When the gum tissue has formed deep pockets or the bone tissue got lost around teeth due to periodontitis, the dentist or periodontist may perform a pocket reduction surgery. This involves lifting the gum tissue, cleaning out bacteria and debris from the pockets, and then reattaching the gums to the tooth to reduce pocket depth.

In cases where gum recession has exposed tooth roots, a gum graft may be performed. This involves taking tissue from another part of the mouth (often the roof of the mouth) and transplanting it to the area of recession to cover exposed areas, reduce sensitivity, and improve aesthetics.

When periodontitis has caused significant bone loss, a bone graft may be necessary to rebuild the bone structure. This is often done using natural or synthetic bone material to promote new bone growth and provide a stable foundation for teeth or dental implants.

In certain cases, periodontal surgery may involve regenerative procedures using special membranes, proteins, or grafts to stimulate the regeneration of lost bone and tissue.

The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anesthesia. The process typically takes one to two hours per implant. In some cases, patients may require bone grafting to ensure sufficient bone density to support the implant.

Wisdom teeth (or third molars) typically emerge in late adolescence or early adulthood, but often cause problems due to insufficient space in the mouth, improper alignment, or impaction. Removal of wisdom teeth is typically recommended to prevent issues such as infection, tooth decay, gum disease, or damage to nearby teeth.
