Our clinic sits in the north of the city, and this is where your gums are assessed and any surgery is carried out. Read exactly what the procedure involves, stage by stage.
Let's find a time
In brief, gum surgery with us means a single address in the northern part of the city: Unit 5, 2358 McPhillips Street. Patients in Winnipeg North can ask here about pocket reduction when deep gum pockets have stayed a problem after non-surgical treatment.
The operation itself is straightforward to describe. Gum tissue is opened to reach root surfaces that cannot otherwise be cleaned properly, the area is treated, and the tissue is stitched back in a position that should be more manageable day to day.
Explore pocket reduction surgery
Your assessment, procedure and healing reviews are all arranged at the McPhillips Street clinic.
Local anaesthetic thoroughly numbs the planned area ahead of any gum tissue being lifted.
Aftercare is matched to where the surgery was done and how much of the mouth was involved.
Five stages make up the surgery. Not all of them apply at every site, and your dentist can tell you which ones are expected in your case.
A deep pocket shelters bacteria where neither routine maintenance nor home care can follow, so access is the first job.
Once the site is clean, attention turns to the shape it will have from now on and how well you can look after it.
Pocket depth alone does not settle the matter. Bleeding, bone shape, tooth support, root anatomy, home care and overall risk are all part of the recommendation.
The surgery is one appointment in a longer sequence. Here is the order things commonly follow once you contact the clinic.
Request your visitShare what treatment you have already had. Reassessment usually comes after scaling and root planing, so that background shapes the discussion.
The areas of concern are examined to see whether they are still inflamed, still deep, and supported well enough to justify surgery.
If you and your dentist agree surgery suits the site, the numbing, cleaning, any contouring and suturing are done at a planned visit.
A later appointment looks at closure and comfort, removes stitches when needed, and tells you when normal cleaning can restart on that side.
Recovery asks for a calmer routine at the start. How much of a break you need varies with the extent of surgery, your work and how you feel, so we give guidance for your own procedure.
The clinic can talk through appointment length and estimated costs when you call. Coverage depends on your plan and the treatment involved.
Two of the spaces you will pass through on a gum surgery day.
Surgery on your gums is a reasonable thing to feel uneasy about. Being open about that helps us talk through the visit with you in a way that suits you.
Speak up if anything does not feel fully numb, so it can be looked at before treatment carries on.
Comfort choices are considered together with your health history ahead of the procedure itself.
Ask what each instrument or step is for if knowing the detail makes the appointment easier.
Protecting the result
Tissue needs time and protection to reconnect. Follow the directions you are given, because they reflect your own surgery and take priority over any general description.
Early on, skip brushing the surgical area itself and use the rinse or cleaning method provided to keep plaque away.
Steer clear of tobacco, and of any activity that could disturb the tissue or the stitches while they are doing their job.
Regular periodontal maintenance protects the shallower site over the long term, since plaque will always return without steady cleaning.

Deposits still clinging to the roots, plus inflamed tissue in the area. Irregular bone may also be contoured at selected sites if that is judged appropriate.
There is no universal figure. It hinges on how extensive the surgery was, the kind of work you do and how you are feeling, and you will be given guidance for your specific procedure.
You will be told at your follow-up, once healing has been reviewed. Until then, use the rinse or cleaning approach in your instructions and leave the surgical site alone with your toothbrush.
Scaling and root planing often settles things down without surgery. Reassessing afterward shows which particular sites stayed inflamed or too deep, so that any surgery can be aimed only where it may help.
They are removed if needed. That review also covers how the tissue has closed, your comfort and the state of your hygiene around the area.
Your assessment may point toward one of these instead of, or alongside, surgery. Read about each to prepare your questions.
