Periodontic Procedures (Deep Cleaning, Gingivectomy, Gum Graft)
A range of treatments that address gum disease, from deep cleaning to surgical gum restoration.
What is Periodontic Procedures (Deep Cleaning, Gingivectomy, Gum Graft)?
Periodontic procedures cover a range of treatments for gum disease at different stages, from non-surgical deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) that removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, to more involved surgical treatments like gingivectomy, which removes excess or diseased gum tissue, and gum grafting, which restores gum tissue that has receded. Your periodontist determines the most appropriate treatment based on the severity of your gum disease, often starting with the least invasive effective option and progressing to surgical treatment if needed.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Gum disease (periodontitis) at various stages of severity
- Plaque and tartar buildup below the gumline
- Gum recession exposing tooth roots
- Excess or overgrown gum tissue affecting appearance or oral hygiene
- Bleeding, swollen, or receding gums
How does this procedure help?
Treating gum disease at the appropriate stage helps prevent the tooth and bone loss that untreated periodontal disease can cause, while also resolving associated symptoms like bleeding and sensitivity. Deep cleaning alone resolves many earlier-stage cases, while surgical options address more advanced disease or restore tissue that has already been lost. Consistent, appropriate periodontal care is one of the most important factors in preserving your natural teeth for the long term.
