Gum Treatements
Gum treatment refers to the procedures and interventions used to address and treat various gum-related issues, such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum recession. These conditions are caused by bacterial infections, which lead to inflammation and damage to the gums, and if left untreated, can result in tooth loss eventually. Gum Diseases usually go unnoticed and slowly turn aggressive in nature. The most important cause of gum disease is plaque and poor oral hygiene but it may also occur due to an underlying medical problem such as heart disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and other such conditions. Therefore, it is important for it to be diagnosed by a dentist and caught at an early stage.
The Dental Bond in Andheri West, is one of the best dental clinic in Mumbai which provides all gum treatments and aims to restore gum health, prevent further damage, and improve the overall oral health of all our patients. Gum treatments are of two types mainly, non-surgical procedures like scaling and root planing or surgical procedures like gum grafting or flap surgery.
How do I know if I have gum disease or a problem?
You may have gum disease if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- → Red, swollen, tender gums or bad breath.
- → Bleeding gums, especially when brushing or flossing.
- → Receding gums, which can make your teeth look longer.
- → Loose teeth or a change in your bite.
- → Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth.
- → A gummy smile.
- → A change in the way your restorations or dentures fit.
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to see a dentist for an evaluation and appropriate treatment.
Non Surgical treatment options for gum problems
The treatment available for gum problems depends on the severity of the issue. Once you have undergone a thorough evaluation with one of our specialized dentists and diagnosed to have initial stages of gum disease like gingivitis, usually a professional cleaning called a Dental Scaling is recommended which can help remove plaque and tartar buildup causing the inflammation. This can also usually be followed by a Root Planing procedure to remove bacteria and debris from deep pockets if any around the teeth or subgingival curettage procedure to ensure complete pocket cleaning and promote healthy tissue attachment.
Surgical treatment options for gum diseases
If the gum disease is more severe, surgical procedures may be required to remove damaged tissue and bone, and to help regenerate new tissue. These procedures include flap surgery, bone grafts, and tissue grafts. In some cases, antibiotics may also be prescribed to help fight infection. The Dental Bond is equipped with the best dentists for gum treatments as well the latest advancements in technology like Dental Lasers which make many of these procedures painless and quick with reduced bleeding during surgery.

- Gingivectomy This procedure involves the removal of gum tissue that is overgrown, covering too much of the tooth surface. This is usually done using a scalpel or laser.
- Gingivoplasty This procedure is done to reshape the gum tissue around the teeth to make it look more natural and even.
- De-Pigmentation of Gums It is also known as Gum Bleaching. Removes black spots or patches on gums which may be caused due to excessive melanin or medication and rejuvenates the color of your gums to a brighter pink.
- Gum graft surgery This procedure is done to restore gum tissue that has receded, exposing the roots of the teeth. Tissue can be taken from the roof of the mouth or a tissue bank and attached to the affected area.
- Crown lengthening This procedure is done to expose more of the tooth surface by removing gum tissue or bone to make room for a filling or a crown.
- Flap surgery This procedure involves lifting the gum tissue away from the teeth to clean the underlying bone and tissue and remove tartar and plaque. The gum tissue is then placed back in its original position and stitched in place.
At The Dental Bond, our specialists do a thorough clinical evaluation of your teeth and surrounding oral tissue and gums and use 3D X-Rays to evaluate your bone and gum health. Once the nature and severity of the gum problem is accurately diagnosed, our globally trained dentists specialized in gum diseases and gum treatments can recommend the appropriate procedure you need to correct your gum disease. Most surgical gum procedures at The Dental Bond, are carried out with the help of a soft tissue BioLase Diode Laser, which provides many additional benefits like minimum bleeding, quick recovery, reduced post-operative pain, faster healing and eliminating the need for stitches, as opposed to conventional methods of using scalpels. Inclusion of such digital technology in routine treatment greatly enhances patient comfort and acceptance towards such treatments.
