This specialty focuses on the prevention, diagnosis & treatment of periodontal disease (gum disease) that destroy the gums and other supporting structures around the teeth
Periodontal flap surgery
In advanced gum disease, the periodontal ligaments & bone tissue that surround the teeth are destroyed. periodontal pockets are ideal space for harmful bacteria to proliferate which can cause inflammation, bleeding gum, periodontal tissue damage, and pain. periodontal flap surgery will eliminate or reduce these pockets and help for the regeneration of periodontal tissues.
Frenectomy
Frenectomy is a simple oral surgical procedure that eliminates the presence of excessive force exerted by which frenum causes large space between teeth, & gum recession.
Gingivectomy
It is a simple oral surgical procedure done in cases where there is a discrepancy between the clinical crown length & anatomical crown length. Gingivectomy helps to improve the aesthetic value of your smile.
Root planing
Root planing is done to clean out the gum ‘pockets’ & remove plaque and tartar from the tooth roots. It helps in smoothing of the surfaces of the roots by removing cementum / dentin that is impregnated with calculus, toxins or microorganisms.
Periodontal surgical bone grafting
A bone graft is surgically placed in the areas where bone should be, which encourages the body to rebuild the areas lost due to periodontal disease.
