Flap Surgery

Restoring the foundation of your smile.

What Is Flap Surgery?

STABILIZING YOUR GUM HEALTH AND PROTECTING YOUR SMILE.

While your bone and gum tissue normally fits snugly around your teeth, gum disease can cause great damage to supporting gum tissue and bone structure. This decay can even form pockets around your teeth. If these pockets are not addressed, they can enlarge and provide ample space for bacteria to grow and create many problems.

When the bacteria are able to grow in these pockets, bone structure and gum tissue are inevitably lost. If enough bone is lost, it will become necessary to extract teeth.

To avoid this problem, flap surgery can be done to remove deposits of plaque and tartar that have built up in the deep pockets around the teeth.

As with any surgery, you will want to follow the instructions of the dentist regarding follow-up care of your gums and teeth. Proper oral hygiene after gum flap surgery should help prevent future gum disease.

I appreciate being taken it as a new patient. The experience was very nice. The staff there was welcoming, caring and and concerned and left. Feeling good about it and thank you for taking me in as a new client. I’m so glad that that happened. Take care. See you soon.

What a fantastic experience! Let's face it...who loves going to the dentist?!? I am a big fearful baby when it comes to dentistry and was incredibly anxious when faced with an emergency dental need. Dr. Fort and his whole staff made every effort to alleviate that anxiety, took their time and were very patient every step of the way. I still don't look forward to dentistry, but I now have the peace of mind in knowing that I have a dentist and team for high quality dentistry, who are patient and kind, and....pain free!

I’m very grateful for everyone working at that facility. I called last minute about the sensitive tooth and West Chester Dental Arts was the only place that was able to take me within 15 minutes. After arrival, I was welcomed and instructed what to do and what forms should I fill as a new patient. Next I was in the room when an amazing angel named Stefani helped me through my visit. The doctor was also great (unfortunately I don’t remember the name) and they both spend quite some time to explain everything to me with some treatment options and also gave quotes for both options. If you are looking for a place which treats their patients as their own family that’s the place. I will be definitely coming back.
