Periodontal Microsurgery

Periodontal microsurgery is a modern, minimally invasive technique that uses high-powered microscopes and specialized instruments to treat gum disease, gum recession, and other periodontal concerns with unmatched precision. 

Compared to traditional gum surgery, it offers several key advantages:

• Less invasive, faster healing: smaller incisions mean less trauma, less swelling, and minimal discomfort, leading to a quicker recovery.
• Higher precision for better results: the advanced equipment allows for enhanced accuracy with improved results.
• Long-term gum health: microsurgical techniques support periodontal regeneration, promote root coverage, and help preserve teeth.

Our team of specialists at Coastal Periodontics offers microsurgical treatments that deliver lasting solutions for various problems, including:

• Gum grafting: restores receding gums, protects tooth roots, and enhances gum thickness.
• Crown lengthening: reshapes excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth for restorative procedures.
• Soft tissue and periodontal regeneration: repairs damaged gum tissue, promotes root coverage, and restores gum health naturally.
• Implant site preparation: optimizes bone and gum structure for successful dental implant placement.

Your experience at Coastal Periodontics is comfortable and stress-free, from consultation to recovery. 

We will evaluate your gum health at your first visit and discuss your treatment options, recommendations, and fees. This is the perfect time to ask any questions you have — understanding your diagnosis fully will help you feel confident in your procedure.

On the day of your surgery, we prioritize your comfort. You can choose between receiving local or intravenous (IV) sedation. Our high-precision instruments allow a gentle, effective treatment procedure.

Most patients can return to normal activities within a few days, but we will give you specific recommendations for your case. This is what you can generally expect for recovery and aftercare:

• In the first 24 to 72 hours: mild swelling and discomfort are probable and can be managed with ice packs and pain relievers.
• 1 to 2 weeks: sutures (if used) will be removed. Soft food is recommended until then.
• Long-term care: we’ll recommend follow-up visits to ensure proper healing and gum health maintenance.

This technique is ideal for patients looking for a gentler, more precise alternative to traditional gum surgery. You may be a candidate if you:

• Have moderate to severe gum disease that hasn’t responded to non-surgical treatments.
• Experience gum recession or want to enhance gum aesthetics.
• Need gum or bone enhancement before getting dental implants.
• Prefer a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum surgery.

Early treatment is key to preventing further damage. If you’re experiencing bleeding gums, sensitivity, or gum recession, find an expert specialist you can trust.
