Gum Surgeries at River Rock Dental
WHY GUM SURGERY?
Gum surgeries are necessary when non-surgical treatments, like scaling and root planing, are not enough to resolve periodontal issues.
Types of Gum Surgeries We Offerk Dental Can Help
At River Rock Dental, we provide a variety of gum surgery options to meet your unique needs:
​
1. Gingivectomy
A gingivectomy removes excess gum tissue caused by gum overgrowth or periodontal disease. This procedure restores the gum line, making it easier to clean and maintain oral health.
​
2. Gum Grafting
Gum grafting treats receding gums by using tissue from another area of your mouth or a donor source. This restores the gum line, protects tooth roots, and improves aesthetics.
​
3. Pocket Reduction Surgery
Pocket reduction surgery cleans deep gum pockets caused by periodontitis. This procedure removes bacteria and infected tissue, helping the gums reattach to the teeth.
​
5. Frenectomy
A frenectomy involves removing or altering the frenum (a small fold of tissue) to treat issues like tongue-tie or lip-tie. This procedure improves mobility and function.
