Flossing isn’t always enough.

Proxabrushes are designed to clean the spaces between your teeth by helping remove trapped food and soft plaque — especially in areas where there’s more room between the teeth.

But they don’t replace floss.

Floss is designed to clean underneath the gumline, while a Proxabrush helps clean the space between the teeth. That’s why, for many patients, both can be an important part of their home care routine.

The key is using the right size.

Start small, move up only if the brush passes comfortably, and never force it into the space.

At Cook Periodontics, if a Proxabrush is recommended, the team will show you exactly how to use it and which size is right for you.

Small changes in your daily routine can make a big difference in your gum health.

What drew Dr. Banson to periodontics wasn't just the procedures — it was the chance to walk alongside patients for their whole oral health journey.

Whether it's placing one implant for function, restoring a smile for confidence, or helping someone get their gum health back on track — every case is personal.

"It's team-focused, team-centered... it's not any kind of hierarchy."

From the moment you call our office through treatment and every follow-up after, you'll see the same faces — because at Cook Periodontics, that continuity of care is the point.

Ever wonder what those numbers mean during your exam? 🦷

"Two, three, four... four, five, six." Our patients hear it every visit — but here's what it actually means.

We're measuring the bone level around your tooth using a probe with tiny millimeter markings. Think of it like this:
✋ Our hand = the crown of the tooth
🦴 Our wrist = the root
👕 Our sleeve = the tissue around the tooth

As we walk the probe around the tooth, we're checking the sulcus (the space between tooth and gum) to find the bone level — and if there's any recession, we measure that too.

Together, those numbers tell us the total clinical attachment of the tooth — basically, how stable it is.

It's not just numbers. It's the story of your gum health.

Lots of doctor time. That's what sets us apart.🦷

At Cook Periodontics, you'll notice something right away — our doctors are always in the office. Thorough exams, comprehensive dental plans, real attention to your care.

Dr. Banson's path to Cook Periodontics actually started years ago. After dental school, she completed her residency at the University of Texas at San Antonio — the same program Dr. Deana Cook trained through. They met when she came back to lecture on practice management and clinical cases, and stayed in touch ever since.

"Since we came from the same program and got trained by roughly the same faculty members... our treatment philosophy and treatment planning are very consistent and similar."

That shared foundation means one thing for our patients: consistent, cohesive care, no matter which doctor you see. 🤍

25 Years Later, We Remember.

Today, we pause to remember September 11, 2001, and the lives forever changed that day.

We honor the nearly 3000 innocent lives lost, the brave responders who ran towards danger, the countless heroes who served and sacrificed, and the families who continue to carry their loved ones in their hearts.

Twenty-five years later, we remember their courage, their strength, and the extraordinary spirit of unity that brought our nation together.

From all of us at Cook Periodontics, we remember, we honor, and we will never forget.

Real patient, real words — no script, no edits.

She told us she was nervous. So two team members came in, one by one, just to talk to her, make her laugh, and help her relax before the procedure even started.

Because at Cook Periodontics, calming your nerves is part of the treatment plan — not an afterthought.

"I would highly recommend this practice... they just put me so much at ease that I highly recommend them to anyone."

That's the goal, every time. 💙

A sinus lift and an implant - same visit, one procedure.

Not enough bone is the most common reason people get turned down for dental implants. It isn't always the final answer.

Save this if you or someone you know has been told no because of bone loss.
