Pocket Reduction Surgery in Folsom

Dr. Borrowdale recommends Pocket Reduction Surgery in Folsom, also known as periodontal surgery, when you have advanced periodontal disease. To ensure the highest level of care, Dr. Borrowdale refers you to his in-house periodontist to perform the procedure. During the surgery, the periodontist removes bacteria, calculus, plaque, and other harmful debris that threaten your oral health. Additionally, the bone and gum tissue affected by periodontal disease are carefully reshaped. This comprehensive process helps preserve your natural teeth for as long as possible.
