What Are Surgical Periodontal Treatments

Surgical periodontal treatments are procedures that target advanced stages of gum disease. When non-surgical options like scaling and root planing are no longer effective, these surgeries allow us to remove deep bacteria, smooth damaged bone, and reshape the gum line for improved healing.

At Empower Dental, we perform three primary types of surgical periodontal treatment:

Pocket Reduction Surgery

Gently lifts the gum tissue to clean out infection and reduce the depth of periodontal pockets.

Osseous Surgery

Removes tartar from deep pockets and reshapes damaged bone around the teeth.

Gingivectomy

Removes excess gum tissue and bacteria to reduce inflammation and make it easier to clean around the teeth.

Why Might You Need Surgical Periodontal Treatment

You may benefit from these procedures if you have:

Treating periodontal disease early with the appropriate procedure can prevent tooth loss and reduce your risk of systemic health issues like heart disease and diabetes.

How We Use Technology to Improve Your Results

Empower Dental combines surgical expertise with advanced dental technology for more comfortable, precise treatment:

Digital X-rays & 3D X-Rays

help map the bone and soft tissue structure for detailed planning.

Cone Beam CT Scanner

provides high-resolution, 3D images for surgical precision.

Laser Dentistry

can be used in select cases to remove diseased tissue with less discomfort.

Piezoelectric Ultrasonic Scalers

are used to remove buildup and bacteria gently during and after surgery.

T-Scan Occlusal Analysis

helps assess bite imbalances that can contribute to gum disease recurrence.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Surgical procedures are performed under local anesthesia, with optional sedation available to help you feel completely relaxed. The steps generally include:

Recovery time varies but is typically just a few days with proper care.

Yes, if not properly maintained. That’s why regular checkups and daily oral hygiene are critical to long-term success.

We perform a full periodontal evaluation using digital probes and imaging. If your pocket depth is over 5mm and unresponsive to other treatments, surgery may be needed.

These are spaces between your teeth and gums that become infected when plaque and bacteria build up. If untreated, they deepen and lead to bone loss.

They’re similar—osseous surgery is a type of flap surgery where we also reshape the bone to reduce pocket depth.

Many dental insurance plans cover periodontal surgery. Our team will help verify your coverage and estimate your out-of-pocket cost.

In some cases, laser therapy may be an alternative. We’ll evaluate your condition and recommend the best approach.

Untreated periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, and systemic health issues.
