After a thorough examination, an incision is made in the gum tissue, and the gum is lifted outward. This provides access to remove damaged tissue and bacterial plaque beneath the gumline, correct root surfaces, and eliminate inflamed tissue around the tooth roots.

Flap surgery is performed for treating gum pockets, correcting the gum line for aesthetic purposes, and addressing damage to gum and underlying bone tissue.

Since the procedure is performed under local anesthesia, you will not feel any pain during it, ensuring a comfortable experience.

Flap surgery has a high success rate and is often a permanent solution. Regular check-ups, proper oral hygiene practices, and a healthy lifestyle are important to enhance the success and longevity of the treatment. After the treatment, our dentist at Go Master Clinic will provide necessary instructions.

There are no definitive age limits for flap surgery. The patient’s overall health condition is taken into consideration.

Patients can typically return to their normal work routine the day after the treatment.

It is recommended to opt for soft and easily chewable foods and avoid excessively hot, cold, or spicy foods. Staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water is also important.
