Surgery

Periodontal surgery

Receding gums or serious conditions affecting the tissues that support the teeth (the periodontium, which consists of the gingiva, cementum, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone) can be treated with different periodontal surgery techniques:

• Periodontal flap (positioned laterally, apically or coronally)

• Epithelial connective tissue graft

• Guided tissue regeneration

Oral surgery

Fitting a crown, bridge or prosthesis sometimes requires surgical prosthetic preparation.

The oral cavity and mucosa, upper jaw, lower jaw and dental arches can all develop various problems that can be resolved with surgery:

• Wisdom-tooth extraction

• Cyst removal

• Bone graft

• Sinus lift
