Periodontal health forms the foundation of long-term oral function, aesthetics and wellbeing. Dr Crystal Marruganti provides a comprehensive range of complex periodontal and peri-implant treatments, each designed to restore health, stabilise inflammation and promote predictable, lasting outcomes.
Her approach draws on scientific research, advanced clinical training and an understanding of how oral disease interacts with systemic health.
Periodontal Health & Wellbeing
Periodontal disease is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the gums and supporting structures of the teeth. When left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, mobility, bone loss and eventually tooth loss. Dr Marruganti focuses on the diagnosis, treatment and long-term management of all stages of periodontal disease, from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis.
​
​Her treatment plans are highly individualised, reflecting each patient’s medical history, risk factors, lifestyle influences and biological response to inflammation. Care may include detailed diagnostic assessments, non-surgical periodontal therapy, targeted antimicrobial approaches and long-term maintenance support.
​
Crystal's aim is consistent: to stabilise disease, preserve natural teeth wherever possible and promote long-term periodontal health.
Gum Disease Care
Regenerative Periodontal Surgery
In situations where periodontal disease has caused significant loss of the supporting tissues around teeth, regenerative surgery may be used to encourage the rebuilding of bone and ligament structures. This advanced treatment relies on scientifically validated materials and techniques designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing responses.​
​
​Dr Marruganti uses evidence-based regenerative procedures to improve the prognosis of compromised teeth and create healthier, more stable foundations for long-term oral function.
​
This approach aims to restore structural integrity, reduce disease progression and support overall periodontal stability.
Periodontal Plastic Surgery
A harmonious, stable gumline plays an important role in both oral health and facial aesthetics. Dr Marruganti provides a range of complex soft-tissue procedures designed to enhance appearance, protect vulnerable tooth surfaces and restore balance to the smile.​
​
These microsurgical techniques are carried out with fine detail and precision, ensuring a natural and seamless result.
Gummy Smile Treatment
A gummy smile, where excessive gum visibility alters smile proportion, can often be corrected through carefully planned soft-tissue reshaping. Using minimally invasive surgical approaches, Dr Marruganti refines the gumline to create a more balanced, aesthetically pleasing smile.
​
Treatment is tailored to the individual, taking into account tooth proportions, lip dynamics and underlying periodontal structures.
Gum Lift / Crown Lengthening
A gum lift, also known as crown lengthening, reshapes the gum and underlying bone to reveal more of the natural tooth structure. This may be carried out for aesthetic refinement or to support restorative dental work.
​
Dr Marruganti’s approach combines functional and aesthetic considerations, ensuring the result looks natural and remains healthy long-term.
Gum Grafting / Root Coverage
Gum recession can expose root surfaces, increase sensitivity and affect both function and appearance. Gum grafting procedures are designed to rebuild the protective soft tissues around teeth and restore a stable gumline.
​
Using precise microsurgical techniques, Dr Marruganti performs root coverage and grafting procedures that achieve natural, harmonious results while improving long-term periodontal resilience.
Peri-implant diseases — including peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis — involve inflammation and, in more advanced stages, bone loss around dental implants. Early identification and tailored intervention are essential to maintaining implant health.
Dr Marruganti provides diagnostic assessments and advanced surgical and non-surgical treatment options for peri-implant conditions. Her approach focuses on controlling inflammation, preserving supporting tissues and restoring stability around failing or compromised implants.
Crystal also performs soft-tissue grafting around implants to enhance aesthetics, improve hygiene access and support long-term implant success.
