Traditional Periodontal Therapy:
Scaling and root planning: to remove bacterial plaque and calculus
Open flap debridement: to reduce harmful pockets around teeth.
Splinting: to stabilize mobile teeth

Tooth elongation (crown lengthening): to lengthen teeth in order to prepare them for veneers, and other cosmetic restorations.
