What is Dental Surgery?
Dental surgery refers to specialized surgical procedures performed within the mouth to treat oral diseases, correct anatomical issues, or prepare for restorative treatments. Whether involving the gums, connective tissue, or other oral structures, our surgeries are carried out with precision, advanced techniques, and a focus on patient comfort.
Our Dental Surgery Services
Gum Flap Surgery
Gum flap surgery is performed to treat advanced gum disease (periodontitis). During the procedure, the gums are carefully lifted to remove tartar and infected tissue from deep periodontal pockets. Once cleaned, the gums are repositioned and sutured to promote healing and reattachment.
Benefits:- Reduces gum inflammation and bleeding
- Helps prevent tooth loss caused by infection
- Improves oral hygiene access
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a minor oral surgery that removes or reduces the frenum, a band of connective tissue that can restrict tongue or lip movement. It is often performed in children and adults to address speech difficulties, feeding issues, or to support orthodontic treatment.
Types:- Lingual Frenectomy – Tongue-tie correction
- Labial Frenectomy – Lip-tie correction (commonly for gap closure or denture fitting)
- Improved speech and eating functions
- Better outcomes for braces and orthodontic treatment
- Enhanced tongue and lip mobility
Operculectomy
An operculectomy is the surgical removal of the gum flap (operculum) that partially covers a tooth, most often a wisdom tooth. This procedure is recommended when the operculum causes pain, swelling, or repeated infections.
Benefits:- Immediate relief from pain and infection
- Prevents recurring food trapping and gum irritation
- Supports better tooth eruption and oral hygiene
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is dental surgery painful?
No. At TechSmiles, we use advanced local anesthesia and sedation techniques to ensure the entire procedure is completely pain-free.
How long does it take to recover after gum flap surgery?
Recovery typically takes about 7 to 10 days. We provide detailed post-surgical care to promote fast healing and comfort.
Is frenectomy necessary for braces?
Yes, in many orthodontic cases, a frenectomy is recommended to prevent a gap from reopening after braces, especially in cases of a thick or low-attaching frenum.
Will I be able to eat after operculectomy?
Yes. We recommend a soft food diet for 2–3 days post-surgery. You’ll be guided on how to maintain hygiene without disturbing the surgical site.
