Flap Surgery and Grafting

Healthy gums are essential for maintaining strong teeth. When gum disease becomes advanced, non-surgical treatment may not be enough to control infection or restore damaged supporting tissues.

Flap surgery and grafting procedures are periodontal treatments designed to treat advanced gum disease, access areas that are difficult to clean, and help restore or protect the tissues and bone supporting your teeth.

Why Is Flap Surgery Needed?

Flap surgery may be recommended when deep periodontal pockets or infection remain despite conventional periodontal treatment.

Grafting involves using tissue or other suitable materials to repair or regenerate areas affected by gum disease, gum recession, or loss of supporting bone.
