Treatment of Periodontal Disease
Treatment of Periodontal Disease
The treatment of periodontal disease is carefully tailored to the severity and progression of the condition. Early stages often respond well to non-surgical therapies, while advanced cases may require specialized surgical intervention.
Non-surgical treatments primarily include scaling and root planing, a deep-cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar deposits from below the gum line, smooths the tooth roots, and eliminates bacterial toxins. This approach helps to reduce inflammation and promote reattachment of the gums to the teeth.
When periodontal disease has caused significant tissue and bone loss, surgical treatments become necessary. These procedures may involve flap surgery to access and thoroughly clean deep periodontal pockets, bone grafting to regenerate lost bone, and soft tissue grafts to restore gum coverage. Surgical intervention aims to eliminate bacteria, reduce pocket depths, and rebuild the supporting structures around the teeth.
Led by the expertise of Dr. Fahad Zafar, a European Board-Certified Periodontist, the treatment plan is designed to reduce infection, stabilize loose teeth, and encourage tissue regeneration wherever possible. The goal is to restore periodontal health, improve oral function, and preserve your natural teeth for the long term.
With a combination of advanced diagnostics, evidence-based therapies, and ongoing maintenance care, patients receive comprehensive support on their journey to optimal gum health and a confident smile.
