When Gum Surgery May Be Needed
Some gum issues can be managed with preventive or non-surgical care, but more advanced cases may need periodontal surgery.
Treatment is recommended when gum health problems start affecting the support around your teeth.
– Advanced gum disease
– Deep pockets around teeth
– Gum recession or tissue damage
– Infection affecting the gums and bone
– Teeth at risk due to periodontal problems
Early treatment helps protect both your gums and the teeth they support.
Your Gum & Periodontal Surgery Process
Gum surgery starts with a detailed exam to understand the extent of the problem and the best way to treat it.
The process is planned to improve gum health while protecting your long-term oral health.
Step 1: Periodontal exam
Dr. Alex Fitzsimmons examines your gums, teeth, and supporting structures.
Step 2: Diagnosis and planning
Your condition is reviewed and the recommended surgical treatment is explained.
Step 3: Treatment
The procedure is performed to manage infection, improve gum health, or restore damaged gum support.
Step 4: Recovery guidance
You receive aftercare instructions and follow-up planning to support healing.
Why Treat Gum Disease Seriously
Gum disease can progress quietly, especially in the early stages. When it becomes advanced, it can threaten the support around your teeth and affect your overall oral health.
– Gum problems can worsen over time
– Bone and tissue support may be affected
– Teeth can loosen if disease progresses
– Early treatment may prevent bigger procedures later
Taking gum health seriously helps protect your smile for the long term.
