Periodontal Surgeries

Osseous surgery (or pocket reduction surgery) treats periodontal disease and prevent future tooth loss. 

The gums are pulled back to remove bacteria deep inside pockets while damaged bones with irregular surfaces are also smoothed out.

Crown lengthening is done to make teeth longer to improve esthetic of gummy smiles or create space for dental crowns/ veneers. 

Excess gum and bone tissue is reshaped to expose more of the natural tooth. 

This is a minor surgical procedure with minimal postoperative discomfort.

Crown lengthening is often performed with other dental procedures like crowns or veneer to give the patient optimal esthetic result.
