Gum Surgery

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. When gum disease progresses or gum-related concerns affect the appearance and function of your smile, gum surgery can help restore both oral health and confidence. From treating advanced gum disease to improving the aesthetics of your gumline, our gum surgery treatments are tailored to your specific needs.

Using modern techniques and a gentle, patient-focused approach, we aim to make gum surgery as comfortable as possible while delivering effective, long-lasting results.

Gum surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to treat gum disease, repair damage caused by periodontal issues, and improve the appearance of the gums. It may be recommended when non-surgical treatments, such as deep cleaning, aren't enough to fully address the underlying problem, or when a patient wishes to improve the aesthetics of their gumline.

• Bleeding or Swollen Gums: Persistent inflammation that hasn't improved with regular cleaning.
• Receding Gums: Gums pulling away from teeth, exposing the tooth root.
• Deep Gum Pockets: Spaces between teeth and gums that trap bacteria and are too deep to clean effectively.
• Loose Teeth: A sign of advanced gum disease affecting the supporting bone and tissue.
• Uneven or Excess Gum Tissue: Affecting the appearance of your smile.
• Persistent Bad Breath: Often linked to underlying gum infection.

Depending on your specific condition and goals, we offer a range of gum surgery procedures, including:

• Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction): Removes bacteria from deep gum pockets and reduces pocket depth for easier cleaning.
• Gum Grafting: Restores gum tissue in areas affected by recession, protecting exposed tooth roots.
• Crown Lengthening: Removes excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth structure, often used before restorative treatment or for cosmetic purposes.
• Gingivectomy: Removal of excess or diseased gum tissue to improve gum health and appearance.
• Bone Grafting: Rebuilds bone lost due to advanced gum disease, supporting long-term tooth stability.
• Gum Contouring: Reshapes an uneven or "gummy" smile for a more balanced appearance.

• Treats Underlying Gum Disease: Removes infection and halts further progression.
• Protects Tooth Stability: Preserves the bone and tissue supporting your teeth.
• Improves Oral Hygiene: Reduced pocket depths make it easier to maintain clean, healthy gums.
• Enhances Smile Appearance: Corrects gum-related aesthetic concerns for a more balanced smile.
• Long-Term Oral Health: Helps prevent tooth loss associated with advanced gum disease.

Recovery time varies depending on the type and extent of the gum surgery performed. Most patients experience mild discomfort or swelling for a few days following the procedure, which can typically be managed with prescribed care instructions and pain relief. We will provide detailed post-operative guidance to support a smooth and comfortable healing process.

Whether you're addressing gum disease, restoring gum tissue, or improving the aesthetics of your smile, gum surgery can help protect your oral health and enhance your confidence.
