Bleeding gums or loose teeth? They can be saved
Gum disease is quiet at first — a little bleeding when you brush — but left untreated it damages the gums and the bone that holds your teeth, until teeth loosen and can be lost. The good news: even advanced gum disease can usually be treated, and teeth that seem “too far gone” can often be saved with the right specialist care. At Pristine Dental, treatment is led by a periodontist — a dentist with extra years of training specifically in gums and the bone supporting your teeth.
THE BASICS
What is periodontal surgery?
Periodontal surgery is a group of procedures that treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis) and its effects — deep gum pockets, bone loss, gum recession and loose teeth. When a deep cleaning alone can’t clear infection from below the gums or rebuild lost support, surgery lets the periodontist clean deeply, reduce pockets, and repair or regenerate lost gum and bone — helping you keep your natural teeth.
Key Takeaways
- Treats advanced gum disease & its damage
- Usually only after non-surgical deep cleaning
- Options: flap/pocket reduction, grafts, GTR, laser (LANAP)
- Main goal: save your natural teeth
- Done under local anaesthesia — more comfortable than expected
- Best carried out by a periodontist
SYMPTOMS
Signs of gum disease
- Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
- Red, swollen, tender or receding gums
- Persistent bad breath or a bad taste
- Teeth that feel loose or have shifted
- Gums pulling away (longer-looking teeth)
- Pus, or a dentist noting "deep pockets" / bone loss
We start with the least invasive option
Surgery is never the first step. Most gum disease is treated first with scaling and root planing — a non-surgical deep cleaning that removes tartar below the gum line so gums can heal. Many patients improve significantly with this alone.
When surgery is needed
Surgery is considered only if, after deep cleaning, you still have deep pockets, ongoing bone loss, recession or loose teeth — so we can clean areas a deep cleaning can’t reach and rebuild lost support.
TAILORED TREATMENT
Types of Periodontal Surgery
Flap / pocket reduction
Gum lifted to clean deep tartar; pockets reduced.
Gum graft
Covers exposed roots & rebuilds receded gum.
Bone graft / GTR
Rebuilds lost bone & regenerates attachment.
Gingivectomy
Removes excess or overgrown gum tissue.
Crown lengthening
Exposes more tooth for a restoration or gummy smile.
Laser (LANAP)
Minimally invasive — little or no cutting/stitching.
A CLOSER LOOK
Flap surgery & the laser option
Flap surgery cleans deep infection and reduces the pocket so gums can heal snugly.
For suitable cases, laser treatment means little or no cutting and faster initial healing.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is periodontal (gum) surgery?
- It's a group of procedures that treat advanced gum disease and its effects — deep pockets, bone loss, gum recession and loose teeth — to clean deeply, reduce pockets, repair gum and bone, and save your natural teeth.
- Do I definitely need gum surgery?
- Not necessarily. Most gum disease is first treated non-surgically with scaling and root planing. Surgery is recommended only if deep pockets, infection or bone loss remain afterwards. We always try the least invasive option first.
- Is periodontal surgery painful?
- No — it's done under local anaesthesia, so you're comfortable during the procedure. Mild soreness for a few days afterwards is normal and easily managed. Laser treatment usually heals faster.
- Can gum surgery save loose teeth?
- Often, yes. By cleaning deep infection and repairing or regenerating lost gum and bone, surgery can stabilise loose teeth and help you keep them — though the outcome depends on how advanced the disease is.
- Is there a laser option?
- Yes — for suitable cases, laser treatment (LANAP) can treat gum disease with minimal cutting and stitching, usually meaning less discomfort and quicker initial healing.
- Will gum disease come back after surgery?
- Gum disease is chronic, so keeping it away depends on good home care and regular periodontal maintenance cleanings. With this ongoing care, most patients keep their gums healthy long term.
