Gum Surgery in Hyderabad

When Is Gum Surgery Necessary?

Surgery becomes necessary when non-surgical treatments, such as scaling and root planing, are no longer effective. Advanced periodontal disease may cause deep pockets to form around teeth, which are difficult to clean with routine brushing and flossing. This creates an environment where bacteria can thrive, leading to further tissue and bone loss. In such cases, surgical procedures are essential to halt the progression of the disease and regenerate lost tissues.

Types of Gum Surgery

• Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery): This procedure involves lifting back the gums to remove tartar buildup and reduce the depth of gum pockets. The gums are then sutured back into place for easier cleaning and maintenance.
• Gingivectomy: This surgery removes excess gum tissue that may be overgrowing teeth, often caused by gum inflammation or certain medications. It helps reshape the gums and improve oral health and aesthetics.
• Gum Grafting: In cases of gum recession, grafts are taken from another part of the mouth (usually the palate) and attached to the affected area to restore the gumline and protect the roots of the teeth.
• Bone Grafting and Guided Tissue Regeneration: When the bone surrounding the teeth has been destroyed, bone grafts or regenerative materials are used to encourage new bone growth and stabilize teeth.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Before the surgery, our periodontist will conduct a thorough examination using dental X-rays and periodontal charting to determine the extent of the disease. The surgical procedure is typically performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options may be available for patients who experience dental anxiety. Depending on the type and complexity of the surgery, the procedure may take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours.

Recovery and Aftercare

Post-surgery care is crucial for successful healing. Patients can expect some discomfort, swelling, and minor bleeding after the procedure, which can be managed with prescribed medication and cold compresses. Our dental team will provide detailed instructions on how to care for the surgical site, including dietary guidelines, oral hygiene tips, and follow-up appointments.

Healing time varies but typically ranges from one to two weeks. Maintaining good oral hygiene and avoiding tobacco use are essential during this period to prevent infection and support healing.
