What is periodontal surgery?
Periodontal surgery is any treatment designed to treat severe gum disease. When gum disease has advanced, gum recession and bone loss around the teeth can develop. These procedures typically involve cleaning infected tissue, reducing pockets of bacteria, and sometimes, reshaping the gums and bone.
At Denta Smile, the team uses advanced periodontal treatments to restore gum health, stop the progression of disease, and improve your mouth’s comfort and function. Periodontal surgery keeps your smile healthy and strong by addressing serious gum issues before they cause harm to your overall health.
Why might I need periodontal surgery?
The Denta Smiles team may recommend periodontal surgery if you:
- Have advanced gum disease that hasn’t responded to nonsurgical treatments
- Experience noticeable gum recession
- Need to repair underlying bone damage
- Experience persistent inflammation, infection, or other gum disease symptoms
- Have deep gum pockets
After a comprehensive periodontal evaluation, the team can help determine whether you’re a good candidate for surgery.
Are there different types of periodontal surgery?
Denta Smiles offers multiple types of periodontal surgery, such as:
Sinus lift
If you lack sufficient bone in your upper jaw, a sinus lift can help. This procedure lifts the sinus membrane and adds bone graft material to support your jawbone.
Tissue grafting
If your gums recede, tissue grafting restores lost tissue. The team takes a small piece of tissue from another area of your mouth or uses donor tissue to cover exposed tooth roots and improve gum health.
Flap surgery
Flap surgery treats advanced gum disease by lifting the gums to clean deep infection and reshape them for better fit. This approach reduces pockets of bacteria and promotes healthier gum tissue.
Bone grafting
Bone grafting can restore your bone structure if you’ve lost support around your teeth. Graft material placed in the affected area encourages new bone growth, providing better support for your teeth or implants.
With the NV® PRO3 Microlaser soft-tissue laser, the team can perform many periodontal procedures without scalpels or needles. This surgical method can result in less pain, downtime, and a lower risk of infection than traditional surgery.
