Flap surgery is an advanced periodontal procedure designed to treat moderate to severe gum disease. At RJRam's Advanced Dental and Implant Centre, our experienced team performs flap surgery to remove deep-seated tartar, reduce periodontal pockets, and restore gum health effectively.
This procedure involves carefully lifting the gum tissue to access and thoroughly clean the tooth roots and surrounding bone. By eliminating bacteria and infection at their source, flap surgery helps prevent further bone loss and tooth loss, giving you a healthier foundation for your smile.
Flap surgery is a periodontal procedure used to treat advanced gum disease when deep pockets have formed between teeth and gums. It is needed when non-surgical treatments like scaling and root planing are insufficient to manage the infection.
Flap surgery is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Some mild discomfort and swelling may occur after the anesthesia wears off, but this can be managed with prescribed medications and typically subsides within a few days.
Most patients recover within 1-2 weeks. You may be advised to eat soft foods and avoid brushing the surgical area for a few days. Follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor healing and remove any sutures if needed.
