Roderick A. Garcia an Albuquerque Cosmetic and Family Dentist is a 3 Best Rated cosmetic dentist in Albuquerque. Dr. Garcia provides a full range of dental procedures including Periodontal Surgery since 1983.
Periodontal Surgery is a gum and bone surrounding tooth/teeth surgery that is required when bone around teeth is lost and gingival gum tissue is inflamed and swollen. Periodontal gum pockets of 6mm and above along with x-rays will help determine the teeth requiring the Periodontal Surgery. Periodontal (gum) Scaling is always done first to reduce the gum pockets and inflammation around the teeth involved and to allow for a clean root/tooth surface for the Periodontal Surgery. Periodontal Surgery will reduce the gum pocket depths by re-contouring the bone surrounding the tooth and reducing the gum tissue height. Sometimes bone and gum tissue grafting is needed to help stabilize the teeth. The procedure has minimal discomfort and the healing occurs rapidly.
