Gum flap surgery, also called periodontal flap surgery, is a surgical procedure used to treat moderate to advanced gum disease (periodontitis) that has not responded fully to non-surgical cleaning. A periodontist makes small, precise incisions along the gum line to lift the gum tissue away from the teeth, gaining direct access to deep root surfaces and the underlying bone. This allows thorough removal of hardened tartar, bacterial deposits, and infected tissue from areas that instruments cannot reach during a routine deep cleaning. Depending on the extent of disease, the surgeon may also smooth irregular bone, place bone graft material, or use barrier membranes to support tissue regeneration before the gum is sutured back into position. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia on an outpatient basis and typically takes one to two hours; most patients return to desk work within one to three days.
Estimated cost: ~$100 – $200
Typical tests for this treatment: Full-mouth periodontal charting and probing, Dental X-rays (periapical and OPG / panoramic radiograph), Random blood sugar (to assess diabetes control), CBC (complete blood count), PT/INR (bleeding time — if on blood thinners or anticoagulants). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.
