“We are proud to offer comprehensive periodontal surgery services at select Your Smile Affiliated practices including our Freeport, Lindenhurst Village, Commack, Hauppauge, and Yonkers locations.
Our experienced team focuses on providing high-quality periodontal treatments for advanced cases of periodontal disease, using advanced technology and personalized care.”
Periodontal disease, also known as gum disease, is the infection of the tissues that surround and support the teeth. In early stages, it causes tender, swollen, and red gums that bleed easily. In advanced stages, periodontal disease can cause gum recession, bone loss, and loose teeth.
While early gum disease, or gingivitis, is reversible, advanced periodontal disease is not. In these serious cases, our experienced team may recommend periodontal surgery.
There are multiple types of periodontal surgery. The exact type recommended for your case will depend on your specific oral health needs. Common types of periodontal surgery include:
Our dentist will evaluate your current oral health, discuss your goals and preferences with you, and make recommendations for which treatment will best meet your needs.
Following periodontal surgery, it is imperative that you maintain good oral hygiene to maintain the health of your smile.

There are multiple types of periodontal surgery. The exact type recommended for your case will depend on your specific oral health needs. Common types of periodontal surgery include:
Gum grafting to reduce gum recession, protect the root of the tooth, and improve overall gum health while minimizing tooth sensitivity
Bone grafting to increase bone volume, stabilize a tooth, or prepare the jawbone for successful dental implant placement and long-term support
Gum flap surgery or pocket reduction surgery, which allows our team to clean the infected root surfaces, remove bacteria, and reduce periodontal pockets
Dental crown lengthening to expose excess gum tissue and create more visible tooth structure for restorative or cosmetic dental procedures
Guided tissue regeneration using a membrane placed between the gum and bone to encourage new bone growth and support the regeneration of healthy tissue
If you experience any of these signs, we encourage you to contact one of our Your Smile Group® Affiliated practices today. Our team is dedicated to providing you with the care you need and deserve to improve your oral health.
