Gum surgery is a dental procedure that is performed to treat gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. There are several types of gum surgery, including:

• Gingivectomy: This procedure involves removing excess gum tissue to reduce pockets around the teeth where bacteria can accumulate.

• Flap surgery: This surgery involves lifting the gums and cleaning the teeth and roots to remove plaque and tartar buildup.

• Bone grafts: This procedure involves adding bone tissue to the jawbone to support teeth that have been weakened by gum disease.

• Improved oral health: Gum surgery can help to prevent tooth loss and improve overall oral health by treating gum disease.
• Reduced risk of infection: By removing excess gum tissue and cleaning the teeth and roots, gum surgery can help to reduce the risk of infection.
• Enhanced appearance: Gum surgery can improve the appearance of your smile by reducing the appearance of excess gum tissue.
• Reduced discomfort: Gum surgery can help to alleviate discomfort caused by gum disease, such as bleeding gums and bad breath.

After your gum surgery procedure, it may take several weeks for your gums to heal and for the full results to be visible. You may experience some discomfort and swelling during this time, but this can be managed with pain medication and proper oral hygiene.
