INTERVENTION
Operation FLEP
FLEP (gingival flap) surgery allows for deep cleansing of periodontal tissues to prepare teeth and gums for the placement of durable dental crowns.
Duration
1 to 3 hours
Recovery
7 to 14 days
Results
Healthy gums and a stable environment
Cleansing the gums before dental crown placement
FLEP surgery, also known as gingival flap surgery, is a periodontal procedure that provides access to the tooth roots and alveolar bone to treat gum infections in depth.
This procedure involves gently lifting a flap of gum tissue to expose the tooth roots and remove tartar deposits, bacteria, and infected tissue that cannot be removed during a simple scaling.
This deep cleaning eliminates periodontal pockets and restores a healthy gum environment.
At Nobel Dent Clinic Istanbul, this surgery is performed by periodontal specialists using modern technologies and minimally invasive techniques, ensuring rapid healing and optimal patient comfort.
Thanks to this procedure, the gums regain a healthy and stable base, essential for guaranteeing the durability and aesthetics of future dental crowns.
