What is pocket reduction surgery?

Pocket reduction surgery (also called osseous surgery or flap surgery) is a safe, proven treatment that gives your dentist or periodontist direct access to clean those deep pockets, remove bacteria, and smooth the surfaces of your teeth roots.

Think of it as a deep clean for the areas regular brushing and even scaling can’t fully reach. It’s one of the most effective ways to stop advanced gum disease and protect your long-term oral health.

Signs You May Need Pocket Reduction Surgery

Bleeding or Swollen Gums

Gums that bleed easily when you brush or floss are one of the earliest signs of gum disease and should never be ignored.

Deep Gum Pockets

A pocket depth of 5mm or more typically indicates that gum disease has advanced beyond what routine cleaning can treat.

Receding Gums

If your teeth look longer than they used to or your gum line is uneven, your gums may be pulling away from your teeth.

Loose Teeth

Gum disease can damage the bone around your teeth, causing them to feel loose or shift position over time.

Persistent Bad Breath

Bacteria hiding in deep pockets can cause a bad taste and odour that doesn't go away no matter how often you brush.

Bone Loss on X-Ray

If your dentist can see signs of bone loss on an X-ray, pocket reduction surgery may be needed to prevent further damage.

Prevents Tooth Loss

By halting bacterial damage to bone and tissue, this surgery helps keep your natural teeth firmly in place for years to come.

Eliminates Harmful Bacteria

Deep pocket bacteria can enter the bloodstream and impact your heart and overall health. Removing them here protects your whole body.

Reduces Gum Pocket Depth

Smaller, shallower pockets are far easier to clean at home and during check-ups, making long-term gum health much more achievable.

Fresher Breath & Taste

Clearing out bacteria hiding in deep pockets puts an end to chronic bad breath and unpleasant taste that brushing alone can't fix.

Supports Your Overall Health

Gum disease is linked to heart disease and diabetes. Treating it promptly can have a meaningful positive impact on your general wellbeing.

A Healthier-Looking Smile

Healthier gums frame your teeth beautifully. After treatment, your smile looks naturally refreshed — and you'll feel confident showing it off.
