Our first love is that of saving teeth!Periodontal diseaseis thenumber one cause of tooth lossand we are experts in treating periodontal disease with the most successful, time tested methods available today!We have saved countless teeth over many years. Periodontal disease is almost always painless.Just because a persons mouth does not hurt is in no way an indication of health! The chronicinfection progresses slowly over the years resulting in the destruction of the jawbone that provides support for the teeth. Eventually, the teeth get loose, which will lead to tooth loss.There is a very successful treatmentfor periodontal disease, known as pocket reduction treatment andhas stood the test of time, as successful outcomes have been documented for decades.
In those cases where teeth need to be replaced,dental implantsare the closest to natural teeth of all replacement options. We work closely with your general dentist in order to provide you with a successful team approach to your implant treatment.Implants can be used to replaced single teeth or multiple teeth and can be used to anchor partial or complete dentures. It is very common for dentures to be loose fitting and therefore uncomfortable and difficult to chew with.Fortunately, with the addition of implants, dentures can besecure and efficient, and can have a huge impact on ones self-confidence and appearance!
For patients with terminal dentition, teeth in a day or an all-on-4 is a popular term for a treatment procedure used. In these cases, the upper or lower teeth are completely replaced with 4 or more implants using a specific protocol that allows the patient to walk away with teeth that very same day.
Another area of our focus and expertise isperiodontal plastic surgery, orgum graftingand gum re-contouring. Smile-changing procedures can be done to cover exposed roots, reverse progressive recession, decrease sensitivity to cold, and improve a gummy smile.Here at Highlands Ranch Periodontics, we perform hundreds of gum graftingprocedures every year with excellent, smile-changing results.

I am from Dallas, Texas and I flew to Colorado just to have Dr. Mike Norouzinia work on my teeth. I have had such awful experiences with all my dental work until I saw him. I have never had a more professional and knowledgeable dentist than Dr. Mike Norouzinia and his excellent staff. They are non judgmental about what shape your teeth are in. I came in with no tooth and went above and beyond to help me. I will forever be grateful for all his hard work! I will definitely recommend him to anyone I know.
Dr. Mike is extremely professional. He takes the time to listen to his patients and work out a plan that works best for their needs. I was presented with my options and talked through the pros an cons of each decision. I felt empowered to make the best decision possible. I highly recommend using Dr. Mike.
