Regenerative and surgical periodontal procedures are used to repair damage caused by gum disease and to support the long-term stability of teeth. These treatments focus on restoring healthy bone and gum tissue around natural teeth. Careful surgical techniques can help improve function, comfort, and long-term oral health.
These procedures help control infection and restore the structures that support the teeth. Treatment can improve long-term tooth stability, reduce areas that trap bacteria, and support overall oral health. In many cases, surgical therapy can help preserve natural teeth that might otherwise be at risk.
Dr. Gerald Kryshtalskyj works closely with referring dentists to ensure treatment is carefully coordinated. Surgical care is provided when needed, and patients are returned to their general dentist for ongoing maintenance and restorative care. This collaborative approach supports continuity and long-term stability.
Patients begin with a comprehensive consultation and examination to understand their condition and available treatment options. Procedures are performed with careful attention to comfort and safety in a calm clinical environment. Clear instructions and follow-up care help support proper healing after treatment.
Treatment may include regenerative procedures designed to rebuild lost bone and supporting tissues. Other procedures may include soft tissue grafting to treat gum recession, crown lengthening to improve tooth structure for restoration, or surgical access to treat areas affected by periodontal disease. Each treatment is carefully planned according to the patient’s individual needs.
For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, sedation options may be available to help improve comfort. Depending on the situation, oral sedation or nitrous oxide may be used to help patients feel relaxed during treatment. These options are discussed in advance to ensure care is delivered safely and comfortably.
Surgery may be recommended when gum disease has affected the supporting bone or when non-surgical treatment alone is not sufficient.
In certain cases, regenerative procedures can help restore lost bone and supporting tissues around teeth.
Procedures are performed with local anesthesia, and sedation options may also be available to help improve comfort.
Yes. Once periodontal disease is stabilized, ongoing maintenance care is shared between Dr. Gerald Kryshtalskyj’s office and your general dentist. This coordinated approach helps support long-term gum health and stability.
