Flap surgery
Fast facts
Flap surgery is a deep tissue cleaning used if other treatments fail.
It gets rid of bacteria and tartar buildup within the gums. In order to perform this surgery, a periodontist lifts up the gums and then puts them back in place when the procedure is over.
Sometimes the teeth appear even longer after flap surgery because the gums fit more closely around them, thus also helping with reducing the mobility of a tooth.
