Our gum surgery in Clearwater FL services encompass everything from minimally invasive techniques for early-stage problems to comprehensive reconstructive and regenerative procedures for advanced cases.
Flap Surgery
When gum disease creates deep pockets that can’t be fully cleaned with non-surgical methods, flap surgery offers a more effective solution. During this procedure, our dentist gently lifts the gum tissue to reach the infected areas beneath it. This allows for thorough cleaning of the roots and smoothing of any damaged bone. Once everything is cleaned and treated, the gums are placed back into position to reduce pocket depth—making everyday brushing and flossing much easier.
Bone Grafting
If gum disease has led to bone loss around your teeth, a bone graft can help rebuild that lost support. A graft, made from your own bone, donor bone, or a safe synthetic material, encourages your body to grow new, healthy bone in the affected area. This added support helps stabilize your teeth and improves long-term oral health.
Soft Tissue Grafts (Gum Grafting)
When gum recession exposes the roots of your teeth, it can cause sensitivity and increase your risk of decay. Gum grafting replaces the missing tissue by using either tissue from another part of your mouth or a specially designed graft material. This covers the exposed roots, reduces sensitivity, enhances the look of your smile, and offers better protection against bacteria.
Healing time depends on which procedure you receive, but it’s normal to experience some mild swelling or discomfort for a few days. Following the aftercare instructions you’re given and taking any recommended medications will help ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
