Periodontal surgery is a dental specialty that treats problems with the gums and the supporting structures of the teeth. It’s often used when gum disease has gone too far for non-surgical treatments like deep cleanings or antibiotics to work. The goal is to remove bacteria, restore damaged tissue, and prevent tooth loss. Periodontal surgery rebuilds the foundation that keeps your teeth in place. It’s used for patients with gum recession, loose teeth, or deep pockets in the gum line.

In some cases, it’s used to prep the gums and bone for other dental treatments like dental implants or crown lengthening. For example when there’s not enough healthy tissue to support an implant, soft tissue grafting may be done first. Periodontal surgery is also used to reshape the gum line to improve both looks and function. While the word “surgery” might sound scary, these procedures are done with local anesthesia and a very gentle touch. At Dr Sunny K Tilwani’s office, we ensure our patients are informed, comfortable, and taken care of every step of the way.~

Dr Sunny K Tilwani offers a wide range of periodontal treatments to restore your gum health and protect your teeth. Every patient is different, that’s why we customize your care plan from start to finish. Whether you’re dealing with gum disease, gum recession, or preparing for dental implants, we’ve got you covered. Our periodontal surgery in Plano is done with advanced techniques for lasting results. We treat the root of the problem—not just the symptoms—so you can have better oral health and confidence.

• Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction Surgery)
  This procedure lifts the gums to clean the deep pockets where bacteria accumulate. After cleaning the area thoroughly, the gum tissue is placed back against the teeth. It reduces the risk of further bone and tooth loss.
• Soft Tissue Grafting
  When gums recede and expose tooth roots, soft tissue grafting covers the exposed areas with healthy tissue. It reduces sensitivity and improves the appearance of the gum line. It also protects against further gum recession.
• Bone Grafting
  Bone grafts are used when the jawbone has been damaged or lost due to advanced gum disease. The procedure adds new bone material to rebuild the area. It’s often used for patients preparing for dental implants.
• Crown Lengthening
  This treatment reshapes the gum and bone levels to expose more of the tooth structure. It’s often used to place a crown or improve the appearance of your smile. It can also be part of treatment for broken teeth or teeth with decay below the gum line.
• Guided Tissue Regeneration
  This advanced technique stimulates new bone and gum tissue growth in areas damaged by periodontal disease. A special membrane is placed between the bone and gum to encourage healing. It restores the natural structure that supports your teeth.

Having periodontal surgery in Plano isn’t just fixing a problem—it’s protecting your future oral health. These treatments go beyond surface-level cleaning and address the deeper issues causing discomfort, gum recession, and even tooth loss. By treating the root of gum disease we help you keep your natural teeth longer and have better confidence in your smile. Plus it sets the stage for other procedures like dental implants, if needed. Dr Sunny K Tilwani makes sure your treatment brings lasting relief and long-term benefits.

• Stops Gum Disease from Getting Worse
  Left untreated gum disease can destroy the gums, bone, and tissues that support your teeth. Surgery removes the bacteria and infections that cause damage. This keeps your oral health stable and under control.
• Prevents Tooth Loss
  Loose teeth and tooth loss are common results of advanced gum disease. Periodontal surgery rebuilds support around your teeth. This makes them more stable and helps you keep your natural teeth.
• Improves Gum Appearance
  Treatments like soft tissue grafting and crown lengthening can reshape or restore your gum line. These procedures improve both function and aesthetics. You’ll feel more confident with healthier-looking gums.
• Creates a Healthy Foundation for Implants
  If you’re planning to get dental implants, healthy gums and bones are essential. Surgery can prepare the area and increase implant success. We make sure your mouth is ready for long-term restoration.
• Boosts Overall Oral Health
  Removing infected tissue and deep cleaning beneath the gums reduces the number of harmful bacteria. This lowers your risk of future infections. It also helps protect the rest of your teeth, bones, and soft tissue.

1. Initial Consultation
   We examine your gums and review X-rays to see how advanced the problem is. We’ll talk through your symptoms, concerns, and goals. Then we’ll recommend a personalized treatment plan.
2. Pre-Treatment Cleaning
   In many cases, we begin with a deep cleaning called scaling and root planing to reduce inflammation. This step removes plaque and bacteria from above and below the gum line. It prepares the area for surgery.
3. Surgery
   On the day of surgery, we’ll numb the area to keep you comfortable throughout. Then we’ll perform the procedure whether it’s grafting, pocket reduction, or another type of surgery. We’ll preserve as much healthy tissue and bone as possible.
4. Post-Op Instructions
   After surgery, we’ll give you clear instructions on how to care for the area, what to eat, what to avoid, and if needed medication for comfort.
5. Follow-Up and Maintenance
   We’ll schedule follow-up visits to check on healing and make sure the treatment was successful. You’ll also learn how to maintain your new gum health. Ongoing check-ups are key to preventing future problems.
