitis can be one of the first signs of infection and gum disease. The build-up of bacteria that is causing the inflammation of your gums is plaque. If the plaque is not brushed away properly it hardens into tartar and calculus, which we cannot remove on our own. The bacteria in the hardened plaque eats away at the connective tissue between your teeth and gums creating “pockets”. At this stage the effects of periodontal disease are still reversible. In some patients, their gum disease is diagnosed early enough to where they can avoid needing gum surgery. Instead their gum disease can be treated with a special deep dental cleaning called scaling and root planing.

Crowns
Crown lengthening (or crown exposure) is required when your tooth needs a new crown or other restoration. The edge of that restoration is deep below the gum tissue and not accessible. It is also usually too close to the bone or below the bone.
Bridges
Restorative Dentistry
Dr. McGuire is a past-chairman of the American Board of Periodontology and was president of the American Academy of Periodontology and the American Academy of Periodontology Foundation. He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Periodontology, the International Journal of Periodontics and Restorative Dentistry, and the International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Implants.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Gingivoplasty reshapes healthy gum tissue around your teeth to make them look better. A gingivoplasty is performed if you have tooth recession where the gums have pushed away from your teeth.
Periodontal Surgery
The specialists at Perio Health Professionals recommend periodontal surgery when your gingivitis progresses and a periodontal pocket develops. A periodontal pocket forms as a result of plaque bacteria accumulating and moving below your gumline.
Deep Cleaning
If your gum disease hasn’t progressed to the point of needing periodontal surgery, the doctors at Perio Health Professionals recommend a deep cleaning. Also called scaling and root planing, this process entails scraping the tartar from above and below your gumline. The dentists at Perio Health Professionals will on occasion use a laser to reduce bleeding, swelling, and discomfort.

Dentures
Whether you were born without several teeth, or lost one or more teeth to injury, decay, disease, or infection, dental implants are a great solution if you don’t want the drawbacks of removable dentures or can’t wear them. The specialists at Perio Health Professionals in Houston will select from a variety of the leading dental implant brands to restore your smile and eliminate the issues associated with tooth loss. Call or reach out to us via e-mail to schedule an appointment to learn how a dental implant procedure can get you back to living your life without pain and embarrassment.

Dental Implants
Over the years, our research department at Perio Health Professionals has grown. Dr. Andrew Rossi, who has added expertise and enthusiasm to our team, joined Dr. McGuire and Dr. Scheyer in 2019. The department now includes our three doctors, two hygienists who serve as clinical coordinators, an international interning dentist, and data-management assistants. Our past trials have explored many focus areas, from biologic tissue engineering to implant placement to esthetic enhancement. Some of our more current trials have looked at a new type of implant, laser periodontal therapy, improved use of enhanced healing material for soft tissue grafts, as well as the effect of an artificial intelligence app on oral hygiene compliance and long-term oral health.

Jaw Surgery
Modern science is making disruptive advancements in medicine and dentistry. Medical breakthroughs such as gene therapy in the treatment of different forms of cancer directly address the underlying problems (i.e., mutated genes) versus compromising results by treating the symptoms or overtreating other issues and masking the disease. In dentistry, Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT) is an advanced procedure that pinpoints the underlying problems of insufficient alveolar bone and compromised arch forms to optimally enhance functional and esthetic concerns. In the past, these issues were frequently ignored, inappropriately treated to lifelong iatrogenic consequences, camouflaged through extraction orthodontics and compensated restorations, or overtreated through orthognathic surgery when it wasn’t a true skeletal problem.
Flap Surgery
Osseous surgery, also referred to as flap surgery, is a procedure often performed to treat advanced periodontitis. When other gum disease treatments have not proven successful at arresting the disease process or the condition is diagnosed in the advanced stage, we may recommend osseous surgery as a treatment option. The goal of this surgical procedure is to rid the mouth of active periodontal infection, preserving remaining bone structure and the teeth it supports. Saving teeth is our ultimate goal, as we work towards helping you create a healthy mouth and body.
Gum Surgery
Osseous Surgery
Osseous surgery is typically performed in quadrants, or sections of the mouth. To begin, we anesthetize the treatment site for maximum comfort, and retract the gum tissue covering the roots and bone, gaining access to deep areas of infection. The tooth roots are cleaned of plaque and tartar deposits and the bone smoothed of any rough surface areas created by bacteria. We then expertly trim infected gum tissue and suture the site for healing to begin.
Tooth Extractions
A simple extraction involves the use of local anesthesia to remove the tooth without pain. An instrument called an elevator loosens the tooth and then forceps help remove it.
Ridge Augmentation
Bone Grafting
Though the most common type of bone regeneration includes the use of your own bone from another area of your body, bone graft particulate from a bone bank may also be used. Synthetic bone grafting materials are also available, including xenograft materials, which are taken from species other than humans, usually cows.
