If you have advanced gum disease, pocket reduction surgery is one of the best ways to halt its progression and save your remaining teeth. Without proper intervention, your condition will only get worse, and you may lose most or all of your remaining teeth.
Pocket reduction surgery, also known as osseous surgery, aims to remove bacteria that has built up between the gums and roots of a patient’s tooth. If you’re suffering from advanced periodontal (gum) disease and are at risk of losing your teeth, pocket reduction surgery can help save your smile and restore your oral health.
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults of all ages, but seniors have particularly high rates of tooth loss due to gum disease.
