Central Perio

Merry Grinchmas! This basket is all we need to start the Christmas season. Kudos to Dr. Simon and her staff at for always creating the best baskets.

Addressing a broken tooth in the smile zone is one of the most difficult procedures we do as periodontists 😅. Using more advanced techniques and respecting sound biological principles 💫 allowed us to get the beautiful, natural looking result you see here, and most importantly, keep our patient happy 😁!

Love this result for a lovely patient 😍! She had been avoiding treatment for gum recession for years until her dentist finally convinced her to come in for a consult. Treating all upper teeth using donor tissue and a minimally invasive tunnel approach allowed us to avoid harvesting tissue from the palate and ensured a more comfortable experience with a fantastic result 😃! Complete root coverage and thicker, more stable, and most-importantly, healthier gum tissue achieved ✔️. Picture shows the initial presentation on top and the outcome at 2 months post-op on the bottom.

Today marks our one year anniversary at Central Perio! I am so grateful to my amazing family, team, patients and colleagues who have helped make this long-time dream of mine possible!

Happy to have Dulce, Fernanda, and Sandy along for the ride 🎢

Here are a couple of highlights over the last two years (!) of how it’s going vs how it started:

Big thank you to Dr. Simon and our friends for the beautiful gift basket!
