Periodontal surgery in Eatontown, NJ

For gum disease that has progressed beyond what a deep cleaning can resolve, periodontal surgery treats deeper infection and helps regenerate lost gum and bone support around your teeth.

Why Eatontown patients choose Seaview Dental for periodontal surgery

  • Never the first option. We only recommend surgery when a deep cleaning will not resolve the disease present.
  • Built to regenerate, not just remove. Grafting material encourages real bone and tissue regrowth.
  • Monitored through healing. Follow-up visits track your recovery and gum health.

Types of periodontal surgery

Flap surgery temporarily lifts back the gum tissue so tartar can be thoroughly removed from deep pockets around the tooth root, then sutures the tissue back into a healthier position that is easier to keep clean going forward. Bone grafting replaces bone that periodontal disease has destroyed, giving teeth a more stable foundation and, in some cases, making a future dental implant possible in that area.

Guided tissue regeneration places a special membrane between the gum and bone during surgery to encourage the right type of tissue to regrow in the right place, rather than gum tissue growing faster than the bone can regenerate. Soft tissue grafting adds gum tissue to areas where the gumline has receded significantly, protecting exposed roots and improving appearance. Your specific case may involve one or a combination of these approaches, which we determine from your imaging and exam.
