Gum Treatment (Mumbai)

• Non-surgical therapy: This involves scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) to remove plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line. This is often the first line of treatment for mild to moderate gum disease.
• Antibiotics: In some cases, antibiotics might be prescribed to combat infection.
• Pocket reduction surgery: When deep cleaning is insufficient, this surgical procedure aims to reshape the gum tissue and minimize gum pockets where bacteria can accumulate.
• Gum grafting: This procedure involves transplanting healthy gum tissue from another area of the mouth to areas where gum recession has occurred.
• Laser gum treatment: This advanced technique uses a laser to remove diseased tissue and promote tissue regeneration.

The specific gum treatment procedure will depend on the severity of your gum disease and your individual needs. However, it generally involves:

• Consultation and diagnosis: During this initial appointment, the periodontist will discuss your medical history, perform a comprehensive oral examination, and possibly X-rays to assess the extent of gum disease.
• Treatment plan: Based on the diagnosis, the periodontist will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
• Treatment procedure: The specific procedures involved will vary depending on the chosen treatment method. Your periodontist in Mumbai will explain the procedure in detail beforehand.
• Follow-up care: Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental checkups after gum treatment is crucial for preventing recurrence.

Factors to Consider When Choosing Gum Treatment:

• Experience and qualifications of the periodontist performing the procedure.
• Reputation of the dental clinic.
• Cost of gum treatment and available payment options.
• Location of the clinic and convenience from your place.

Gummy Smile Treatment:

A gummy smile is a condition where the gums appear excessive, exposing more gum tissue when you smile. This can be caused by various factors, including overactive lip muscles, short teeth, or excessive gum tissue.

• Laser gum lifting: This non-surgical technique uses a laser to gently remove excess gum tissue.
• Crown lengthening: This surgical procedure involves reshaping the bone and gum tissue surrounding the teeth to expose more tooth structure.
• Orthodontics: In some cases, braces or aligners might be used to adjust the position of the teeth, reducing the appearance

Gum grafting is a surgical procedure used to restore lost gum tissue and bone around the teeth. This can be necessary for several reasons, such as:

• Severe gum disease: When gum disease progresses, it can lead to significant gum recession, exposing the tooth root and increasing the risk of tooth loss. Gum grafting helps rebuild lost gum tissue and support healthy teeth.
• Gummy smile: As mentioned earlier, gum grafting can be used to reshape the gum tissue and reduce the appearance of excessive gum exposure in a gummy smile.
• Dental implant placement: Prior to placing dental implants (artificial tooth roots), sufficient healthy gum tissue is necessary for proper support and aesthetics. Gum grafting can help create the necessary foundation for successful implant placement.

The specific gum grafting procedure will depend on the individual case and the amount of tissue needed. However, it generally involves:

• Consultation and diagnosis: The periodontist will assess your needs and determine the most suitable type of gum grafting procedure.
• Treatment planning: A personalized treatment plan will be created, outlining the procedure details and recovery process.
• Procedure: The chosen gum grafting technique will be performed, typically using local anesthesia to ensure patient comfort. Depending on the complexity, the procedure might involve taking a small tissue sample from another area of the mouth (donor site) and transplanting it to the affected area (recipient site). Alternatively, donor tissue might be obtained from a tissue bank.
• Recovery: Following the procedure, some discomfort and swelling are common, and your periodontist will provide specific instructions for proper care and medication to promote healing.

Similar to the overall gum treatment cost, the cost of gum grafting in Mumbai can vary depending on several factors, including:

• The complexity of the procedure
• The amount of tissue required
• The type of anesthesia used
• The expertise and experience of the periodontist
