Comprehensive Periodontal Surgery at Reston Heights Dental

Periodontal surgery treats the tissues that anchor your teeth—gums and jawbone—when non-surgical therapy isn’t enough. Our team plans each case with digital imaging and collaborates with you on clear timelines, aftercare, and long-term maintenance in Reston, Virginia.

Surgical Treatments We Offer

We tailor care to your diagnosis, comfort needs, and restorative goals.

  • Pocket/Osseous Surgery Removes deep tartar, reshapes bone, and reduces pocket depth for healthier reattachment. Great for: persistent periodontitis
  • Guided Tissue Regeneration Membranes or biologics encourage gum and bone regrowth around teeth.
  • Bone Grafting & Sinus Lift Rebuilds lost bone and prepares sites for dental implants.
  • Soft Tissue Grafting Thickens or restores receded gums for protection and esthetics.
  • Crown Lengthening & Gingivectomy Creates room for restorations or reshapes overgrown tissue.
  • Frenectomy Releases a tight lip or tongue frenum that affects comfort or function.

Technology That Improves Outcomes

  • 3D Cone Beam CT for precise bone mapping and surgical planning
  • Soft-tissue lasers for accuracy and faster healing
  • Piezoelectric ultrasonics for gentle calculus removal
  • Digital X-rays and impressions to guide grafting and implant planning

Who’s a Candidate & What to Expect

You may benefit from surgery if you have bleeding or receding gums, deep pockets, loose or shifting teeth, or bone loss on X-rays. Most procedures take 1–2 hours with local anesthesia, with 2–3 days of mild soreness and a follow-up for healing checks. We’ll provide clear home-care and maintenance steps to protect your results.

  • Personalized aftercare with diet and rinsing instructions
  • Follow-ups for suture removal and evaluation
  • Transition to 3–4 month periodontal maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions About Advanced Periodontal Surgery

Is periodontal surgery painful?
No. We use strong local anesthesia and can add sedation if needed. Expect mild soreness for a couple of days with detailed aftercare instructions.
How do I know if I need surgery?
Signs include bleeding or swollen gums, deep pockets, gum recession, loose teeth, or bone loss on X-rays—especially if non-surgical care hasn’t resolved inflammation.
What procedures help me qualify for dental implants?
Bone grafting and sinus lifts rebuild support where teeth were lost, improving implant stability and long-term success.
Will my gums grow back?
Soft tissue grafts can restore thickness and coverage in areas of recession, protecting roots and improving esthetics.
How soon can I return to work?
Most patients are comfortable returning within 1–2 days, depending on the procedure and your job demands.
Is treatment covered by insurance?
Many therapeutic procedures are covered; elective or cosmetic components may not be. We’ll verify benefits and review out-of-pocket options before treatment.
How do I prevent future gum problems?
Brush and floss daily, avoid tobacco, manage health conditions, and keep periodontal maintenance visits every 3–4 months.
