  Gum Contouring

  Excessive gum tissue can make your teeth appear short, and an uneven gumline can even make a tooth appear crooked. Cosmetic treatment from Rick H. Heard, DDS, will refine your gumline to improve the appearance of your teeth. Gum contouring is a cosmetic procedure that removes excess gum tissue, giving patients a more balanced smile. Patients who have gummy smiles and teeth that appear too small for their gums will benefit from this cosmetic treatment. After gum tissue is removed, your teeth will be more proportional to your mouth.

  Tooth Extraction

  Ignoring a severe oral problem won't make it go away. If you have any symptoms that point toward a tooth extraction solution, contact us to schedule an appointment with our oral surgeon. Our dentist at Gulf Coast Periodontics in Victoria, TX, will make the procedure a delicate process.

  Scaling and Root Planing

  Scaling and root planing is a non-surgical dental procedure that deep cleans below the gum surface to remove tartar, plaque, and other build-up on the root surfaces that harbor destructive bacteria. In addition to dislodging harmful colonies of bacteria, the tooth roots are smoothed to discourage bacteria from once again getting a foothold. Scaling and root planing are often recommended in the early phases of gum disease as it is the least invasive and most cost-effective method to prevent the progression of periodontitis into more harmful stages.

  Dental Implants

  Whether you are missing just one tooth or several teeth, implant-supported crowns, bridges, and dentures allow you to once again speak clearly, eat the food you love, and smile with confidence.
