If you notice a change in your bite, swollen or bleeding gums, or receding gums, it could be a sign that you are experiencing the early stages of gum disease. Gum disease has severe consequences, including tooth loss, bone damage, and chronic pain. Left untreated, you can expect multiple tooth extractions, expensive operations, and, eventually, the need for dental implants.
The good news is, if caught early, gum disease treatable, and any damage that has occurred is reversible. If you are experiencing any of the conditions above, contact us today for a periodontalA exam.

A native of Detroit. Alondra's favorite part of her job is seeing patients leave confidently with their healthier smile. Her passion about dentistry has encouraged her to further her education by becoming a Dental Hygienist. Our patients tell us how happy they were to be comfortable and have a pain free experience.
Periodontists specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating periodontal (gum) disease. Gum disease is a result of several factors, including smoking and inadequate brushing and flossing habits. Periodontal disease, left untreated, can result in the deterioration of the gums and bones that support teeth and cause pain and tooth loss.
If you are experiencing a change in your bite, swollen or bleeding gums, or receding gums, it could be a sign that you are experiencing the early stages of gum disease. Luckily most cases of early-stage gum disease are treatable, and symptoms can be reversed. With a combination of professional deep-cleaning and strict adherence to proper dental hygiene, you can restore your smile and preserve your teeth for the rest of your life.
Laser Gum Surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that requires no cutting or stitches or general anesthetic. Using a laser rather than a scapple, periodontists remove infected gum tissue allowing them to access the root of the tooth for scaling and removal of harmful bacteria. The result is a shorter recovery time with less swelling and bleeding.
Teeth sit in the tissue that extends upwards from the gum. Healthy folds of this tissue are typically around 3mm deep. With the onset of gum disease, pockets can grow, making them harder to clean and turning them into the perfect breeding ground for even more bacteria in the form of plaque.
Periodontal pocket reduction surgery is recommended when a patient's pockets are too deep to clean with daily at-home oral hygiene and a professional care routine.During this procedure, a periodontist will fold back the gum tissue and remove the disease-causing bacteria before securing the tissue into place.

I had to get 4 dental implants and I was extremely nervous as I was concerned about the pain and the healing process. Well Dr. Alsaidi and his team put me at ease. They made sure I was comfortable (pain free) during the entire procedure asking if I was ok periodically during the entire time. The healing process has been fine as well. The office not only gave instructions verbally, but they emailed instructions as well (which I found to be very helpful). The doctor reaches out to you himself after the procedure reminding you to reach out to him if needed. Thank you to Dr. Alsaidi and his team for

Dr. Karen Fung and her team epitomize the ideals of patient care. I felt genuinely cared for, starting with my first appointment, through the procedures and finally with the dedicated follow-up. What can only be described as artistry, the skills of Dr. Fung left nothing unsightly or uncomfortable. I would highly recommend her and her team!

The thought of going to a Dental specialists is unnerving. To my joy I found this amazing office surprisingly refreshing and a breath of.fresh air. They treated me like family and made me feel they take my care responsibility and personally. Both the Dr and Hygienist are outstanding... I always feel100% relaxed, comfortable and confident they are doing their best because they are the best. Dr. Alsaidi's extensive credentials substantiate that.
I was referred to them because I needed major gum surgery. So the 1st time I met Dr. Alsaidi and was terrified not knowing what to expect. Dr. Alsaidi's

Dr. Al-Saidi continues to be one of the most conscientious and thorough physicians who provides critical patient care. In addition, he asks and answers clarifying questions to ensure his patients are comfortable with his dental plan of action.
There is little to no anxiety when visiting Dr. Al-Saidi's office. From my view, this level of overall patient comfort helps the entire process to continue moving in a positive direction!

Being in the dental field for over 20 years, I've seen my fair share of dentists, and dental professionals, but I can wholeheartedly say that Dr. Alsaidi is one of the best! His chair side manner is impeccable and his his skill is exceptional. I can honestly say that he is one of the best dentists that I've been treated by.

I’ve had a pleasant experience with Michigan Gum Docs. Dr. Alsaidi did an excellent job on my procedure! He is genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and skilled at his craft. He prepared me very well for what to expect, pre and post surgery. My surgery was quick and painless with no complications. Everything healed perfectly. Also, the staff are always so friendly, professional and accommodating, especially Satrina, the Office Manager! Thank you Michigan Gum Docs Team! Happy client right here!

Went in for a consult and encountered a family. From the front desk to office manager EVERYONE was awesome. The front desk girl was friendly, fast and efficient. My check in process was smooth and fast. After I met with the doctor I sat down with the manager (Trina) she was absolutely the most helpful person I ever met. She was reassuring about my condition letting me know I’m going to be ok and assisted me in seeking financing my big procedure. She was through in explaining my options and even comforted me when I cried. This by far is the BEST office I’ve ever been to. I’m going to refer
