Complex Gum Treatments in Burley in Wharfedale
At The Burley Dental Suite, we offer expert care for patients requiring complex gum treatments. These procedures, also known as periodontal or gum surgery, are designed to treat severe cases of gum disease, such as advanced gingivitis or periodontitis, and to repair the damage caused by infection and inflammation.
Gum surgery becomes necessary when deep pockets of bacteria form beneath the gumline and cannot be managed with routine cleaning alone. It may also be required to reshape the gums, remove infected tissue, or regenerate lost bone support.
In many cases, complex gum treatment is an essential step before placing dental implants, fitting dentures, or completing bridgework. Healthy gums provide the foundation for successful long-term dental treatment, and addressing any gum issues first ensures the best possible outcome.
Our skilled team has experience in managing advanced periodontal conditions with care and precision. Whether you have been referred for treatment or are experiencing ongoing gum issues such as bleeding, swelling, or gum recession, we are here to help. By investing in your gum health now, you are protecting your overall oral health for the future.
