Specialized Distal Wedge Procedure for Enhanced Periodontal Health
At Perfect Smile Dental Care, we offer the distal wedge procedure as part of our comprehensive periodontal treatment services. This specialized surgical technique is designed to address periodontal issues in the back of the mouth, particularly behind the last molars, where cleaning and maintenance can be challenging.
What is the Distal Wedge Procedure?
The distal wedge procedure is a surgical treatment used to remove overgrown gum tissue and reshape the bone in areas behind the last molars. This is often necessary when pockets form in these hard-to-reach areas, leading to periodontal disease and bone loss.
The Benefits of the Distal Wedge Procedure
Undergoing a distal wedge procedure offers several key benefits:
- Reduces periodontal pocket depth, making cleaning easier and more effective.
- Halts the progression of periodontal disease in the affected area.
- Helps preserve the natural teeth and bone structure by removing infection sources.
The Distal Wedge Procedure Process
Our experienced periodontists perform the distal wedge procedure with precision and care:
- The area is numbed for comfort.
- Overgrown gum tissue is carefully removed, and the underlying bone is reshaped if necessary.
- The site is sutured for optimal healing.
Recovery and Aftercare
Post-procedure, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth and swift recovery. This includes guidance on oral hygiene, dietary adjustments, and any necessary pain management. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and progress.
