At Pasquale J. Malpeso, DMD, PC, our dentist and team provide periodontal surgery to treat moderate to severe gum disease and restore the health of supporting tissues. When nonsurgical therapies are no longer effective, surgical intervention becomes necessary to prevent further damage and preserve long-term oral function. Our team uses advanced techniques to ensure precise, comfortable and clinically effective care.
Periodontal disease affects the gums, bone and connective tissues that support the teeth. Left untreated, it can lead to gum recession, bone loss and eventual tooth loss. Surgical treatment is often the next step in managing these risks and improving oral health outcomes.
What to Expect from Periodontal Surgery
Periodontal surgery begins with a comprehensive examination, including a review of periodontal measurements and imaging. Our dentist will explain the condition of the gums, areas of concern and the appropriate surgical procedures to address them. Surgical options may include flap surgery, bone grafting, soft tissue grafting or regenerative procedures.
On the day of the procedure, patients receive local anesthesia to ensure comfort. The goal of surgery is to remove bacteria, reduce pocket depth and restore gum and bone health. In many cases, the procedure also improves the aesthetic appearance of the gums, particularly when addressing gum recession or uneven gumlines.
Following surgery, patients receive detailed instructions for home care, medication use and follow-up visits. Proper post-operative care is essential for healing and long-term success. Our team monitors progress closely and supports each patient through every step of recovery.
Improving Oral Health Through Surgical Precision
Periodontal surgery plays a critical role in managing advanced stages of gum disease. It allows our dentist to access and clean deep pockets, regenerate lost bone and reposition gum tissue to reduce infection risk. These procedures are supported by decades of clinical research and proven to be effective in preventing further progression of the disease.
Using modern surgical instruments and techniques, we reduce discomfort, speed recovery and improve the predictability of results. Our treatment approach emphasizes both functional and aesthetic outcomes to support full-mouth health.
