Surgical Periodontal Care
Advanced Gum Disease Treatment with Precision and Compassion
When gum disease progresses beyond the early stages, non-surgical methods may not be enough to restore optimal oral health. Surgical periodontal care involves a range of procedures designed to treat advanced periodontal disease, rebuild lost bone and tissue, and protect the long-term health of your teeth and gums. Our experienced periodontist delivers these procedures using the latest techniques and technology to ensure comfort, precision, and lasting results.
What Is Surgical Periodontal Treatment?
Periodontal surgery involves treatments that go beyond mechanical scaling and polishing. These techniques treat advanced periodontal diseases; they may include excision of infected tissues, alteration of bone contours, reduction of exaggerated deep pockets, and stimulation of renewal for lost bone or soft tissue. The teeth may be surgically treated for implant placement or for a gingival aesthetic concern.
Benefits of Surgical Periodontal Care
- Halts the Progression of Severe Gum Disease: Surgical techniques act on areas that could not be treated by the non-surgical approach. These remove the infection and arrest the destruction of bone and gums.
- Preserves Natural Teeth: By reducing pocket depth and eliminating infection, the surgical treatment can keep the teeth from being lost and prolong the life of their natural teeth.
- Improves Oral and Systemic Health: Treatment of gum diseases will reduce the risks for the patient related to various other health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and stroke
- Restores a Healthier Smile: Such gum reshaping and grafting will not only nice the attractiveness of the gums and the smile but will greatly improve the function.
- Support Dental Implants: Another surgical procedure, such as a bone graft or sinus lifts, to create a stable foundation for the implant while bone loss has occurred.
Types of Periodontal Surgery We Offer
1. Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery)
This treatment involves lifting the gums to remove tartar and diseased tissue from deep periodontal pockets. The gums are then sewn tightly around the teeth to decrease pocket depth and allow healing.
2. Bone Grafting
If the patient loses bone due to gum disease, bone grafting helps regenerate this lost bone using either natural or synthetic graft material. It supports your teeth and gives a good foundation for dental implants.
3. Soft Tissue Grafting (Gum Grafting)
Used to correct gum recession and root exposure, soft tissue grafting consists of taking gum tissue from elsewhere in the mouth and fixing it in the site where gum loss has occurred.
4. Guided Tissue Regeneration
The membrane is placed between the gum tissue and bone to direct new bone and tissue formation where the bone and soft tissue have been damaged by advanced periodontal disease.
5. Crown Lengthening
The cosmetic-functional procedure involved in reshaping the mucosa and bone level provides exposure for colored staining of the tooth. The collapse of the mucosa and bone levels may provide discoloration on the tooth for either aesthetic appearance or for further restoration such as crown or bridge.
