Gum Surgery Treatment in Ahmedabad

Bleeding, swollen or receding gums are signs of gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. Dr. Vrutti Shah (MDS) at 32 Dental Clinic in Prahlad Nagar starts with cleaning and non-surgical care and recommends gum surgery only when it is needed.

Gum Surgery at 32 Dental Clinic in Ahmedabad treats gum disease at its source. Dr. Vrutti Shah (MDS) begins with the least invasive options, such as deep cleaning, before considering flap surgery, bone grafting, gum grafting, or crown lengthening. Left untreated, gum disease can cause bone loss and eventually the need for Tooth Extraction or Dental Implants to replace lost teeth. Healthy gums are essential before Cosmetic Dentistry, Crown and Bridge, or orthodontic treatments like Dental Braces and Aligners can proceed safely. Preventive checkups from childhood through our Pediatric service help avoid gum problems developing in the first place. If you notice bleeding, receding gums, or persistent bad breath, book a periodontal assessment before the condition advances.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
  • What is gum surgery?
    Gum surgery, or periodontal surgery, refers to procedures used to treat gum disease that cannot be fully resolved through non-surgical deep cleaning alone.
  • What are warning signs I might need gum treatment?
    Watch for gums that bleed while brushing, gums pulling away from teeth, persistent bad breath, loose teeth, or pain while chewing.
  • Is surgery always needed to treat gum disease?
    No. Many cases respond well to scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) alone, with surgery reserved for more advanced cases.
  • What is a gum graft used for?
    A gum graft covers exposed tooth roots caused by gum recession, reducing sensitivity and protecting the root from further damage.
  • How long does recovery from gum surgery take?
    Most patients return to their normal routine within a few days, with a follow-up visit scheduled to check healing and remove any sutures.
  • How do I maintain results after gum surgery?
    Attend recall visits every three to four months, avoid smoking, and follow a consistent brushing and flossing routine at home.
