Gingival Flap Surgery

Gingival Flap Surgery is an advanced periodontal procedure used to treat moderate to severe gum disease by providing access to the roots of the teeth and underlying bone structures. At Skin World Clinic, our experienced dental specialists perform flap surgery using modern techniques to remove infection, reduce periodontal pockets, preserve supporting bone, and restore optimal gum health for long-term oral wellness.

Treatment Overview

Our dental specialists conduct a thorough periodontal evaluation to assess gum health, bone support, and the severity of gum disease. During the procedure, the gums are gently lifted to allow deep cleaning around the tooth roots, removal of infected tissue, and treatment of underlying periodontal concerns.

  • Deep Root Cleaning: Removes plaque, tartar, and bacterial deposits below the gum line.
  • Infection Control: Eliminates diseased tissue and helps stop periodontal progression.
  • Pocket Reduction: Reduces deep gum pockets that harbor harmful bacteria.
  • Bone Preservation: Helps maintain healthy bone and tooth support structures.

Benefits of Gingival Flap Surgery

Gingival flap surgery effectively treats advanced periodontal disease, improves gum health, preserves natural teeth, and reduces the risk of future oral complications.

  • Healthier Gums

    Removes infection and promotes healthier periodontal tissues.

  • Tooth Preservation

    Helps protect and maintain natural teeth affected by gum disease.

  • Improved Oral Health

    Reduces periodontal pockets and supports long-term dental wellness.

Patients with moderate to severe periodontal disease, deep gum pockets, persistent gum infection, or bone loss around the teeth may benefit from gingival flap surgery to restore oral health.

The gums are carefully lifted to expose the roots and supporting bone, allowing deep cleaning, removal of infected tissue, and treatment of periodontal defects before the gums are repositioned and secured.

Mild swelling and sensitivity may occur for a few days following treatment. Most patients recover comfortably with proper oral hygiene, prescribed medications, and follow-up care, achieving healthier gums over the following weeks.
