Gum Surgery
At The Palms Implants and Periodontics, our specialist periodontists provide advanced surgical treatments designed to restore gum health, preserve natural teeth and enhance gum aesthetics. Our evidence-based approach combines surgical expertise with personalised care to achieve optimal results.
Receding gums
When gum recession exposes tooth roots, soft tissue grafting can effectively cover these areas and restore your gumline, reducing sensitivity, protecting vulnerable roots from decay, and improving aesthetic appearance.
Crown Lengthening
This procedure adjusts the gum and bone levels around teeth to expose more tooth structure. Crown lengthening may be recommended when:
- A tooth requires a filling or crown but there is insufficient tooth structure visible above the gumline
- Gum tissue covers too much of your teeth, creating a "gummy smile"
- Improved access is needed for restorative treatments
Regenerative Procedures
Regenerative procedures restore the supporting structures of your teeth damaged by periodontal disease. Using advanced biomaterials like bone grafts, barrier membranes, soft tissue grafts and growth factors, these treatments stimulate your body's natural healing ability to regenerate lost bone and tissue.
Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery is a specialised dental procedure used in the management of periodontal disease. Your periodontist may suggest this treatment in cases where non-surgical treatment will be ineffective in removing the bacterial plaque and calculus that drives gum disease or where regeneration of bone and tissues lost due to disease is amenable. Techniques may include flap surgery, soft tissue grafts, or guided tissue regeneration, depending on your specific needs. During the procedure, your periodontist may use a variety of materials, such as bone grafts, membranes, or tissue stimulants, to promote healing and regeneration.
