Periodontist in Richardson, TX



Dr. Israelson Dr. Hilton Israelson is a periodontist, a dentist who specializes in treating the soft tissues and bone surrounding the teeth and in placing dental implants. He has been providing periodontal services to the residents of Greater Dallas since 1981.

He is a Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology, the highest status awarded to a periodontist for knowledge and clinical expertise.

A passion for helping people, along with his brother's example led him to become a periodontist. "My older brother became a dentist and I saw how fulfilling his work with patients was, so I decided to follow his path," he says. "I am honored to be able to help my patients improve their quality of life by improving their oral function and the aesthetics of their smile."

Dr. Israelson's philosophy is to provide the same, excellent care to his patients that he would wish to receive himself. Our patients comment on his kind nature, and how he puts them at ease by fully explaining what will happen in their procedures and answering their questions. They note how precise and gentle he is when giving treatment, and how this inspires confidence.
