Flap surgeries

Service Description

Flap Surgery: Advanced Treatment for Gum Disease Gingival Flap Surgery is a specialized procedure to address advanced gum disease (periodontitis) when initial non-surgical treatments, like scaling and root planing, are insufficient. This surgery allows access to the root and bone for thorough treatment and repair. Procedure Overview: 1. Anesthesia: A local anesthetic will be administered to numb the area. 2. Flap Creation: A section of the gums is gently lifted to expose the tooth roots and underlying bone. 3. Cleaning and Repair: The roots are cleaned, and any damaged bone is repaired or reshaped. This may involve smoothing the bone to reduce plaque buildup or grafting new bone to areas of deficiency. 4. Repositioning: The gum flap is sutured back into place and covered with gauze to control bleeding. Bone Treatment: 1. Smoothing and Reshaping: Bone is adjusted to minimize plaque accumulation. 2. Grafting: Bone may be repaired with grafts from your body or synthetic materials to promote bone regeneration. At Smile Speak Dental Clinic, our goal with gingival flap surgery is to restore your gum health and ensure a solid foundation for your teeth.
