Flap Operation
At J A Aneja Multispeciality Dental Centre, we offer advanced Flap Surgery (also known as Periodontal Flap Surgery) to treat severe gum diseases and restore oral health. This surgical procedure is designed to remove deep-seated plaque and tartar, reduce gum pockets, and prevent further damage to teeth and supporting structures.
Flap Surgery is a specialized periodontal procedure where the gums are gently lifted (flapped) to gain access to the underlying bone and roots of the teeth. This allows for thorough cleaning of deep pockets, removal of infected tissue, and, in some cases, bone grafting to restore lost bone.
When i s Flap Surgery Needed?
- Deep gum pockets
- Persistent gum infections
- Bone loss due to periodontitis
- Receding gums and loose teeth
Procedure of Flap Surgery
- Local Anesthesia : The area is numbed for a painless experience.
- Gum Incision : A small flap is created to expose the roots and bone.
- Deep Cleaning : Plaque, tartar, and infected tissues are removed.
- Bone Reshaping (if needed) : If bone loss has occurred, reshaping or grafting may be done.
