Osseous Surgery: A Solution for Periodontal Pockets

Osseous surgery, also known as pocket reduction surgery, is a procedure that gets rid of bacteria living in pockets. During the procedure, a surgeon cuts back your gums, removes the bacteria, and reshapes the bone. This helps reduce the depth of the pockets and makes it easier to keep your teeth clean. Osseous surgery is typically recommended for people with moderate to severe periodontitis.

Frenectomy vs. Frenotomy: What’s the Difference?

Frenectomy and frenotomy are two oral surgery procedures that treat lip-tie or tongue-tie. During a frenectomy, your surgeon cuts or modifies a frenum (also called frenulum) — a band of connective tissue that joins two areas. In contrast, during a frenotomy, your surgeon only makes a small incision in the frenum. Frenotomy is a less invasive procedure than frenectomy and is typically used for infants with feeding difficulties.

Periodontics and Esthetic Dentistry: A Comprehensive Guide

Periodontics is a branch of dentistry that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of gum disease. It involves the use of both surgical and non-surgical techniques to restore the health of your gums. Esthetic dentistry, on the other hand, is a field of dentistry that focuses on improving the appearance of your teeth. By combining the two, you can achieve both healthy gums and a beautiful smile.
