Periodontal Surgery

In certain situations non-surgical periodontal therapy is not entirely successful in stopping the destructive advances of Periodontal Disease. In such situations in which it is impossible to completely disinfect the pockets or infected crevices between the gum and the tooth, and where even the most rigorous personal oral hygiene procedures are insufficient to adequately eliminate the disease associated bacteria, periodontal surgery sometimes known as pocket elimination may be necessary to reverse the process. The benefits of these surgical procedures are that they are designed to eliminate infected pockets, and restore or regenerate the diseased tissues naturally. Dr. Brown, in consultation with you and your family dentist, will decide on the best course of action.
