Periodontal Surgery

Whenever we have a bone defect associated with a tooth, or a gingival retraction in the same tooth, we resort to periodontal surgery, with the aim of decontaminating the tooth root and covering it.

Depending on the extent of contamination and even the need for root coverage, we can use different strategies, which may involve performing a gingival graft in the same procedure. Therefore, a clinical and radiographic evaluation is very important to determine the best strategy to use.

As all procedures can vary, local anesthesia is always performed, so that the experience is comfortable. After surgery, supportive medication prescribed by the professional makes recovery very smooth.

In principle, all patients are able to perform periodontal surgeries, it is just a matter of individualizing each situation to the patient in question.

In the clinical and radiographic evaluation phase, all care is taken to make the procedure smooth, hence the importance of being in the hands of an experienced and well-prepared professional.
