Dental hygiene
Tips and procedures for daily teeth and gum care between two check-ups.
Periodontal surgery
Surgical procedures on the gums and supporting tooth tissues that, when necessary, complement periodontal treatment and create conditions for more stable oral health.
CANDIDATES
When is periodontal surgery needed?
Many gum problems are first treated with non-surgical procedures and improved oral hygiene.
Surgical intervention is considered when such an approach is not sufficient or when tissue anatomy needs to be further corrected to enable the treatment, maintenance, or protection of the tooth.
Periodontal surgery may be considered if:
Surgical intervention is considered when such an approach is not sufficient or when tissue anatomy needs to be further corrected to enable the treatment, maintenance, or protection of the tooth.
Periodontal surgery may be considered if:
-
there are deep periodontal pockets that cannot be cleaned sufficiently by non-surgical means
-
bone loss occurred around the tooth
-
The gums have receded significantly
-
The tooth root is exposed and sensitive.
-
it is necessary to correct the shape or amount of the gingiva
-
It is necessary to create better conditions for maintaining oral hygiene
-
The procedure is part of a broader prosthetic or aesthetic plan.
What does periodontal surgery include?
Periodontal surgery is not a single procedure, but a set of procedures that are applied depending on the condition of the gingiva, bone, and teeth.
It may include surgical cleaning of the area around the root, correction of periodontal pockets, regenerative procedures, coverage of receded gums, or gum contouring.
The goal and scope of the procedure are determined individually after a periodontal assessment and prior treatment when necessary.

When is conservative therapy not enough?
For periodontal diseases, the first step most often involves plaque control, professional cleaning, and thorough removal of deposits from the areas around and below the gums.
After the initial therapy, it is assessed how the tissues have responded.
If deep or hard-to-reach areas remain, if it is necessary to regenerate lost tissue or correct the position of the gingiva, a surgical procedure may be recommended.

DC360 PROCESS
What does a periodontal surgical procedure look like?
01
Periodontal assessment
We evaluate the gums, pocket depths, tooth stability, and the condition of the surrounding bone.
02
Preparatory therapy
If necessary, professional cleaning and non-surgical periodontal treatment are performed before surgery.
03
Procedure planning
We are determining the goal, area, and type of surgical approach.
04
Surgical procedure
The procedure is most commonly performed under local anesthesia and is adapted to the specific condition of the tissue.
05
Disposal and follow-up examinations
Depending on the type of procedure, the area is closed with stitches and you receive care instructions. We monitor healing and plan long-term professional and home hygiene.

PRICE
What affects the price?
The price depends on the type of procedure, the number of treated teeth or areas, and the extent of the required therapy.
After the examination, you will receive a clear plan and information about the expected costs.

Periodontal surgery encompasses various surgical procedures on the gingiva, bone, and supporting tissues of the teeth.
It may be necessary when non-surgical treatment is not enough, when there are deep periodontal pockets, tissue loss, or a need for gum correction.
The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia. Sensitivity, swelling, or discomfort may occur after the procedure, depending on its extent.
Initial healing takes less time, while complete tissue stabilization may require more time. The course depends on the type of procedure.
In certain forms of recession, it is possible to surgically cover part of the exposed root, but the result depends on the anatomy, tooth position, and condition of the surrounding tissue.
In certain cases, regenerative procedures aimed at promoting the regeneration of supporting tissue can be used. The possibility depends on the shape and extent of the bone defect.
No. Long-term control of periodontal disease requires daily oral hygiene and regular professional maintenance even after the procedure.
The disease can be reactivated if plaque and other risk factors are not controlled. Therefore, regular check-ups and hygiene appointments are an important part of long-term treatment.
