Dr. Mariam Sheikh

Dr. Mariam Sheikh is a dentist at International Dental Hub in Bahria Town, Lahore. She holds a BDS and is an RDS, a registered dental surgeon, with five years of clinical experience. She is certified in clear aligner therapy and dental implants, two areas where careful planning matters most. Her approach combines current techniques with a clear explanation of what each treatment can and cannot achieve.

Clear aligners are removable, transparent trays that move teeth in small planned steps. They suit many cases of mild to moderate crowding, spacing and minor bite problems, though complex cases may still need fixed braces. Dr. Mariam begins with a full examination, photographs, scans and radiographs. She then explains the likely duration and the need to wear the aligners for roughly 20 to 22 hours a day. She also stresses retainer use after treatment to keep the teeth stable.

For missing teeth, she offers dental implants. An implant is a small post placed in the jawbone that fuses with the bone and supports a crown. Before treatment she checks bone volume, gum health and medical factors such as diabetes and smoking, which can affect healing. She plans the procedure carefully and allows time for the implant to integrate before the final crown is fitted.

Dr. Mariam believes good dentistry begins with healthy teeth and gums. She treats active decay or gum disease before aligners or implants, because these treatments need a stable foundation. Patients are encouraged to ask questions, compare options and take time to decide. Consultations are unhurried, with plain language and a written plan before treatment starts.
