Why Did Dr. Louie Decide to Become a Periodontist?

Ever since he was a youngster, Dr. Louie enjoyed tinkering with various items, such as bikes and computers. He liked how intricately complex they were internally, but when properly assembled, they functioned flawlessly.

Likewise, when Dr. Louie was in dental school, he was drawn to the level of attention, detail, and precision required for complex gum, bone, and dental implant surgeries. He wanted to be able to properly address gum disease, since the gums and bone form the foundation for our teeth, which we use every day to eat and smile with. Because Dr. Louie desired to save and maintain his patients’ natural teeth, he decided to become a periodontist.

Care for Younger Patients

Although Dr. Louie primarily works with adults, he also has a soft heart for the young kiddos. Dr. Louie is available to diagnose and treat any early gum or bone issues they may have. He also often removes wisdom teeth from teenagers under IV moderate sedation.

What Does Dr. Louie Treat?

Dr. Louie’s clinical work includes surgical periodontal care, dental implant placement, and related oral surgery.

Dr. Louie performs dental implant placement, including cases ranging from individual teeth to full-arch treatment.

His academic research also focused on titanium implants, which he presented at the Academy of Osseointegration Annual Meeting.

Bone Grafting and Socket Preservation

When periodontal or implant treatment requires additional bone support, his clinical procedures include:

• Bone grafting
• Socket preservation
• Sinus augmentation

Gum Disease Surgery

Dr. Louie performs periodontal surgery, including osseous surgery, for appropriate gum disease cases.

Gum Grafting for Recession

For patients with gum recession, Dr. Louie performs gum grafting to address areas where the gum tissue has receded.

• Lip-tie release
• Tongue-tie release

Wisdom Teeth and Impactions

Dr. Louie treats wisdom teeth cases, including full bony impactions.

Soft and Hard Tissue Biopsies

His clinical scope also includes soft tissue and hard tissue biopsies.

Sedation can be available for appropriate procedures and patient needs.

How to See Dr. Holvin Louie at White Lotus Dental

Dr. Louie sees White Lotus Dental patients through an internal referral process.

Patients begin with their general dentist at White Lotus Dental. When periodontal or surgical care is appropriate, Dr. Karuna Peravali or Dr. Vidyadhari Yarlagadda can refer the patient to Dr. Louie.

The referral process

1. Start with a general dental appointment Your White Lotus Dental dentist first examines your dental and periodontal needs.
2. Internal referral If specialty periodontal or surgical care is appropriate, your dentist can refer you to Dr. Louie.
3. Periodontal consultation Dr. Louie evaluates the specific periodontal or surgical concern and discusses appropriate treatment options.
4. Treatment planning When treatment is recommended, the periodontal and restorative aspects of care can be coordinated with your White Lotus Dental team.

The consultation is complimentary and is not billed to your insurance or charged separately to the patient, according to the practice’s stated process.

Periodontal Care Connected to Your Dental Team

One of the practical advantages of Dr. Louie’s relationship with White Lotus Dental is the ability to coordinate periodontal and restorative care within the same practice environment.

Dr. Louie works on scheduled days at the practice alongside the dentists who provide general and restorative dental care.

This allows the dental team to coordinate treatment using the patient’s available scans and clinical records, helping keep the periodontal and restorative portions of treatment connected.

For patients, the process begins with their White Lotus Dental dentist, who can determine whether a periodontal consultation is appropriate.

A Clinical Example: When Treatment Is Better Done Elsewhere

Not every periodontal procedure needs to be performed at White Lotus Dental.

In one case, Dr. Louie examined a patient and determined that LANAP would be a better treatment option than the osseous surgery available at White Lotus Dental.

LANAP requires specific laser technology that the practice does not have. Because that technology was available at Dr. Louie’s own practice, the patient was treated there instead.

This example provides a practical look at how Dr. Louie’s periodontal expertise can fit into the larger treatment-planning process: when a different setting or technology is needed, the patient can be directed to the appropriate location.

When Might You Be Referred to a Periodontist?

A general dentist may recommend a periodontal consultation when a patient’s needs involve the gums, supporting bone, dental implants, or periodontal surgery.

Dr. Louie’s clinical scope includes:

• Gum disease surgery
• Osseous surgery
• Dental implant placement
• Bone grafting
• Socket preservation
• Sinus augmentation
• Gum grafting
• Crown lengthening
• Frenectomy
• Wisdom teeth and impacted wisdom teeth
• Soft and hard tissue biopsies
• Implant removal
• Sedation for appropriate procedures

A consultation can help determine which treatment approach is appropriate for the individual patient.

Languages Spoken

Dr. Louie speaks:

• English
• Cantonese
• Mandarin

Patients who prefer Cantonese or Mandarin can communicate with Dr. Louie in those languages when discussing their periodontal care.

Outside of the Dental Office, What Does Dr. Louie Like to Do?
