Surgical procedures performed to treat advanced gum disease or correct cosmetic defects. Common types include Flap Surgery (cleaning deep roots) and Gingival Grafts (replacing lost gum tissue).

Why It Matters

It is the only way to save teeth with deep pockets (>6mm) or severe bone loss. It can also regenerate lost bone and tissue.

Clinical Details

• Flap Operation: The gum is lifted back to visualize and clean the root and bone, then stitched back in place.
