Meet Deborah Hohn, D.D.S.
Dr. Deborah Hohn graduated with honors in 1982 from the University of Texas Dental Branch in Houston. She was elected into Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the National Dental Honor Society, her senior year. After being on faculty at the Dental School for two years, she began a residency in the Department of Periodontics and received her certificate in Periodontics in 1986. Since graduation, she has maintained a private practice primarily in the Baytown, Texas area.
Dr. Hohn is an active member of numerous professional organizations, such as:
- The American Academy of Periodontology
- The Houston Society of Periodontology
- The American Dental Association
- The Texas Dental Association
- The Houston District Dental Society
She has been active in the various organizations and has held office and committee positions.
Dr. Hohn has continued her education by attending surgical courses to advance her knowledge and to keep current with the latest surgical techniques and trends. She is a graduate of the Misch Implant Institute.
Her major areas of interest are in the treatment of periodontal diseases, especially with the current research linking this disease to other health systems, such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and respiratory diseases. Other areas of interest are dental implants, bone grafting and tissue grafting.
Dr. Hohn is married and she and her husband have four children.
"During my years of practice, it has become evident that oral diseases can significantly impact a person's health and well-being. It is exciting to be able to take a part in improving a patient's oral and physical health through periodontal treatment. Also with the advances in regeneration, we are able to literally 'rebuild' lost gum tissue and bone and with dental implants replace missing teeth and help fit loose dentures. It truly is a wonderful time to be in the field of dentistry!"
