Gum Surgeries

Sometimes, the need for gum surgeries can arise. An impacted tooth, a large periodontal pocket, or a suspicious oral lesion are some conditions that can require surgical care. Should you need surgical treatment, rest assured that we will give you the most attentive care in the most comfortable setting.

Surgical Extractions

The need for surgical extractions occurs when a tooth bud does not develop properly or does not have room to erupt into the mouth. This most commonly happens with the third molars, also known as wisdom teeth. When these teeth try to grow and erupt into the jawbone in late adolescence, there is often not enough room in the mouth for them to come in. Surgical extraction is indicated.

Gum Surgeries

Gum surgery to reduce periodontal pockets is a therapeutic procedure that is done to help slow periodontal (gum) disease. While you probably realize that gum disease is bad for your teeth and oral structures, you may not know that it can be detrimental to your overall well-being. To take care of your health, you have to take care of your gums.

The dental crown lengthening surgery is for patients who would like to reduce an overly gummy smile. During this procedure, excess gum and bone tissue is removed to expose more of the tooth. It can be done for one tooth or multiple teeth.

Biopsies

A biopsy is a surgical procedure to remove abnormal tissue for testing. Early detection of disease makes treatment more successful. If you need a biopsy, Dr. Firdose will explain the procedures and results.
