What Is Periodontal Surgery?

Periodontal surgery treats advanced gum disease (periodontitis) that cannot be resolved with non-surgical methods alone. These procedures eliminate infection, regenerate lost tissues, and restore the health of your gums and supporting bone structure.

Deep cleaning of tooth roots and reduction of periodontal pockets

Bone Grafting
