Service

Indications

Manual Scaling and Root Planing

Removal of plaque, tartar, and debris from tooth surfaces and root surfaces in cases of gingivitis or mild periodontitis.

Ultrasonic Scaling and Root Planing

Advanced cleaning using ultrasonic devices for deeper plaque removal in cases of moderate to severe periodontal disease.

Splinting

Stabilizing mobile teeth due to advanced periodontitis or trauma.

Subgingival Curettage

Removal of inflamed tissue below the gumline in cases of periodontal pockets.

Gingivoplasty / Gingivectomy

Reshaping or removing excess gum tissue to treat gingival hyperplasia or improve aesthetics.

Frenectomy

Removal of an abnormal frenulum attachment causing diastema or restricted movement of the lip/tongue.

Flap Surgery

Treatment of advanced periodontitis, providing access to deep periodontal pockets for cleaning and repair.

Crown Lengthening

Exposing more of the tooth structure for restorative purposes or improving the appearance of a gummy smile.

Operculectomy / Epulis Excision

Removal of excess gum tissue over an erupting tooth or excision of benign gum growths.

Depigmentation

Removal of dark pigmentation from the gums for cosmetic reasons (non-laser).

Mucogingival Procedures (Periodontal Plastic Surgery)

Treatment of gum recession or other defects affecting the gum tissue and bone.

Drainage of Abscess

Treatment of periodontal or periapical abscesses to relieve infection and pain.

Ridge Augmentation

Rebuilding the alveolar ridge after tooth loss to improve aesthetics and function.

Resective Osseous Surgeries

Removal of damaged or overgrown bone in cases of advanced periodontitis.

Extraction and Socket Preservation

Tooth extraction with procedures to preserve the socket for future implant placement.

Advanced Surgical Procedures using Laser

Minimally invasive periodontal surgeries for tissue removal or pocket reduction.

Piezosurgery-Micro Surgery-Electrocautery

Precision surgeries involving bone cutting or soft tissue removal with minimal trauma.

Bone Graft Surgical Procedure

Replacing lost bone to restore support for teeth or implants in cases of periodontitis or trauma.

Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) with Membrane

Encourages bone and tissue regrowth in areas affected by periodontitis using a membrane barrier.

Dental Implant Surgery

Placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth.

Indirect Sinus Lift Procedure

Lifting the sinus membrane to create space for implant placement when there is limited bone height.

Direct Sinus Lift Procedure

Directly accessing the sinus cavity to augment bone for implant placement in cases of severe bone loss.

Implant Prosthesis

Placement of prosthetic crowns or bridges on dental implants.

Local Drug Delivery

Application of antimicrobial agents directly into periodontal pockets to reduce infection.

Root Biomodification

Chemical treatment of root surfaces to enhance attachment of soft tissue during periodontal surgery.
