Surgical Treatment of Gum Disease (Pyorrhea)

Gum disease, also known as Pyorrhoea or periodontal disease, is a serious infection of the gums and surrounding structures that support your teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to chronic inflammation, tooth mobility, gum recession, and eventually tooth loss.

When gum disease progresses beyond its initial stages, non-surgical treatments often aren’t enough to restore your oral health. At this stage, your gum disease may develop into advanced periodontal disease, commonly known as pyorrhea, which can lead to serious damage to your gums, jawbone, and the supporting structures of your teeth.

At Savani Dental Clinic, we take a comprehensive and proactive approach to treating advanced gum disease, ensuring not just relief from symptoms—but long-term oral health. 

When is Surgical Treatment Required?

While early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) can be reversed with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene, moderate to severe cases often require surgical intervention. Surgical treatment becomes necessary when:

• Deep pockets have formed between teeth and gums
• Non-surgical methods (like scaling and root planing) fail to control infection
• There is significant bone loss
• Gum recession exposes tooth roots
• Infection has spread to surrounding bone or tissue

Types of Surgical Gum Treatments We Offer

At Savani Dental Clinic, our expert team, led by Dr Kalpana Savani, an experienced dentist in Surat, consults for a range of evidence-based surgical procedures to restore gum health and function:

1. Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery)

We carefully lift the gums to remove tartar, plaque, and bacteria from deep pockets, and then reposition the gum for easier cleaning and healing.

2. Bone Grafting

When gum disease has destroyed the bone supporting your teeth, bone grafts are used to regenerate lost bone and stabilize your teeth.

3. Soft Tissue Grafts

This procedure involves grafting tissue from another part of your mouth (or using donor tissue) to cover exposed roots and reduce gum recession.

4. Guided Tissue Regeneration

A special membrane is placed between the gum and bone to encourage new tissue growth where bone or gum has been lost.

5. Laser-Assisted Gum Surgery

In select cases, minimally invasive laser technology is used to precisely remove infected tissue and promote faster healing.

6. Depigmentation of Gums: 

Many patients show blackish gums when they smile which can be corrected by lasers or by surgery.
