Healthy Gums. Strong Foundation. Beautiful Smile.
Periodontics is the branch of dentistry focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum-related conditions. Healthy gums are essential for overall oral health, and at Dr. Sakina Dental Care Clinic, we provide a range of advanced periodontal treatments to help maintain strong, disease-free gums and a confident smile.
Scaling
Scaling is a non-surgical deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits from the tooth surfaces and beneath the gum line. Regular scaling helps prevent gum disease and keeps your mouth feeling fresh and clean.
Curettage
When gums are inflamed due to periodontal disease, curettage is performed to remove infected soft tissue from the gum pocket, promoting healing and reducing pocket depth. It is often combined with scaling for optimal results.
Flap Surgery
For moderate to severe periodontal disease, flap surgery may be necessary. This involves gently lifting the gums to access deep tartar deposits and thoroughly cleaning the root surfaces. The gums are then repositioned to promote reattachment and healthy healing.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is the surgical removal or repositioning of the frenum—a small tissue band in the mouth—that may cause spacing issues, gum recession, or speech difficulties. This simple procedure enhances both function and aesthetics.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening exposes more of the tooth surface by reshaping or removing gum tissue and bone. It is done to improve aesthetics, treat a “gummy smile,” or prepare a tooth for a crown or restoration.
Gingival Depigmentation
Dark or patchy gums can affect the beauty of your smile. Gingival depigmentation is a cosmetic procedure that lightens and evens out gum color using safe, minimally invasive methods.
At Dr. Sakina Dental Care Clinic, our periodontal treatments are designed to restore gum health and enhance smile aesthetics.
