Specialist Periodontal Care
Every treatment offered by Dr. Najmus Sahar is backed by current clinical evidence, clearly explained before any procedure begins, and tailored to your individual diagnosis — not a standard protocol applied without thought.
Gum disease (periodontitis) is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults — and the majority of cases go undetected until significant damage has occurred. Pyorrhea is the advanced stage, characterised by deep pockets, bone loss, loose teeth, and chronic infection.
Dr. Sahar provides comprehensive diagnosis and treatment across all stages — from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis — using a combination of non-surgical and surgical approaches tailored to the severity of each individual case.
Professional scaling removes calcified bacterial deposits (tartar) that a toothbrush cannot reach — from above and below the gumline. Root planing smooths the root surfaces to prevent bacteria from reattaching. Together, they form the cornerstone of periodontal treatment.
Despite being one of the most misunderstood dental procedures, scaling does not damage enamel. It removes what damages teeth — the bacterial biofilm that causes gum disease, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated.
A dental implant is a titanium root placed into the jawbone, onto which a crown is fixed — creating a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions identically to a natural tooth. Unlike bridges, implants do not require neighbouring teeth to be ground down. Unlike dentures, they do not move.
As a periodontist, Dr. Sahar assesses bone quality and quantity before implant placement — ensuring the foundation is sound before the implant is placed. This specialist assessment is critical to long-term implant success.
When gum pockets are too deep to be treated by scaling alone, surgical access is required. Flap surgery allows Dr. Sahar to fold back the gum tissue, remove diseased tissue, clean the root surfaces thoroughly, and reposition the gums to reduce pocket depth.
Crown lengthening — a related procedure — exposes more of the tooth's surface for restorative or aesthetic purposes. Both procedures are performed under local anaesthesia with minimal discomfort.
Gum recession exposes tooth roots — causing sensitivity, aesthetic concerns, and vulnerability to decay and further bone loss. Root coverage procedures use gum grafting techniques to cover exposed roots and restore a natural, healthy gum line.
Recession is often gradual and painless until significant tissue has been lost — making early assessment and monitoring important. Dr. Sahar evaluates recession carefully before recommending surgical intervention, ensuring it is only performed when genuinely necessary.
Chronic bad breath is most commonly caused by bacterial activity in gum pockets — not the stomach, not diet, and not mouthwash. As a periodontist, Dr. Sahar identifies and treats the underlying cause rather than masking the symptom.
A proper assessment includes examining gum pocket depths, bacterial load, and the degree of periodontal inflammation — addressing the root cause and providing lasting resolution rather than temporary relief.
