Advanced Treatment for
Severe Gum Disease
Flap surgery is a type of dental surgery that treats issues from gum disease and other periodontal disorders. At Care Dental Clinic we perform flap surgery to expose and treat the underlying tissues of your gums and bones to promote gum disease recovery.
What is Flap Surgery?
Periodontal flap surgery also referred to as flap surgery is a type of surgery performed to address this condition. It is done when other stretching techniques such as scaling and root planing can’t arrest the advancement of the disease. Flap surgery comprises the cutting of the gum to expose the roots of the teeth and the surrounding bones so that they can be cleaned properly.
The Flap Surgery Procedure
Initial Consultation and Examination
A periodontist or dentist examines the state of gums, and pocket probing depth and finds out if there is bone loss due to gum disease.
Scaling and Root Planing
Scaling and Root planning are also referred to as deep cleaning.
Periodontist
A periodontist scrapes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the parts of the tooth roots that can be seen.
Local Anesthesia
Local anesthesia is then employed on the site around the affected teeth and gums to cause analgesia.
Incision and Flap Creation
This surgery requires the surgeon to make an incision on the gum strategically to expose the root of the tooth and the bone below.
Bone Reshaping (If Required)
If periodontitis has led to bone loss then the bone has to be reshaped in a manner that there are no rough edges on the bone
