Pocket Reduction Surgery
Pocket reduction surgery in Phase 3B2, Mohali (near Phase 7) to treat deep gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. By cleaning deep bacteria and reshaping the gums and bone, it makes teeth easier to keep clean at home, reduces infection and helps save your natural teeth. Performed by MDS periodontists.
What is pocket reduction surgery?
Healthy gums fit snugly around the teeth. Gum disease destroys the supporting tissue and bone, creating deep pockets where bacteria collect and which cannot be cleaned properly with brushing or regular scaling. Pocket reduction surgery (a type of periodontal flap surgery) folds back the gum, removes the bacteria and tartar from deep in the pockets, smooths damaged bone, and secures the gum snugly back around the teeth. At Urja Dental Clinic in Phase 3B2, Mohali, our MDS periodontists perform this under local anaesthesia, with bone grafting where needed. Shallower pockets are easier to keep clean at home and during professional cleanings, helping you keep your teeth for longer.
