Dental Implants
At Dental Implants & Periodontology of Massapequa, we specialize in both non-surgical and surgical solutions to treat every stage of gum disease. When periodontal disease has progressed beyond what non-surgical care can manage, surgical periodontal treatment may be necessary to restore gum health, preserve teeth, and prevent further oral complications.
What Is Surgical Periodontal Care?
Surgical periodontal care includes a range of procedures used to treat advanced periodontal (gum) disease when deep cleaning and maintenance are no longer sufficient. These techniques are designed to eliminate infection, regenerate lost bone and tissue, and improve both health and aesthetics.
These treatments are recommended when gum pockets are too deep to clean with scaling and root planning alone or when gum recession or bone loss is present.
Common Surgical Periodontal Procedures We Offer
Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery)
Another surgical procedure that is performed to remove bacteria and plaque from below the gum surface inside deep pockets formed around the teeth is gingival surgery. The gingival tissue is then repositioned to achieve a snug fit for better healing.
- Bone Grafting: Bone grafting is done in cases where periodontal disease has destroyed supporting bone around the teeth or for the future establishment of dental implants. Grafting regenerates lost bone with either your own tissue or some sort of biocompatible material.
- Guided Tissue Regeneration: A small "barrier" will be used in this procedure, placed between the bone and gum tissue, to allow new bone to grow and prevent the gums from growing into the area too fast.
- Gum Grafting (Soft Tissue Grafts): Gum grafts cover exposed roots due to recession and further loss thereupon. It also improves your smile.
- Crown Lengthening: If you have excess gum tissue or a “gummy” smile, crown lengthening reshapes the gums to expose more of the natural tooth and prepare it for restoration.
