Dr. Kiran Haseeb
Your Expert in Periodontal Reconstruction for GTR in Islamabad: Dr. Kiran Haseeb
When advanced gum disease progresses, the result is often more than just a surface infection; it becomes a structural crisis. Deep pockets and severe bone loss threaten the stability of every tooth. You deserve a sophisticated solution that doesn't just manage the problem but actively rebuilds what has been lost. This is the realm of Dr. Kiran Haseeb, a celebrated Periodontist in Islamabad, specializing in Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR).
Our core commitment transcends simple care: we meticulously cleanse, restore, and actively regenerate the vital bone and ligament structures. With our thorough, specialized approach, we safeguard your confident smile for the future.
The GTR Principle: Reversing Severe Periodontal Damage
The Science Behind Rebuilding Your Foundation
Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR) is an advanced surgical technique focused on one crucial goal: the strategic rebuilding of lost dental support structures. When periodontitis causes deep bone loss, GTR steps in to address the damage that routine methods cannot touch. If you’re seeking specialized care to truly restore lost bone and gum support, this procedure is considered the most reliable option.
GTR works by utilizing a biocompatible barrier membrane. This membrane acts as a protective shield, precisely placed to block the fast-growing gum tissue cells from entering the defect area. By reserving that space, the membrane allows the slower-growing, essential cells—the bone and ligament cells—the time and opportunity they need to migrate into the area and effectively rebuild the lost tooth support. In most regenerative cases, GTR is combined with a bone graft to provide a crucial scaffold for this new bone growth.
Defining the Need: When is GTR the Right Call?
This highly specialized surgery is not for routine cases; it is reserved exclusively for situations involving structural and severe damage that genuinely threaten the tooth’s long-term viability. The decision to recommend Guided Tissue Regeneration is always based on clinical evidence showing significant loss of the supporting structure.
The procedure is strongly indicated when we find Significant Bone Erosion, which is documented Periodontal Bone Loss resulting from aggressive gum disease. Furthermore, if the patient presents with Persistent Deep Pockets, meaning pockets are so deep they have proven entirely resistant to initial, non-surgical deep cleaning procedures, GTR becomes a necessary tool to access and reverse that structural deficit.
GTR’s application extends to highly specific and critical forms of damage, such as Complex Furcation Defects. This involves specific, critical bone loss occurring between the roots of molar teeth, a condition that absolutely requires precise intervention to save the tooth from extraction. Lastly, GTR is frequently utilized in Pre-Implant Augmentation—the process of utilizing the technique to create the necessary bone volume either prior to, or at the exact time of, dental implant placement to guarantee a strong, stable, and lasting foundation.
Surgical Blueprint: Dr. Haseeb's Approach to Regeneration
Patients often seek clarity on the surgical process. Here is the meticulous, staged approach we follow during your GTR procedure:
Phase 1: Access, Comfort, and Planning
The procedure begins with a detailed Consultation & Assessment using advanced imaging. Your comfort is paramount: gentle Local Anesthesia ensures the entire surgery is pain-free. The surgeon then performs a precise Flap Access procedure, delicately lifting the gum tissue to gain a crystal-clear, unobstructed view of the underlying damaged bone.
Phase 2: Cleaning, Grafting, and Scaffolding
The roots are meticulously Cleaned & Prepared, removing all diseased tissue and bacteria. The pivotal step follows: Barrier Membrane Placement. This thin membrane is precisely positioned to guide the regeneration process. Often, Guided Tissue Regeneration with Bone Graft is performed simultaneously, introducing bone material to physically stimulate and support the growth of the new bone foundation.
Phase 3: Securing the Site for Optimal Healing
The final stage is Closure & Contouring. The gums are carefully repositioned, contoured to their ideal form, and secured with fine sutures. Healing begins immediately beneath the surface, with initial stabilization taking weeks, while full bone regeneration occurs over several months.

Investment, Results, and Lifelong Care
Understanding the Guided Tissue Regeneration Cost
When evaluating the guided tissue regeneration cost in Islamabad, view it as a critical investment in your dental structure’s permanence. The total expense depends primarily on the number of sites treated, the specialized bone graft material used, and the complexity of the procedure required. We provide a transparent, bespoke written estimate following your initial consultation. The true value is secured by choosing an experienced specialist, minimizing risk, and maximizing the chance for long-term bone survival.
Transforming Your Oral Health: The Benefits
Enhanced Structural Longevity GTR offers transformative advantages that go far beyond merely treating an infection. Its core restorative power lies in its ability to directly restore lost bone and gum support. This fundamentally improves the stability of natural teeth and, critically, greatly minimizes the long-term risk of future tooth loss.
Support for Implants The benefits of GTR extend to your restorative work as well. By actively reinforcing the surrounding bone structure where needed, GTR helps extend the lifespan and security of any existing or planned dental implants, ensuring they remain a durable, lasting solution.
Addressing Recession Finally, GTR plays a key role in gum line aesthetics and function. By actively tackling the root structural loss, the procedure provides a solid, regenerated foundation that significantly helps manage and improve the appearance of receding gums, contributing to a healthier and more balanced smile.
Crucial Post-Operative Care
Adherence to care instructions is mandatory for the success of your graft:
- Soft Diet and Medication: Stick to soft foods initially. Any discomfort is usually mild and controlled with prescribed pain medication.
- Hygiene Protocol: Strictly follow the use of prescribed mouth rinses. Never brush the surgical site directly for the first period; gentle cleaning is essential.
- Mandatory Avoidance: To protect the sensitive healing tissue, strictly avoid smoking and alcohol. These habits severely compromise graft survival.
- Follow-Up: Regular monitoring appointments are crucial for suture removal and confirming the successful integration of the regenerated tissue.
