Gum Surgery

Sometimes, periodontal or gum surgery may be needed to treat certain gum diseases and conditions, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. The procedure will treat the gum disease and any damage it may have caused by allowing for the regrowth of damaged bones and tissues.

Gum surgery is a form of dental surgery that prevents or corrects traumatic, anatomical, developmental, or plaque-induced defects in the bone, gingiva, or alveolar mucosa. The objectives of this surgery include the accessibility of dental instruments to address the root surface, the elimination of inflammation, the creation of an oral environment for plaque control, periodontal diseases control, oral hygiene maintenance, maintain proper spacing, address either gingiva or alveolar mucosa problems, and aesthetic improvement for cosmetic reasons.
