Gum Flap Surgery (Periodontal Surgery)

About Gum Flap Surgery (Periodontal Surgery)

At Toothy’s Dental Solutions in Hyderabad, we use advanced techniques and modern equipment to perform gum flap surgery with precision and care. Our specialists carefully evaluate gum health before recommending the procedure.

During the procedure, infected tissue is removed, and the roots of the teeth are thoroughly cleaned. In some cases, bone reshaping or regeneration may be performed to restore proper support for the teeth.

Gum flap surgery helps reduce pocket depth, prevent further bone loss, and improve overall gum health. It is an effective solution for controlling advanced periodontal disease and preserving natural teeth.

Our experienced dental team ensures a comfortable and safe treatment process with proper anesthesia and post-operative care. With good oral hygiene and regular follow-ups, patients can maintain long-term gum health.
