Why Periodontal Health Matters
Your gums are the foundation of your smile. When gum disease develops, it often progresses quietly—causing inflammation, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss if left untreated. Beyond your mouth, gum disease has been linked to systemic health concerns like heart disease and diabetes. At SFPDI, we focus on early diagnosis and proactive, science-driven treatments to stop this progression. Our goal is to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible and restore the health and stability of your smile.

Comprehensive Periodontic Treatments for Every Stage of Gum Health
From early intervention to advanced surgical correction, our doctors tailor every treatment plan to your specific condition, comfort level, and long-term goals. Using state-of-the-art imaging and regenerative materials, we provide predictable outcomes and faster recovery.
Flap Surgery (Pocket Reduction)
Removes deep bacterial deposits beneath the gum line, reduces inflammation, and allows your gums to reattach securely to the tooth surfaces. This precise procedure helps stabilize bone and prevent further disease progression.
Soft Tissue (Gum) Grafts
Correct gum recession and cover exposed roots using small grafts of your own tissue or donor tissue. These grafts not only protect sensitive roots but also restore natural gum contours for a more balanced smile.
Guided Tissue Regeneration
Encourages your body’s natural ability to regrow bone and gum tissue lost to periodontal disease. By placing a special biocompatible membrane, we direct healthy tissue regeneration and rebuild lost support structures.
Bone Grafting & Ridge Augmentation
Restores the strength and volume of bone that has been lost due to infection, trauma, or extractions. Bone grafting provides the solid foundation needed for long-term implant success.
Crown Lengthening (Functional & Cosmetic)
Reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth surface. Crown lengthening can correct a “gummy” smile or prepare teeth for crowns, fillings, or veneers with precision and symmetry.
Sinus Lift
Adds bone below the sinus cavity in the upper jaw to create sufficient support for dental implants. This procedure is often necessary for patients missing upper back teeth.
LANAP® Laser Gum Surgery
A minimally invasive laser therapy that targets diseased tissue while preserving healthy gums. LANAP promotes faster healing, minimal bleeding, and can regenerate bone around teeth without traditional incisions or sutures.

Are You a Candidate for Periodontal Surgery?

FAQs About Periodontal Treatment
Will gum surgery hurt?
Our modern approach, paired with anesthesia and sedation options, means most patients experience minimal discomfort. Mild soreness afterward is normal and easily managed.
How long will recovery take?
Many patients resume normal activities within a few days. Healing time varies by procedure, but we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure smooth recovery.
Can gum tissue grow back on its own?
In early stages, non-surgical treatments may help. In advanced cases, regenerative procedures such as grafting and guided tissue regeneration are needed to rebuild support.
Do you accept insurance or offer financing?
Yes. We work with most dental insurance plans and offer flexible payment options to make care affordable.
What is LANAP, and is it right for me?
LANAP is a laser-based alternative to traditional surgery that removes diseased tissue with minimal bleeding and promotes natural regeneration. We’ll determine if it’s appropriate for your condition during your consultation.
