Precise Surgical Procedures to Preserve Teeth

As a sub-specialty of oral surgery, peri­odontal surgery focuses on the targeted treatment of the tooth-supporting struc­tures. When conser­va­tive measures for peri­odon­titis are not suffi­cient or struc­tural defects in the gums and bones are present, surgical proce­dures at our practice in Berlin-Friedenau enable long-term stabi­liza­tion – with the aim of keeping the tissue healthy in the long term. All proce­dures are performed under local anes­thesia. If desired, or in the case of more complex findings, we also offer intra­ve­nous sedation or general anes­thesia in coope­ra­tion with expe­ri­enced anes­the­sio­lo­gists.

Individual Concepts for Tooth Preservation and Tissue Protection

Depending on the initial findings, different approa­ches are used. Using micro­sur­gical tech­ni­ques, the gums can be thickened or widened to restore their protec­tive function. If there is already visible gum recession, recession coverage can cover the tooth root again and improve the tissue aesthe­ti­cally and func­tion­ally. In advanced peri­odon­titis that has led to bone loss, more extensive measures are often required. In such cases, we stabilize the tooth-supporting struc­tures as part of surgical peri­odontal therapy through open curettage, rege­ne­ra­tive proce­dures, or targeted bone augmen­ta­tion.
