Services offered at Texas Periodontal Associates
Cosmetic Periodontal Surgery
Root Coverage | Microsurgery | Interdental Enhancement | Pre-Prosthetic
To help our patient feel and look great, cosmetic periodontal surgery
can be done to cover exposed root surfaces and prevent gum recession.
Other procedures remove excessive tissue to improve your gums architecture
and aesthetic appearance. If you are unhappy with the appearance
of long or short teeth, this can be greatly improved by a combination
of periodontal procedures by Dr. Porras.
Cosmetic Procedures include:
Root Coverage Procedure
In Root Coverage we take gum tissue from the palate to assist in
coverage of the exposed root.
A patient that has a Dental Implant or more Dental Implants placed
or that has excessive gingival recession can have Root Coverage
Surgery done. Soft tissue grafts are used to cover roots and to
create a natural look. We cover exposed roots to protect them from
decay and reduce tooth sensitivity. This in turn improves the esthetics
of your smile as well.
Microsurgery
Due to the small size of instruments used
here, we can perform surgery with less surgical opening, minimal
tissue and patient trauma. It allows more precise closure of the
surgical areas which makes the recovery virtually painless.
Interdental Enhancement Procedure
Pre-Prosthetic Procedure- In order to give a total lift
to the gums or to reshape them, Dr. Porras uses this laser procedure
to do that.
What is Periodontal Disease | Periodontal Treatment
Periodontal diseases are bacterial infections of the gums and the bone that surrounds the teeth. They are caused mainly by the accumulation
of bacteria called plaque. If not treated right away, the teeth themselves
can be affected.
Single Tooth Replacement | Multiple Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are a better solution to the problem of missing
teeth. An artificial tooth root is placed into the jaw to hold a
replacement tooth or bridge in place as to provide patient comfort,
function and esthetics.
Intravenous (IV) Conscious Sedation
This is sedative drugs that we directly inject into the vein providing a very effective and safe patient management technique.
Root Coverage | Microsurgery | Interdental Enhancement | Pre-Prosthetic

Bone Regeneration | Sinus Augmentation | Ridge Augmentation
We can predictably grow bone and the attachment to your teeth
back after it is lost to periodontal disease.

Maintenance
Non - surgical periodontal treatments are available for patients
with mild to moderately severe forms of periodontal disease. Most
patients in the first two stages and some patients in the third
stage can be treated without surgery.
Growth factor Supplementation
The use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a concentrated suspension of the growth factors found in platelets is involved in wound healing and as promoters of tissue regeneration.
