Our Methods

We provide both non-surgical and surgical approaches depending on the severity of the condition
  • Scaling and Root Planing (Deep Cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar from above and below the gum line.
  • Periodontal Surgery (Flap Surgery) to clean deep gum pockets and reposition gum tissue.
  • Bone Grafting and Guided Tissue Regeneration to rebuild lost bone and encourage tissue healing.
  • Soft Tissue (Gum) Grafting to cover exposed roots and restore gum tissue.
  • Crown Lengthening to reshape gums and bone for functional or cosmetic purposes.

When should you do it?

Periodontal treatment is recommended if you have signs such as bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, gum recession, loose teeth, or deep gum pockets. It is also necessary before some restorative or implant treatments when gum and bone support must be stabilized.
