Flap surgery is a procedure used to treat advanced gum disease by lifting the gum tissue to access the underlying bone. This allows the dentist to clean deeply, remove infection, and reshape the bone if needed. Once the area is cleaned and treated, the gum is repositioned to promote healing. This surgery helps prevent further damage and restore gum health, improving both the function and appearance of your gums. With careful care, flap surgery can give you healthier, stronger gums and a more confident smile.
