How We Treat Periodontal Disease
Pinhole Surgical Technique™
Say goodbye to scalpels and stitches. The Pinhole Surgical Technique™ is a minimally invasive gum restoration method that treats recession without incisions—just a tiny entry point to gently reposition the gum tissue. It delivers fast healing, natural-looking results, and less downtime than traditional grafting.
Laser Treatment
LANAP® is the only FDA-cleared laser treatment for gum disease. This gentle, targeted procedure removes harmful bacteria while preserving healthy tissue—offering a safer, less invasive alternative to traditional surgery.
Gum Grafts
Dr. Friedberg offers a range of gum grafting techniques to restore receding gums caused by periodontal disease, genetics, or trauma. These procedures help rebuild your gumline, protect tooth roots, and enhance your smile’s health and appearance.
Crown Lengthening
When there isn’t enough exposed tooth to properly support a crown, crown lengthening may be needed. This precise procedure reshapes the gum and bone tissue to prevent decay, improve crown stability, and support long-term oral health.

What should I bring to my first appointment?
Bring your dental card, a valid photo ID, a list of current medications, and any recent dental X-rays or records from your dentist. Dr. Friedberg and Associates also recommends bringing a list of questions or concerns about your gum health to discuss with our periodontist.
What should I expect during my first visit?

Our Houston practice invests in the latest periodontal equipment to provide accurate diagnoses and comfortable, effective treatment.
What is the difference between a dentist and a periodontist?
A periodontist completes three additional years of specialized training beyond dental school, focusing exclusively on preventing, diagnosing, and treating gum disease and placing dental implants. Dr. Friedberg and Associates in Houston, TX provides expert periodontal care for conditions that require specialized knowledge beyond general dentistry.
Can periodontal disease be reversed?
Early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be completely reversed with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene, but advanced periodontitis causes permanent damage that requires ongoing management. The experienced periodontists at Dr. Friedberg and Associates can stop disease progression and help you maintain healthy gums with proper treatment.
What are the first signs of periodontitis?
The first signs include bleeding gums when brushing or flossing, red or swollen gums, gums pulling away from teeth, persistent bad breath, and loose teeth. If you notice any of these symptoms in Houston, schedule an evaluation at Dr. Friedberg and Associates for expert periodontal assessment and treatment.
How painful is periodontal treatment?
Periodontal treatment at Dr. Friedberg and Associates causes minimal discomfort because we use local anesthesia and advanced techniques to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure. Most patients experience only mild soreness for a few days afterward, which is easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
