Gum Surgery in Etobicoke, ON

Advanced care for healthier gums and a stronger smile—right here at Six Points Plaza Dental.

Specialized Gum Treatment, Personalized for You

If gum disease has progressed beyond what cleanings and scaling can treat, surgical care may be the next step. At Six Points Plaza Dental, we provide gentle, precise gum surgery to remove infection, restore gum health, and protect the foundation of your smile. We’re here to make the process comfortable, clear, and tailored to your needs.

When Gum Surgery Is Recommended

Gum surgery may be suggested if you:

Have advanced periodontitis that hasn’t responded to deep cleanings
Are experiencing bone loss, gum recession, or tooth mobility
Need access to deep pockets for cleaning infection below the gumline
Want to reshape uneven gum tissue for better oral health or appearance
Require grafting procedures to restore lost gum or bone support

We’ll always start with the least invasive options first—and only recommend surgery when it’s truly needed.

Types of Gum Surgery We Offer

Pocket Reduction Surgery

Also called flap surgery, this involves gently lifting the gums to remove deep plaque and tartar before securing the tissue back in place.

Gum Grafting

If gum recession has exposed your tooth roots, we can restore lost gum tissue using a soft tissue graft to cover and protect the area.

Bone Grafting

In cases of bone loss due to gum disease, we may place a graft to support healing and strengthen your tooth foundation.

Crown Lengthening

We can reshape excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth structure—often to support restorations or improve smile aesthetics.
