Frequently Asked Questions
What is periodontal surgery?
Periodontal surgery encompasses a variety of procedures designed to treat gum disease and its effects, such as gum recession, deep pockets around teeth, and bone loss. These surgeries may include pocket reduction, gum grafts, or regenerative procedures aimed at restoring gum health and preventing tooth loss.
Why might I need periodontal surgery?
You may need periodontal surgery if you have advanced gum disease that hasn’t responded to less invasive treatments. Surgery can help reduce pocket depths, regenerate lost bone and tissue, and ultimately help save your teeth by providing a more cleanable environment around the teeth.
How do I prepare for periodontal surgery?
Preparation for periodontal surgery typically involves a thorough cleaning of the teeth and gums, updating any necessary x-rays, and a review of your medical history. It’s important to inform Dr. Bye about any medications you are taking, as some may need to be adjusted before surgery.
What can I expect during the recovery period?
Recovery after periodontal surgery varies depending on the type of procedure performed. Generally, you may experience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with medications prescribed by Dr. Bye. You’ll be advised to follow a soft diet and given specific oral hygiene instructions to aid healing.
How long do the results of periodontal surgery last?
The duration of periodontal surgery results largely depends on your commitment to good oral hygiene practices and regular dental visits after the surgery. With proper care, the outcomes of surgery can last many years. Regular check-ups and cleanings are necessary to maintain the health of your gums and teeth post-surgery.
Is periodontal surgery painful?
We strive to make periodontal surgery as pain-free as possible. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure to minimize discomfort. After the surgery, pain can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications. We also offer various sedation options to ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure.
