Dr.Garcia added to my gum around the implant as it was pulling away. As far as I know it is doing good now. He is doing a follow up with the implant to cover space with the next tooth that easily collects food. Dr Garcia and his staff are very pleasant.

I saw a sign once: you don't have to floss all your teeth, only the ones you want to keep! Thanks so much to Dr. Hood and all the staff at South Texas Periodontics & Implants for helping me save my teeth!

About South Texas Periodontics & Implants
South Texas Periodontics & Implants is a periodontal specialty practice located on South Staples Street in Corpus Christi, Texas, serving patients throughout the Corpus Christi area. The practice focuses on gum disease treatment, dental implant placement, and full mouth tooth replacement, including All-on-4 and full-arch implant solutions for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in an arch. Patients are typically referred by a general dentist for implant placement or periodontal care, and the office works alongside those dentists throughout treatment.
The practice is led by a team of periodontists who evaluate each patient's bone density, gum health, and overall oral health before recommending an implant plan, since these factors affect whether someone qualifies for procedures like All-on-4 right away or needs preliminary treatment first. Beyond implants, the office also provides services such as tooth extractions, oral biopsies to screen for concerns like oral cancer, and ongoing periodontal maintenance. Patients considering dental implants at this location can expect a consultation focused on their specific bone and gum condition before any surgical plan is finalized.
