Restore tour smile with trusted, modern solutions
What is periodontal surgery?
Periodontal surgery is used to treat advanced gum disease and reshape or restore the supporting structures around your teeth. If non-surgical treatments like cleanings or scaling and root planing aren’t enough, surgical intervention may be the next step.

Your gums are the foundation of your smile. When gum disease or inflammation goes untreated, it can lead to tooth loss, jawbone damage, and even affect your overall health. At David Hazzouri Dental, we offer advanced periodontal procedures to restore gum health and support long-term oral wellness.
Pocket elimination surgery
Also known as flap surgery, this procedure reduces the depth of infected gum pockets to remove bacteria and help your gums reattach to your teeth.
- Reduces infection and inflammation
- Makes teeth easier to clean at home
- Helps prevent further bone and tooth loss
Crown lengthening
If too much gum tissue covers your teeth, crown lengthening reshapes the gum and bone to expose more of the natural tooth.
- Preparing for crowns or restorations
- Treating a “gummy smile”
- Removing damaged gum tissue
Do you need periodontal surgery?
Dr. David Hazzouri may recommend surgery if you:
- Have advanced or recurring gum disease
- Are preparing for a restoration (crown, bridge, implant)
- Have deep gum pockets or persistent bleeding
- Experience gum overgrowth due to medication or genetics
