Flap Surgeries

Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a surgical technique employed to augment the bone volume in regions of the jaw that have encountered bone loss or necessitate additional structural support.
Sinus Lift:
Sinus lift helps to restore lost bone, enabling replacement of upper molars.
Socket Graft:
Socket grafting is a procedure where a bone graft is performed simultaneously with tooth extraction to prevent subsequent bone loss.
Gum recontouring
Gum contouring is a dental procedure performed by specialists to reshape or restore gum tissue around the teeth, often chosen for cosmetic improvements but occasionally necessary for treating periodontal disease.
This in-office treatment involves the use of local anesthesia to minimize discomfort during the procedure, with excess gum tissue removed or reshaped using lasers or scalpels. Sutures may be needed to secure the gum tissue, and post-surgery pain and tenderness can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications and cold compresses.
Pigmentation
The colour of gums can vary from a bright pink to pink interspersed with grey or brown patches to a predominantly grey/brown appearance. This is due to varying amount of melanin pigment found in individuals. While pigmented gums are healthy, some patients want to remove the pigmented appearance for aesthetic reasons.
