Advanced Periodontal Surgery at Copper Canyon Dentistry

Periodontal surgery treats moderate to severe gum disease when non-surgical therapy isn’t enough. Our goal is to remove infection, reshape or regenerate supporting tissues, and create a clean, maintainable environment so your gums stay healthy long term.

When Surgery Is Recommended

  • Deep Gum Pockets Bacteria persist below the gumline despite cleanings. Hard to reach at home
  • Bone Loss Around Teeth Mobility, spacing, or changes on X-rays signal advanced disease.
  • Recurrent Infection Bleeding, swelling, or abscesses that return after treatment.
  • Preparation for Implants Insufficient bone or sinus proximity requires grafting.
  • Excess or Irregular Gum Tissue Overgrowth or uneven contours complicate cleaning.

Surgical Options We Provide

  • Pocket Reduction (Flap) Surgery Access, decontaminate, and tighten gums for easier home care.
  • Osseous Surgery Smooth and reshape damaged bone around roots to reduce reinfection.
  • Guided Tissue Regeneration Membranes and biologics encourage new bone and attachment.
  • Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift Rebuild volume for stability and future implants.
  • Gingivectomy & Frenectomy Remove inflamed or restrictive tissue to improve function and hygiene.

Technology We Use

Advanced diagnostics and instruments improve precision, comfort, and healing.

  • Cone Beam CT for 3D planning of roots, nerves, and bone defects
  • Solea and soft-tissue lasers to reduce bleeding and speed recovery
  • Ultrasonic scalers for deep debridement beneath the gums
  • Electric handpieces for quiet, controlled surgical refinement
  • 3D printing for guides and custom surgical aids; panoramic X-rays and intraoral cameras for monitoring

Frequently Asked Questions About Advanced Periodontal Surgery

Will periodontal surgery hurt?
Treatment is performed with local anesthesia, and we use gentle, laser-assisted techniques to keep you comfortable. Mild soreness is common for a few days and is manageable with recommended care.
How do I know if I need surgery instead of a deep cleaning?
If pockets remain deep, infection recurs, or X-rays show bone loss, surgery may be advised to access and rebuild areas that cleanings can’t fully reach.
What is recovery like?
Most patients resume normal routines in 3–5 days. We’ll provide a soft-food diet guide, hygiene instructions, and follow-up visits to track healing.
Can lost bone and gum tissue grow back?
With guided tissue regeneration, grafts, and proper maintenance, we can regain support in select areas and improve attachment around teeth.
Will this prevent tooth loss?
By reducing pockets and restoring support, surgery significantly lowers the risk of future tooth loss—especially when paired with great home care and periodontal maintenance.
Is laser gum surgery safer than traditional methods?
Lasers allow precise tissue removal with less bleeding and swelling, often reducing the need for sutures and improving comfort.
How much does periodontal surgery cost?
Fees vary by site number and procedure type. We provide clear estimates and offer financing options through Care Credit, Sunbit, Proceed Finance, Cherry, and Alphaeon Credit.
Will insurance cover it?
Many plans cover medically necessary periodontal surgery. Our team verifies benefits and explains any out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
What happens if I delay treatment?
Untreated gum disease can progress, causing bone loss, loose teeth, and systemic inflammation. Early care is more predictable and conservative.
