About This Treatment

Periodontal surgery treats advanced gum disease through procedures like flap surgery, bone grafting, and guided tissue regeneration to save teeth and restore gum health. Chinese periodontists use advanced techniques including laser-assisted surgery and growth factor applications at significantly reduced costs. Comprehensive treatment plans address the root cause of periodontal disease while regenerating lost bone and tissue.

Procedure Steps
1

Periodontal Assessment

Full-mouth probing, X-rays, and CBCT evaluate bone loss severity and identify treatment areas

Duration: 45-60 minutes
2

Deep Cleaning (SRP)

Scaling and root planing removes bacteria and calculus below the gumline as initial therapy

Duration: 1-2 hours
3

Surgical Intervention

Gum flaps are lifted to access and clean deep pockets, bone grafts placed where needed

Duration: 1-2 hours per area
4

Regeneration & Maintenance

Growth factors or membranes promote tissue regeneration; regular follow-ups monitor healing

Duration: 3-6 months ongoing
