Flap (Gum) Surgeries

Flap gum surgeries are advanced dental procedures aimed at treating various gum-related issues and restoring oral health. Dr. Minakshi specializes in performing flap gum surgeries with precision and care to address conditions such as periodontal disease, gum recession, and gingival overgrowth.

During a flap gum surgery, Dr. Minakshi carefully lifts the gum tissue to access the underlying tooth roots and bone. This allows her to thoroughly clean the area, remove any diseased tissue, and address any underlying issues affecting the health of the gums and supporting structures.

One common indication for flap gum surgery is periodontal disease, a bacterial infection that affects the gums and surrounding tissues. If left untreated, periodontal disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and tooth loss. Flap surgery allows Dr. Minakshi to access and thoroughly clean the affected areas, reducing inflammation and promoting the regeneration of healthy gum tissue.

In cases of gum recession, flap surgery can help restore the gum line and protect the exposed tooth roots from further damage. Dr. Minakshi carefully repositions the gum tissue to cover the exposed roots, creating a more aesthetically pleasing smile and reducing tooth sensitivity.

Flap gum surgery may also be recommended to address gingival overgrowth, a condition characterized by excessive gum tissue that can obscure the teeth and affect oral function. Dr. Minakshi skillfully removes the excess tissue and reshapes the gums to create a more balanced and harmonious smile.

Throughout the flap gum surgery process, Dr. Minakshi prioritizes patient comfort and safety. She uses advanced techniques and minimally invasive approaches to minimize discomfort and promote faster healing. After the procedure, Dr. Minakshi provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure optimal healing and long-term success.
