Periodontal Flap Surgery

Periodontal flap surgery is a surgical method used in the advanced stages of gum disease.

In this procedure, the gum tissue is lifted in the form of a flap to access the underlying root surfaces. This method is effective for cleaning and smoothing the root surfaces. The flap is then sutured back into place, and the healing process begins. This surgery is commonly used to treat conditions such as gum recession, deep pockets, or bone loss.
