Flap surgery can be done. Success and longevity of flap surgery depends upon the loss that has occurred in the natural structure and underlying systemic diseases if any.

Yes. Definitely can be done. But depends if there is any pre-existing systemic conditions like diabetes and other problems if any. Clinical examination is needed before anything can be ascertained.

Please visit a dentist for thorough oral examination to be able to diagnose properly.
