With state-of-the-art technology and gentle, precise techniques, we aim to improve your oral health in the most comfortable way possible.

Flap Surgery

Comprehensive Treatment for Advanced Gum Disease

Flap surgery is a highly effective procedure for treating periodontal disease (gum disease) when deep pockets of infection and inflammation form around the teeth. This treatment involves gently lifting the gum tissue to thoroughly clean the roots of the teeth and remove hardened plaque and bacteria. By addressing the underlying cause of gum disease, flap surgery helps preserve natural teeth and promotes gum healing.

Benefits of Flap Surgery

  • Deep Cleaning: Flap surgery allows for thorough cleaning of bacterial deposits below the gum line, reducing inflammation and infection.
  • Promotes Healing: By removing sources of infection, flap surgery allows gums to heal and reattach more closely to the teeth, reducing pocket depth.
  • Prevents Further Bone Loss: Effective treatment of periodontal disease can prevent bone deterioration and support the stability of your teeth.
  • Improves Oral Health and Appearance: Healthier gums contribute to a more balanced smile and reduce the risk of further oral health complications.

What to Expect During Flap Surgery

Flap surgery is a common procedure for moderate to advanced gum disease. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Consultation and Evaluation
    We start with a comprehensive evaluation, including digital imaging, to assess the extent of gum disease and determine if flap surgery is the best option.
  2. Local Anesthesia
    To ensure a comfortable experience, we use local anesthesia to numb the area around your gums.
  3. Gum Flap Access
    During the procedure, the dentist gently lifts a section of your gum tissue to access the roots of your teeth and thoroughly clean below the gum line.
  4. Cleaning and Scaling
    Using specialized instruments, we remove bacteria, tartar, and any damaged tissue, providing a clean foundation for healthy tissue regrowth.
  5. Closure and Healing
    After cleaning, the gum tissue is repositioned and sutured to allow proper healing. Over time, the gums reattach snugly to the teeth, helping reduce pockets and protect against further infection.

Laser Treatment for Gum Disease and Oral Health

Gentle, Precise Treatment for Healthier Gums

Laser treatment is a minimally invasive option for managing gum disease, reducing inflammation, and promoting faster healing. Using advanced laser technology, our team can target and remove infected tissue while leaving healthy tissue intact. Laser treatment is safe, effective, and can even reduce the need for traditional surgery.

Benefits of Laser Treatment

  • Minimally Invasive: Laser treatment requires no incisions or sutures, leading to a more comfortable experience and faster recovery.
  • Reduced Bleeding and Swelling: Lasers minimize bleeding and inflammation, providing a gentler approach to gum disease treatment.
  • Targeted Precision: Laser technology allows us to treat specific areas with precision, reducing the impact on surrounding healthy tissue.
  • Promotes Regeneration: Laser therapy stimulates tissue healing, promoting regrowth of healthy gums and faster recovery.

Conditions Treated with Laser Therapy

Laser treatment is suitable for a variety of oral health concerns, including:

  • Gingivitis and Early Gum Disease: Lasers can effectively treat early-stage gum disease, reducing inflammation and preventing further progression.
  • Gum Reshaping: Lasers are ideal for gum contouring, creating a more balanced, symmetrical smile by gently reshaping excess gum tissue.
  • Cold Sores and Lesion Treatment: Laser therapy is also effective in reducing pain and healing time for cold sores and other soft tissue lesions.

Which Treatment is Right for You?

We personalize each treatment plan to address your unique oral health needs. For patients with moderate to advanced gum disease, flap surgery may be recommended to thoroughly clean and reduce pocket depth. Laser treatment, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive option that can treat gum disease in its early stages or refine the results of flap surgery. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and discuss the best approach to help you achieve a healthier smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Is flap surgery painful?

We ensure patient comfort by using local anesthesia during flap surgery. Some mild soreness or swelling is normal after the procedure, but it usually subsides within a few days. We’ll provide post-operative care instructions to help you manage any discomfort.

  1. What is the recovery time after laser treatment?

Laser treatment typically has a shorter recovery time than traditional surgery. Most patients experience minimal discomfort and can resume normal activities within a day or two.

  1. Will laser treatment work as well as surgery for gum disease?

Laser treatment is highly effective for mild to moderate cases of gum disease. For more advanced cases, we may recommend flap surgery to ensure thorough cleaning and healing.

  1. How can I prevent gum disease after treatment?

Good oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and a healthy diet are essential for maintaining healthy gums. Our team will work with you on a personalized care plan to help prevent gum disease from recurring.
