About Aesthetic Periodontal & Implant Specialists

Gum tissue is the quiet subject of nearly everything done at this Sonterra Boulevard suite. Dr. Amir Hosseini founded the practice and works alongside Dr. Stephanie Cruz; both are periodontists, meaning specialist training focused on the bone and soft tissue that teeth and implants are anchored in rather than on the teeth themselves. Most patients arrive on referral, after a general dentist finds pockets that will not close, recession that keeps advancing, or a site that needs rebuilding before an implant can be placed there at all.

Two of the techniques offered are worth understanding mechanically before you agree to either. LANAP laser gum treatment passes a laser fibre into the periodontal pocket to remove diseased tissue and bacteria without laying a surgical flap, so there is no scalpel incision and no sutures, and recovery is generally quicker than conventional gum surgery. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique addresses receding gums through a small entry hole instead of a graft: the tissue is loosened and eased down over the exposed root surface, which avoids harvesting a strip from the roof of your mouth. Both have real limits. Pinhole suits certain recession patterns and not others, and no periodontal treatment reliably rebuilds bone that inflammation has already dissolved. The honest goal is arresting the disease and protecting what remains.

The surgical side covers dental implants and implant-supported restorations, ridge augmentation and bone regeneration to prepare deficient sites, surgical extractions and dentoalveolar procedures, gingivectomy, frenectomy, and cosmetic gum recontouring for patients whose smile shows more tissue than tooth. Both intravenous and oral conscious sedation are available, which matters for longer grafting appointments and for anyone who has been putting treatment off out of fear.

The office is at 1130 East Sonterra Boulevard, Suite 120, in Stone Oak, a short hop off Highway 281 in far north San Antonio and convenient from Bulverde, Hollywood Park and the Sonterra corridor. Be aware of the clock: the day begins at 7:30 in the morning and finishes mid-afternoon, which is excellent if you want an appointment before work and unhelpful if the only time you can get away is after five.

Dr. Amir Hosseini and Dr. Stephanie Cruz run a periodontal and implant practice on East Sonterra Boulevard in Stone Oak, treating the bone and gum foundation beneath teeth and implants. LANAP laser therapy handles periodontal pockets without a scalpel or sutures, while the Chao Pinhole technique corrects recession through a small entry hole instead of a palatal graft. Ridge augmentation, bone regeneration, surgical extractions and cosmetic gum recontouring round it out, with IV and oral sedation available. Early hours: 7:30am to mid-afternoon.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does LANAP differ from conventional gum surgery?
Conventional periodontal surgery lifts a flap of gum with a scalpel, cleans the root surfaces and bone underneath, then closes with sutures. LANAP passes a laser fibre into the pocket instead, removing diseased tissue and bacteria without an incision or stitches, and patients usually describe an easier recovery. It is not a cure-all. Severe cases can still require traditional flap surgery or grafting to stabilise the site properly.
Can the pinhole technique fix my receding gums?
Sometimes. The Chao Pinhole Surgical Technique corrects recession through a small entry hole, loosening the gum and easing it down over the exposed root, which avoids taking a graft from the palate. It works well for particular recession patterns and poorly for others, so it is only appropriate after an examination. If active gum disease or a clenching habit caused the recession, that has to be addressed alongside it.
What time of day can I be seen at this office?
The practice runs early. The day starts at 7:30 in the morning and wraps up in the mid-afternoon, which works well if you want treatment before your working day and poorly if evenings are the only time you can get away. Longer procedures such as bone grafting are best booked early in the day, and both intravenous and oral conscious sedation are available for those appointments.

I usually don’t post anything but I had to because the care I received was exceptional! It started with a phone call. I was frustrated and had attitude because there was a mix up with my appointment time. Christina was great! She was kind and considerate and accommodating. Today I met Dr Cruz and she was Amazing. Very thorough in her explanation of my issue and the therapy necessary to treat it. I highly recommend Aesthetic Periodontal & Implant Specialist. And of course Dr Cruz who took care of me with minimal pain!!

Excellent and efficient practice. There is very little wait at the appointment. From check in to check out the staff was very professional and attentive. Dr. Cruz was very thorough in discussing the procedure using words that I can understand. Christina did a fantastic job at discussing the cost and give me options as to what my insurance covers. Laura and Dr. Cruz were very patience with me during the procedure and explained things as the procedure progressed. Dr. Cruz even called me the next day to check on my status. I would definitely recommend Dr. Cruz and her staff to my friends and family.

This was my first visit to this office and I was incredibly impressed with the professionalism of Dr. Hosseini and his entire staff. Desiree welcomed us as soon as we entered and her positive attitude helped make an otherwise anxiety-filled event easier. Tammy was thorough in her explanation of our proposed treatment plan and she — like everyone we spoke to — was patient in answering all of our questions. I left with a clear understanding of my options and their associated costs. Total transparency. Most of all, I appreciate how respectful the staff was of our time. I had a “hard” appointment following this visit and they remained mindful of my time. I highly recommend this clinic and am going into my procedure with the highest confidence that Dr. Hosseini and his staff will deliver the same exceptional service.

Dr. and the dental assistant are both excellent—professional, caring, and great at what they do. I’m very happy with the care I received from the clinical team. However, I’ve had a frustrating experience with the billing and insurance side. It’s been over 7 months since I paid out of pocket, and I’m still waiting for reimbursement from my insurance, even though the treatment was covered. The administrative side has been slow to follow up and resolve the issue, which has been stressful and disappointing. I hope the office improves communication and efficiency when it comes to billing and insurance in the future, because the clinical care truly deserves five stars.

When you are first told that you need implants terror sets in. I had consultations with 2 dentists and left confused and unsure each time. Then Dr Amir Hosseini was recommended to me. From the moment I stepped into their office it was like the gates of heaven opened up for me. Then I met with the doctor..and this man was so much more knowledgeable than the others before him and so very patient..that I knew I had found my guy. I had my surgery, got my implants and could not be happier with my choice! This doctor and his ENTIRE staff are beyond amazing. It was only after the surgery that I goggled the doctors name. I encourage you to do that because what I read greatly explained why I felt such confidence in him plus the staff he has amassed make you feel special and not like just another patient. I know I can only give this team 5 stars but they deserve 10
