Scaling and root planing are dental procedures that are used to treat periodontal (gum) disease. Scaling involves removing plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) from above and below the gum line, while root planing smooths the tooth’s root surfaces, making it more difficult for plaque to reattach to the tooth’s surface.

Gum grafting is a surgical procedure that is used to treat receding gums or to cover exposed roots of the teeth. The procedure involves taking tissue from the roof of the mouth (palate) or another donor source, and using it to cover the exposed roots. The grafted tissue will eventually integrate with the existing gum tissue, helping to prevent further recession and protecting the roots of the teeth from decay.

Laser treatment in dentistry is the use of laser technology in various dental procedures to help remove tooth decay, reshape gums, and perform various other treatments.

Regenerative procedures in dentistry are designed to repair and replace damaged or lost tissue in the mouth. These procedures can help to restore function and aesthetics to the teeth, gums, and jaw.

Pocket reduction, also known as periodontal pocket reduction, is a dental procedure used to treat periodontal disease, which is an infection of the gums and surrounding structures that support the teeth. The procedure is used to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, which are spaces that form between the gums and teeth as a result of gum disease.

Dental crown lengthening is a procedure used to expose more of the tooth structure above the gum line, making it possible to place a dental crown, bridge or a filling. This procedure is typically done when there is not enough tooth structure remaining above the gum line to support a dental restoration.
