Peridontal Gum Surgery

Gum surgery is a specialized periodontal procedure that involves carefully lifting the gum tissue to access and clean deep pockets of infection that cannot be reached through non-surgical methods like scaling or root planing.

It allows the dentist to:

• Remove tartar and bacterial buildup deep below the gums.

• Smooth and reshape damaged bone.

• Repair or regenerate bone and tissue if required.

• Reposition gums for healthier attachment around the teeth.

The result is a significant reduction in pocket depth, better gum health, and improved long-term tooth support.

Gum surgery is recommended when:

• Gum pockets remain deep even after root planing.

• You have advanced periodontitis with bone loss.

• Teeth feel loose or mobile due to weak support.

• Gum recession has exposed tooth roots.

• Persistent swelling, bleeding, or infection is present.

• You wish to preserve natural teeth rather than extract them.
