any dental procedure that breaks the surface of the gum, like extractions, root canals qualify as well because while they don't necessarily invade the gum, they do access and kill the nerve in the tooth. So anything that affects soft tissue is considered invasive.

Cavities, root canals, gum surgery, anything that involves a drill....if it goes past the outer surface of a structure then it is invasive....doesn't necessarily have to be the gum tissue it can even be the inside of the tooth.

Gum surgery would qualify. And i think implants would also.
