Gingival flap surgery is a dental procedure used to gain access to the root surfaces of teeth for thorough cleaning or treatment of periodontal diseases. The gum tissue is lifted and folded back, creating a flap that exposes the tooth roots. Debridement, scaling, and planing can then be performed, followed by repositioning and securing the flap in place to promote healing.

Gingival Flap Surgery in Portugal is a gum grafting procedure used to cover exposed tooth roots or improve esthetics. A flap of gum tissue is folded back, the defective area treated, and then secured back in place.
Portuguese dentists use local anesthesia for comfort during surgery. Recovery takes around 1-2 weeks with proper oral care.
