Gum Surgery

Gum Surgery in Gurgaon

Healthy gums are the unsung heroes of a beautiful smile. When gum disease progresses beyond the early stage, simple cleaning or even root planing may not be enough to control the infection. At this point, advanced care is required to restore health and stability.

At Aspen Dental, Gurgaon, our specialist periodontists perform Gum Surgery (also known as Flap Surgery or Periodontal Surgery) to treat deep gum infection, repair bone damage, and save natural teeth. With 21+ years of experience and state-of-the-art facilities, we ensure precision, comfort, and predictable healing.

What Is Gum Surgery?

Gum surgery is a specialized periodontal procedure that involves carefully lifting the gum tissue to access and clean deep pockets of infection that cannot be reached through non-surgical methods like scaling or root planing.

It allows the dentist to:

Remove tartar and bacterial buildup deep below the gums.
Smooth and reshape damaged bone.
Repair or regenerate bone and tissue if required.
Reposition gums for healthier attachment around the teeth.

The result is a significant reduction in pocket depth, better gum health, and improved long-term tooth support.

When Do You Need Gum Surgery?

Gum surgery is recommended when:

Gum pockets remain deep even after root planing.
You have advanced periodontitis with bone loss.
Teeth feel loose or mobile due to weak support.
Gum recession has exposed tooth roots.
Persistent swelling, bleeding, or infection is present.
You wish to preserve natural teeth rather than extract them.

Benefits of Gum Surgery

Stops disease progression by removing deep-seated infection.
Preserves natural teeth that would otherwise be lost.
Reduces pocket depth, making it easier to maintain gum health.
Improves bone support, preventing further deterioration.
Enhances aesthetics by reshaping gums and correcting recession.
Protects overall health since gum disease is linked to systemic issues like heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems.

The Gum Surgery Procedure at Aspen Dental

Diagnosis & Planning
A comprehensive periodontal exam and digital X-rays are performed to assess bone levels and pocket depth.
Local Anesthesia
The area is numbed for a completely pain-free experience.
Flap Creation
The gum tissue is gently lifted to expose the roots and underlying bone.
Deep Cleaning
All tartar, plaque, and bacterial toxins are meticulously removed from deep pockets.
Bone Reshaping & Repair
If bone has been damaged, it is smoothed to eliminate defects. In cases of significant loss, bone grafts or regenerative materials may be placed.
Gum Repositioning & Suturing
The gum is repositioned snugly against the tooth and sutured for optimal healing.
Healing Phase
Over the following weeks, gums reattach more firmly, and pocket depth reduces.

Recovery & Aftercare

Mild swelling or discomfort may occur but usually subsides in a few days.
Take prescribed antibiotics or pain relievers as directed.
Stick to soft, lukewarm foods for the first 2–3 days.
Avoid smoking or alcohol, as they delay healing.
Rinse gently with an antibacterial mouthwash.
Attend follow-up visits for suture removal and progress checks.

With good care, gum surgery offers long-lasting stability and improved oral health.
