Gum surgery is often recommended when non-surgical treatments like deep cleanings or medications aren’t enough. It can help:
We’ll always start with the least invasive option first—and only recommend surgery if it’s truly needed.
Your dentist may suggest one of several procedures depending on your needs, including:
We’ll walk you through your options, explain what to expect, and ensure you feel confident moving forward.
We use local anaesthesia and offer sedation options to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Some soreness after surgery is normal, but it’s typically manageable with rest and medication.
Most patients recover in about 1 to 2 weeks. We’ll give you detailed aftercare instructions and check in with you as you heal.
You’ll need to stick to soft foods for the first few days and avoid anything spicy or crunchy. We’ll guide you through a safe recovery diet.
If you have severe gum disease that hasn’t improved with deep cleanings or medication, or if your gums are receding or infected, your dentist may recommend surgical care.
Yes. In many cases, gum surgery helps preserve your natural teeth by reducing infection and restoring gum support.
We’ll provide a clear care routine, including how to clean your mouth gently, manage discomfort, and protect the surgical site as it heals.
Gum grafting is one type of gum surgery, typically used to treat receding gums. It involves adding tissue to cover exposed roots and protect your teeth.
Many dental plans cover gum surgery if it’s medically necessary. We’re happy to check your benefits and let you know what’s included.
