Gum Surgery & Flap Surgery in Roorkee
Stopping Gum Disease in Its Tracks
If your gums have started receding, bleed regularly while brushing, or your teeth feel slightly loose — this is gum disease, and it's the leading cause of tooth loss in Indian adults. Flap surgery is a precise procedure to clean deep pockets around the tooth roots where bacteria hide, and it's often the only way to stop the progression.
What is Gum Surgery & Flap Surgery?
Our Approach & Solutions
Stops Gum Disease Progression
Flap surgery is often the only definitive treatment for moderate-to-advanced periodontitis.
Saves Teeth from Extraction
Teeth that feel loose because of gum disease can often be firmly anchored again with proper surgical cleaning and bone grafting.
Bone Regeneration
In areas of significant bone loss, we can place bone graft material and a protective membrane to regrow supporting bone around the root.
Reduced Pocket Depths
Post-surgery, gum pockets around teeth return to healthy 1–3 mm depths that you can actually clean at home.
The Treatment Process
Periodontal Assessment
We measure gum pockets around every tooth, take X-rays, and classify the stage of disease.
Pre-surgical Cleaning
Deep scaling and root planing is done 2–4 weeks before surgery.
Surgical Visit
Under local anaesthesia, the gum is lifted, deeply cleaned, and repositioned. Bone grafting is added if needed.
Suturing & Dressing
Fine sutures close the flap. A periodontal dressing may be placed for protection.
Recovery
Most patients feel normal within 3–5 days. Sutures come out at 1 week.
Maintenance
A 3-monthly hygiene schedule protects the result long-term.
