What is Gum Surgery?

Gum surgery encompasses various procedures designed to treat gum disease and its effects, such as gingivectomy, gum grafting and flap surgery. These treatments are tailored to address specific conditions ranging from excessive gum recession to deep periodontal pockets. 

Benefits of Gum Surgery:

  • Disease Management: Helps control the progression of periodontal disease.
  • Aesthetic Improvements: Can enhance the appearance of your smile by reshaping the gum line.
  • Prevention of Tooth Loss: Aims to stabilize the condition of the gums, protecting against tooth loss associated with advanced gum disease.

Types of Gum Surgery:

  • Pocket Reduction Procedures: Involves folding back the gum tissue and removing disease-causing bacteria before securing the tissue into place.
  • Regenerative Procedures: Encourage the regeneration of lost bone and tissue.
  • Gum Graft Surgery: Covers exposed roots or develops gum tissue where absent due to excessive gingival recession.
