What Is Flap Surgery?
Flap Surgery is a periodontal procedure used when deep gum pockets or bone loss cannot be treated with regular cleaning or scaling. During the procedure, the gum tissue is gently lifted (or “flapped”) to provide access to the roots of the teeth and the underlying bone. The area is then cleaned, disinfected, and reshaped before the gum is repositioned and sutured back in place.
