At DFC – DentoFacial Dental Clinic, we provide advanced Gum Disease Treatment & Periodontal Flap Surgery to restore healthy gums and protect your natural teeth from the effects of advanced periodontal disease. When deep gum infections cannot be treated with routine cleaning alone, periodontal flap surgery allows our specialists to thoroughly remove harmful bacteria, infected tissue, and tartar from beneath the gum line. Using modern diagnostic technology and minimally invasive techniques, we help preserve your teeth, improve gum health, and prevent further bone loss.

What is Periodontal Flap Surgery?

Periodontal Flap Surgery is an advanced gum treatment performed to manage severe periodontal disease. During the procedure, the gums are gently lifted to expose the tooth roots and underlying bone, allowing deep cleaning, removal of infected tissue, and treatment of damaged bone where necessary. Once the area has been cleaned, the gums are repositioned and secured to promote proper healing.

• Deep Infection Removal: Eliminates bacteria, plaque, and tartar beneath the gum line.
• Preserves Natural Teeth: Helps prevent tooth loss caused by advanced gum disease.
• Promotes Gum Healing: Reduces inflammation and supports healthier gum tissue.
• Improves Long-Term Oral Health: Protects the teeth and supporting bone from further damage.

When is Gum Disease Treatment Recommended?

Periodontal flap surgery is recommended when gum disease has progressed beyond the stage where non-surgical treatments can provide effective results.

• Deep Gum Pockets: Pockets that cannot be cleaned through scaling and root planing alone.
• Severe Gum Recession: Exposed tooth roots caused by advanced gum disease.
• Bone Loss Around Teeth: Periodontal infection affecting the supporting jawbone.
• Persistent Bad Breath: Ongoing bacterial infection causing unpleasant breath and taste.

Benefits of Periodontal Flap Surgery

• Removes Deep Bacterial Infection: Thoroughly cleans areas beneath the gums.
• Protects Natural Teeth: Helps prevent tooth mobility and tooth loss.
• Supports Bone Regeneration: Bone grafting procedures may be performed when required.
• Healthier Gums: Reduces inflammation, bleeding, and gum pocket depth.
• Long-Term Oral Stability: Improves overall periodontal health and function.

Our Gum Disease Treatment Process

Every periodontal treatment begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine the severity of gum disease and create a personalised treatment plan.

1. Comprehensive Examination – Digital OPG, CBCT scans, and clinical examination are performed to assess gum condition and bone loss.
2. Local Anaesthesia – The treatment area is comfortably numbed to ensure a pain-free procedure.
3. Flap Surgery – A small incision is made to gently lift the gums, allowing complete removal of bacteria, tartar, and infected tissue.
4. Bone & Root Treatment – Damaged root surfaces are cleaned thoroughly, and bone grafting may be performed when necessary to encourage regeneration.
5. Closure & Recovery – The gums are carefully repositioned, sutured, and protected with a periodontal dressing if required, followed by personalised aftercare instructions.
