Understanding Pocket Reduction

Pocket reduction is a periodontal procedure used to treat advanced gum disease by removing bacteria from deep below the gumline and reshaping the gum tissue to fit more snugly around the teeth. The treatment eliminates the spaces where harmful bacteria thrive and creates a healthier foundation that’s far easier to clean and maintain at home.

Benefits of Pocket Reduction

1.

Stop Gum Disease

Removing bacteria from deep pockets halts the progression of periodontal disease and prevents further damage to your gums and bone.

2.

Protect Surrounding Bone

Treating advanced gum disease early protects the jawbone from the deterioration that can lead to tooth loss over time.

3.

Easier Daily Hygiene

Reducing pocket depth makes it significantly easier to brush, floss, and keep your gums healthy with at-home care.

4.

Save Natural Tooth

Pocket reduction stabilizes teeth that have become loose due to gum disease, often saving them from extraction.
