Flap surgery, also known as periodontal flap surgery, is a surgical intervention meticulously tailored to treat advanced gum disease and cases where conventional methods prove insufficient. The procedure involves delicately lifting the gums to gain access to the roots of the teeth, allowing for a thorough examination, cleaning, and treatment.

Understanding Dental Bridges:

  • Precision Treatment: Targeting the root cause with surgical precision.
  • Time-Efficient: Often completed in a single session for immediate results.
  • Preserving Oral Health: Halting the progression of gum disease and preserving the integrity of surrounding bone structures.
  • Minimally Invasive: Employing advanced techniques for a more comfortable patient experience.

Types of Dental Bridges:

  • Diagnosis: A comprehensive examination and assessment of your oral health to determine the necessity of flap surgery.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience during the procedure.
  • Flap Creation: Gently lifting the gums to access the affected areas.
  • Cleaning and Treatment: Thorough cleaning of root surfaces and targeted treatment to address the underlying issues.
  • Closure: The gums are carefully repositioned and secured for optimal healing.

Avoidance of Tobacco:

Smoking can compromise the healing process, and patients are advised to refrain from tobacco use during recovery.

Soft Diet:

A temporary shift to a soft diet is recommended to minimize stress on the treated areas during initial recovery.

Follow-up Appointments:

Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and address any concerns.
