Periodontal (gum) surgery is a dental procedure designed to restore the look and function of teeth, gums, and bone damaged due to severe gum disease. It is typically recommended when non-surgical treatments such as scaling and root planing are no longer enough to manage gum disease or repair damage. At Drs. Nicolas & Asp Centers, our Specialist Periodontists (gum experts) can help you manage and overcome advanced gum problems with expertise and compassion.
Periodontal surgery covers a range of procedures designed to treat gum disease and its effects. When non-surgical treatments are insufficient, surgical intervention may be necessary to:
Periodontitis, the advanced stage of gum disease, causes tooth and bone loss, and other serious health issues. While early gum disease can often be managed non-surgically, once it progresses to a more serious stage, the damage to your gums and bone becomes irreversible— and that’s when periodontal surgery becomes essential.
Gum tissue and bone won’t regenerate on their own. Periodontal surgery can help stop the disease from worsening, restore oral function, and improve the appearance of your smile. The earlier it’s treated, the simpler and more cost-effective the treatment is likely to be.
