FLAP  SURGERIES

• Flap surgery is today's leading method for treating and repairing gums.
• When advanced gum disease (periodontitis) develops, your teeth are in danger: At this stage, the ligaments and bone tissue that surround them are being destroyed, and you could even begin losing teeth.
•  If the disease can't be controlled by non-surgical treatments like cleaning and scaling, then periodontal flap surgery may be your best treatment option.
• Flap surgery isn't a cure for periodontal disease — but it helps create an environment that makes it easier to maintain your periodontal health.
• A variety of techniques may be used to accomplish this, including high-tech methods of bone grafting and chemicals referred to as growth factors.
• These approaches help restore the gums to their normal form and function, and promote the healthy and secure anchoring of teeth.
• Flap surgery is done under local anesthesia.
