Periodontal (Gum) Surgery
Specialist assessment and treatment for gum disease and the tissues supporting your teeth.
Periodontal care focuses on the gums and supporting structures around teeth. When gum disease is advanced, a periodontist may discuss surgical options after examining the gums and reviewing your dental history.
Gum health assessment
Red, swollen or bleeding gums, recession, persistent bad breath or loose teeth are reasons to arrange an examination. These signs can have more than one cause, so diagnosis requires a dental assessment.
The dentist may check gum inflammation, pocket depth, teeth and supporting bone to understand the condition and discuss suitable next steps.
Care options
Depending on the findings, care may include professional cleaning, home-care guidance or specialist treatment. Surgery is considered only when it is appropriate for the individual case.
Dr. Archana Mal has an MDS specialisation in Periodontics. She will explain the plan, expected visits and after-care before treatment begins.
Treatment suitability, steps and outcomes vary. The dentist will assess your needs and explain options before care begins.
