Gum & Periodontal Surgeries procedure

Our periodontist will first remove all plaque and tartar (calculus) from around your teeth and make sure that your oral hygiene is good.

He or she will also determine whether your general health allow for a surgical procedure to be carried out. Before the procedure starts, you will be given a local anaesthesia to numb the area. After that periodontist will use a scalpel to separate the gums from the teeth and then lift or fold them back in the form of a flap. Then roots of your teeth will clean or repair the damaged bone if required. Your bone defects may be eliminated with a procedure called osseous recontoring, which smoothens the edges of bones. After these procedures are completed, the gums will be placed back against the teeth and anchored in place using stitches.

Gum Surgery Recovery

After the periodontal surgery, usually it takes only few days to recover. By following the homecare instructions completely, you can expect a speedy recovery from the gingival flap surgery. Our dentist will prescribe you pain killers to reduce the pain. It is important to keep your mouth clean during the healing period.
