In situations where periodontal disease is advanced, gum surgery can help to eliminate deeper pockets.
This procedure is indicated only for conditions where the disease is not responding to deep cleaning or if bone loss affects the stability and access to hygiene. In some cases, a gum graft can be harvested (usually from the roof of the mouth) and applied to exposed roots.
Gum disease is prevalent in older adults. Dr. Ahmed Al Attar offers periodontal surgery in Leesburg, Virginia, to restore teeth that have been weakened by gum disease.
Periodontal surgery (gum surgery), In situations where periodontal disease is advanced, surgical intervention is needed to remove disease tissue and eliminate pockets. This procedure is indicated only for cases where the condition is not responding to deep cleaning or if the bone loss affects the stability and access to hygiene. In some instances, the replacement of missing bone can be achieved via bone grafting. Gum recession due to periodontal disease or aggressive brushing techniques can result in root exposure, leading to sensitivity and unesthetic appearance of longer than standard teeth. In those situations, a gum graft can be harvested (usually from the roof of the mouth) and applied to the exposed root area for better coverage.
