Periodontal Surgery?
What is periodontal surgery?
Periodontal surgery is a dental procedure done to restore the look and function of teeth, gums, and bone damage due to severe gum disease. A periodontist can help you determine if you're a candidate for periodontal surgery.
How painful is periodontal surgery?
You should not anticipate experiencing any pain at all during your procedure because the anesthesia will make sure you are completely asleep. It is common to feel a little sore and uncomfortable after returning home and the effects have worn off.
How long is recovery from periodontal surgery?
Recovery usually takes one to two weeks, but it may take longer. Gum grafting has a good success rate and can reduce your risk of severe gum disease.
