Periodontal Health Center

What Periodontal Health Center does

Periodontal Health Center is a privately held periodontal specialty dental practice operating two offices in the Tampa Bay area of Florida — a primary location at 1741 W Fletcher Ave, Tampa (founded 1977) and a second office at 5149 Deer Park Dr, New Port Richey (added 1979). The practice is staffed by three board-certified periodontists (Dr. Jessica Stilley-Mallah, Dr. Camille Medina, Dr. Armita Mashkouri) — all Diplomates of the American Board of Periodontology — supported by dental hygienists, surgical assistants, and administrative staff, with many team members holding 20+ years of tenure. Owner Dr. Stilley-Mallah succeeded founder Dr. Steven Lieber, joined the practice in 2008, and was appointed by Governor Ron DeSantis in 2025 to the Florida State Board of Dentistry.

The clinical offering spans surgical, non-surgical, and laser-based periodontal therapy — scaling and root planing, LANAP (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure using an Nd:YAG laser), Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation, periodontal plastic surgery, pocket reduction, and regenerative surgery using PRP, bone grafts, and Gem 21s/AminoSpark growth factors — alongside dental implants (single, bridge, and implant-supported dentures with pre-implant bone grafting and sinus augmentation), IV conscious sedation, occlusal therapy, BOTOX/neuromodulators for TMJ, migraines, gummy smile, and cosmetic indications, and Cone Beam CT (CBCT) 3D diagnostic imaging. The practice is trilingual (English, Spanish, Farsi) and operates under HIPAA with FDA-approved LANAP protocols.

Commercially, Periodontal Health Center runs a fee-for-service model in which patients pay directly or via dental insurance (claims filed by the practice as a courtesy), supplemented by Cherry Financing for out-of-pocket and high-ticket implant/BOTOX cases. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via NexHealth online booking, the practice website, content/SEO across dozens of Tampa Bay service-area pages, and active Facebook/Instagram/YouTube presence; plus a formal referring-dentist channel serving general dentists in Hillsborough, Hernando, and West Pasco counties with downloadable referral forms and a 3-day emergency referral guarantee. Customer segments are dominated by adults with periodontal disease (47% of US adults 30+ per NIH), patients needing dental implants, and a secondary cosmetic/therapeutic segment for BOTOX, Pinhole gum rejuvenation, and esthetic crown lengthening.

Products and services

• Scaling & Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) Non-surgical first-line gum disease treatment that deep-cleans below the gumline to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from tooth roots and smooths root surfaces to promote gum reattachment. Performed under local anesthetic with optional nitrous oxide in 1–2 hour visits for adult patients with gingivitis or early periodontitis.
• Periodontal Maintenance Post-treatment monitoring and cleaning program performed every three to six months to preserve bone and gum tissue, measure pocket depths, and prevent progression of periodontal disease after scaling and root planing or other therapy.
• Dental Implants Titanium-root tooth replacement service offering single-tooth implants, implant-supported bridges, and implant-supported dentures (2–8 implants per arch). Includes pre-implant bone-support procedures such as socket preservation, guided bone regeneration (GBR), ridge splitting, and sinus augmentation for adults missing one or more teeth.
• BOTOX / Neuromodulators Therapeutic and aesthetic injectable service for wrinkles, gummy smile, teeth grinding/clenching, TMJ syndrome, and migraine relief, administered by board-certified periodontist Dr. Camille Medina. Effects appear within 7–14 days and last 3–4 months.
• LANAP Laser Treatment (Laser Assisted New Attachment Procedure) Minimally-invasive, FDA-approved laser protocol for treating periodontitis using an Nd:YAG laser that vaporizes bacteria and diseased tissue, then seals the site with a clot for regeneration. Requires practitioner hands-on training and leaves no sutures, providing an alternative to traditional flap surgery.
• Periodontal Plastic Surgery Cosmetic and functional soft-tissue procedures including Autogenous Gingival Grafts, Connective Tissue Grafts, and Esthetic Crown Lengthening to correct gummy smiles, treat recession, reduce sensitivity, and improve gum aesthetics.
• Periodontal Pocket Reduction Surgery (Flap and Osseous Surgery) Surgical procedure that separates gum tissue from bone to access and reshape underlying bone, reducing pocket depths so patients can maintain them with normal brushing and flossing.
• Pinhole Gum Rejuvenation Minimally-invasive gum recession treatment that uses a specialized needle to create small entry holes through which gum tissue is released and stretched over exposed roots, stabilized with collagen strips. Eliminates the need for a second surgical harvest site.
• Periodontal Regenerative Surgery Advanced bone-restoration procedures including Guided Tissue Regeneration (membrane barriers), Bone Grafts (autogenous, synthetic, or tissue-bank sources), and Tissue Engineering using growth-factor products (Gem 21s, AminoSpark) and Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) processed in-office from patient blood.
• Periodontal Surgery for Orthodontics Adjunctive procedures performed in coordination with an orthodontist, including canine exposure surgery to bond an orthodontic button to an impacted tooth, as well as extractions to make space for braces or Invisalign.
• IV Conscious Sedation Intravenous sedation service using a catheter-administered sedative to keep patients relaxed and responsive during periodontal surgery, providing comfort and amnesia of the procedure. Includes pre- and post-sedation patient instructions.
• Occlusal Therapy Bite-adjustment treatment using occlusal night guards to evenly distribute bite forces and, where bone loss or loosening has occurred, splinting adjacent teeth to allow bone and ligament healing.

• Heartland Dental: Largest U.S. dental support organization supporting thousands of doctors across general and specialty dentistry. Relevant as a broad incumbent that aggregates specialty case flow and competes for both patients and associate periodontists in Florida.
• Sonrava Health: Multi-specialty dental group encompassing general dentistry, periodontics, orthodontics, and oral surgery across multiple states. Comparable as a roll-up platform that could view Periodontal Health Center as a tuck-in acquisition in the Tampa market.
