Pocket reduction surgery is a periodontal procedure recommended when gum disease has created deep pockets around the teeth that cannot be treated with deep cleaning alone. These pockets allow bacteria to collect beneath the gums, increasing the risk of infection, bone loss, and tooth instability.
During the procedure, infected tissue is carefully removed and the gums are repositioned to fit more securely around the teeth. This reduces pocket depth, makes daily cleaning easier, and helps prevent future bacterial buildup. At Palmetto Dental Studio, pocket reduction surgery is performed with precision and comfort in mind, using modern techniques to support healing and long-term gum health.
This treatment plays an important role in stabilizing advanced gum disease and preserving your natural teeth whenever possible.
