Periodontal Surgery

Our dentist and team are dedicated to providing our patients with comprehensive dental care, including advanced treatments for periodontal (gum) disease. Periodontal surgery is a key component of our services, designed for patients experiencing advanced stages of gum disease that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods alone. Our commitment to your oral health includes offering specialized surgical options to effectively address and manage periodontal disease, aiming to restore the health of your gums and prevent tooth loss.

Periodontal surgery encompasses various procedures tailored to the specific needs of each patient, depending on the severity and type of gum disease. These surgeries aim to remove infection, regenerate lost bone and gum tissue and reshape the gums to make them easier to clean. Our goal is to halt the progression of periodontal disease and improve the overall condition of your oral health.
The process of periodontal surgery at our practice involves several critical steps:

• An initial comprehensive evaluation to diagnose the extent of periodontal disease and plan the most effective surgical approach.
• The periodontal surgery itself, which may include pocket reduction procedures, regenerative procedures to encourage bone and tissue growth, or gum grafting to cover exposed roots and reduce sensitivity.
• Local anesthesia or sedation is used during the procedure to ensure patient comfort and minimize pain.
• A period of recovery and healing, during which we provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to ensure optimal healing and reduce the risk of complications.

Benefits of periodontal surgery include:

• Effectively addressing deep pockets of infection and areas of bone loss, reducing the risk of further damage and tooth loss.
• Improving the ability to clean the teeth and gums, thereby enhancing oral hygiene practices and preventing the recurrence of periodontal disease.
• Reducing gum recession and sensitivity by reconstructing and reshaping the gum tissue around the teeth.
• Enhancing the appearance of your smile and the health of your mouth, contributing to better overall oral health and well-being.
