Advanced gum surgery performed by experienced periodontists in Nyeri — treating gum disease at its source, reversing recession, and rebuilding the healthy foundation your smile depends on.
Gum surgery — or periodontal surgery — is indicated when deep gum infection, bone loss, or severe recession cannot be resolved through non-surgical cleaning alone. Our periodontists use precise surgical techniques to eliminate disease below the gumline and regenerate healthy tissue.
Whether you need flap surgery to access and clean deep pockets, a gum graft to cover exposed roots, or crown lengthening for aesthetic purposes, Lumina Dental provides expert, compassionate care every step of the way.
Comfortable from start to finish. Advanced anaesthetic techniques ensure you feel pressure — never pain — during your procedure.
These warning signs indicate gum disease may have progressed to a stage requiring surgical intervention.
Gums that bleed easily when brushing or on their own signal active periodontal infection.
Urgent — see us todayTeeth appearing longer than before, or exposed roots causing sensitivity, indicate dangerous recession.
Urgent — see us todayChronic halitosis despite good hygiene often means deep bacterial pockets that cleaning cannot reach.

Each procedure targets a different aspect of gum disease — your periodontist will recommend the best approach.
The gum is gently folded back to allow deep cleaning of roots and infected bone — then sutured back to snugly hug the tooth.
Soft tissue is transplanted to cover exposed roots — eliminating sensitivity, stopping further recession, and restoring a more natural gum line.
Excess gum tissue is carefully reshaped to expose more of the tooth — ideal before crown placement or to correct a "gummy smile."
A well-planned, comfortable procedure. Here's exactly what to expect from your gum surgery visit.
Digital X-rays and periodontal charting reveal pocket depths, bone levels, and the extent of disease.
The area is fully numbed. You will feel gentle pressure but no pain throughout the procedure.
The selected procedure — flap surgery, graft, or crown lengthening — is carried out with precision instruments.
Sutures secure the tissue; you receive full written aftercare instructions before leaving for a smooth recovery.
Gum surgery does more than treat disease — it restores function, stops bone loss, and often transforms appearance.
Eliminates the deep bacterial pockets that no amount of brushing or scaling can reach.
Prevents further bone destruction — keeping your natural teeth securely in place for life.
Gum grafts and crown lengthening reshape your gum line, dramatically improving smile symmetry.
Treating gum disease lowers risks linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic conditions.
