A Northville Periodontal Office Built Around Conservative Care
At The Practice of Periodontist Samir Zakaria, DDS, MSD, patients in Northville, MI receive periodontal and dental implant care from a board-certified specialist who believes surgery should always be a last resort, not a first option. Every treatment plan starts with the least invasive approach that will actually solve the problem.
Request an AppointmentOur Approach to Periodontal Health
Dr. Samir Zakaria has focused exclusively on periodontal treatment and dental implants since 1992. That single-specialty focus shapes how the entire practice operates: conservative non-surgical periodontal therapy is used whenever it can achieve the result, and surgical care is reserved for the cases where it’s genuinely necessary. Even when surgery is required, many patients benefit from non-surgical therapy first to improve tissue quality and reduce the areas that need surgical attention.
This philosophy carries through every service offered at the practice, from routine scaling and root planing to more advanced procedures like gum grafting, osseous surgery, and bone grafting for dental implants.

What does a periodontist do that a general dentist doesn’t?
