Gum Surgeries

Gum surgeries, also known as periodontal surgeries, are performed to address various gum-related issues and improve overall oral health. G-MAX Advanced Dental Clinic offers a range of gum surgeries performed by skilled periodontal specialists. Here are some common gum surgeries:

• Gingival Grafts: This procedure involves taking a small amount of tissue, often from the roof of the mouth, and attaching it to areas where the gum has receded. Gingival grafts help cover exposed tooth roots, reduce sensitivity, and improve the appearance of the gumline.
• Pocket Reduction Surgery: In cases of advanced periodontal disease, bacteria can create deep pockets between the gums and teeth. Pocket reduction surgery involves folding back the gum tissue, removing bacteria, and securing the tissue in place to reduce pocket depth.
• Crown Lengthening: This procedure is performed to expose more of the tooth's surface by removing excess gum tissue. It may be done for functional reasons, such as preparing a tooth for a restoration, or for cosmetic reasons to improve the appearance of a "gummy" smile.
• Gum Contouring: Also known as gum reshaping, this cosmetic procedure is done to improve the appearance of uneven or excessive gum tissue, creating a more balanced and aesthetically pleasing smile.
• Periodontal Flap Surgery: In cases of severe periodontitis, where inflammation and infection have reached the bone, a periodontal flap surgery may be performed. The gums are lifted to allow access to the roots for thorough cleaning and to reshape bone if necessary.
• Soft Tissue Grafts: These grafts are used to augment the amount of gum tissue in a specific area. They are often used to treat gum recession or to improve the overall health and appearance of the gums.

G-MAX Advanced Dental Clinic's periodontal specialists are dedicated to providing effective and personalized gum surgeries, promoting optimal oral health and enhancing the aesthetics of your smile. The choice of procedure depends on the specific gum condition and the desired outcome for each patient.
