What is pocket reduction surgery
Pocket reduction surgery, also known as periodontal or flap surgery, is done to gain better access to the roots of the teeth.  It gives the dentist a clearer view of the entire tooth, permitting thorough debridement (cleaning), and allowing the gum tissue to attach more securely to healthy bone.
What are the benefits of pocket reduction surgery
Reducing pocket depth and removing dangerous bacteria help you maintain a healthy smile by preventing the damage caused by periodontal disease.  Deep pockets are more difficult for you and your dental care professional to clean.  Shallow pockets, combined with good daily oral hygiene and professional dental care, increase your chances of keeping your natural teeth - and decrease the chance of developing the serious illnesses associated with periodontal disease.
HOw is pocket reduction surgery done
Pocket reduction surgery is similar to other periodontal procedures.  Access to the roots is gained by elevating a "flap" of the gums.  The roots are thoroughly cleaned, removing disease-causing bacteria, and irregular surfaces on the bone are smoothed to remove areas where bacteria can hide.  The tissue is then returned to its normal place.  Most patients are back to work the next day. ​
