Restoring Gum Health and Preventing Further Damage
What is Pocket Reduction Surgery?
Dentist Columbus
Pocket reduction surgery is a procedure designed to treat advanced gum disease, also known as periodontitis. In cases where deep pockets form around the teeth due to infection, bacteria accumulate and cause further damage to the gums and supporting structures. During pocket reduction surgery, our dentist carefully cleans the affected area, removing plaque and tartar from deep pockets and smoothing the tooth roots to promote gum reattachment. The gum tissue is then reshaped to fit more snugly around the teeth, reducing the depth of the pockets.
This helps prevent future bacterial accumulation and minimizes the risk of further periodontal damage. Pocket reduction surgery can also help restore the gum line, improving both oral health and appearance. This surgery is essential for patients with advanced gum disease to prevent tooth loss and preserve the integrity of the gums and bone.
