Periodontal Procedures

Periodontal procedures are specialized dental treatments that focus on preventing, managing, and correcting diseases of the gums and supporting bone around the teeth. They include non-surgical methods like scaling and root planing to remove plaque and tartar, as well as advanced surgical options such as flap surgery, gum grafts, bone grafting, crown lengthening, and guided tissue regeneration to restore lost tissue and improve gum health. These procedures not only stop the progression of gum disease and prevent tooth loss but also enhance smile aesthetics by correcting gum recession, uneven gum lines, or a “gummy” smile. Regular maintenance and follow-ups are essential after treatment to ensure long-term oral health and stability.
