• Gum Recession

  Gum recession is when the gum tissue is lost around teeth and/or implants. It can occur on the front, back, and/or sides of a tooth or implant. The result of receding gums is root exposure that can sometimes cause root sensitivity to hot or cold foods or drinks. Aesthetics are also a common concern with gum recession due to a “long tooth” look or “black triangles” in between the teeth. Dr. Holland can treat your receding gum line in Katy TX today, give us a call.

• Gummy Smile

  Someone is said to have a “gummy smile” when a disproportionate amount of gums are shown during smiling. That being said, a normal smile is subjective, and one person’s definition of “gummy” may be different than another’s. Our goal is to help you achieve the type of smile you desire.

• Healthy Gums

  A healthy periodontium (healthy gums) is one where the gums are pink and absent of inflammation (no bleeding gums) and where there is no supporting bone loss. This diagnosis is the ideal situation for all patients.

• Gingivitis

  Gingivitis is inflammation of the gingiva (gums). The signs are similar to healthy gums, except there is some bleeding of the gums. The supporting structures are not affected.

• Peridontitis

  Periodontitis is when the disease progresses from the gums to the supporting structures (bone, periodontal ligament). Bone loss is noted as well as gum recession. If periodontitis progresses quickly or chronically for a long time, tooth loss may occur due to the destruction of bone.

• Implant Crowns

  Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth with strong, durable materials that enhance the smile. Implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth and can be used in conjunction with other procedures, such as crowns, to restore a healthy smile.

• Implant Supported Dentures

  Implant-supported dentures are dentures that are anchored directly to the jaw bone. Implants are posts that are surgically placed in the upper or lower jaw, where they function as a strong anchor for replacement teeth or dentures. Implants are usually made out of titanium. Implant-supported dentures are an option that makes dentures more secure, and are not as costly as replacing each individual tooth with a single implant.

• Implant Bridges

  Dental bridges are natural-looking tooth replacements that help maintain facial structure, reduce stress on the jaw and fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth and rely on surrounding healthy teeth for support. This causes damage to healthy teeth and may lead to future tooth loss.

• Ridge Preservation

  Ridge preservation, also known as socket preservation, is a type of bone grafting. Designed to stimulate bone growth in an empty tooth socket following a tooth extraction, ridge preservation is a type of periodontal surgery. While tooth extraction is normally uncomplicated, at times, particularly following several extractions, bone at the site may collapse, becoming unable to support incoming implants.In such cases, ridge preservation is necessary before dental implantation can successfully take place. The purpose of ridge preservation is to prevent the area from collapsing by establishing enough bone growth to support the implants.

• Sinus Lift

  A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that adds bone to the upper jaw to make room for dental implants. The bone is added between the jaw and the maxillary sinuses, which are located on both sides of the nose. A sinus lift is most often performed on patients who have lost teeth in the upper jaw, or who have lost bone from gum disease or tooth loss.

• Full Mouth Implant Rejuvenation

  Full mouth implants are an option for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth and are seeking to reconstruct their entire mouth for restored function and appearance. Missing teeth can lead to serious dental problems and can significantly inhibit a patient’s ability to eat and speak. Full mouth restoration implants are most often placed with dentures or bridges, providing patients with a restored smile.
