Secrets Experts Reveal in Periodontist Gum Surgery Consultation

Types of Gum Surgery

There are several types of gum surgery, each addressing specific issues:

• Flap Surgery: This involves lifting the gums to remove tartar and then suturing them back in place to fit snugly around the teeth.
• Gum Grafting: Used to cover exposed roots or add tissue to areas of gum recession.
• Regenerative Procedures: These aim to regenerate lost bone and tissue using membranes, bone grafts, or tissue-stimulating proteins.

Choosing the right type of surgery depends on the individual's condition and the periodontist's recommendations.
