What is Osseous Surgery?
Osseous surgery, also known as pocket reduction surgery, is a surgical procedure performed to treat advanced gum disease, also known as periodontitis. Periodontitis occurs when bacteria accumulate below the gum line, causing inflammation and infection that can lead to the destruction of the supporting bone and tissues around the teeth.
During osseous surgery, our skilled periodontal specialists at Verity Smile Studio access the roots of the teeth by lifting the gum tissue. They then thoroughly clean the root surfaces to remove plaque and tartar deposits, as well as any diseased tissue. In some cases, irregularities in the bone may be smoothed to eliminate areas where bacteria can collect.
After cleaning the roots and reshaping the bone, the gum tissue is repositioned and sutured back into place. This helps reduce the depth of periodontal pockets, making it easier to clean and maintain good oral hygiene.
How Verity Smile Studio can help
Osseous surgery offers several benefits to patients with advanced gum disease, including:
Halting Disease Progression: Advanced gum disease can lead to the destruction of the bone and tissues supporting the teeth, eventually resulting in tooth loss if left untreated. Osseous surgery helps halt the progression of gum disease by removing bacteria and diseased tissue and promoting the regeneration of healthy gum and bone.
Reducing Pocket Depth: Periodontal pockets are spaces that form between the teeth and gums as a result of gum disease. These pockets can harbor bacteria and make it difficult to clean effectively, leading to further inflammation and infection. Osseous surgery reduces the depth of these pockets, making it easier to clean and maintain good oral hygiene.
Stabilizing Teeth: As gum disease progresses, the supporting bone around the teeth may become weakened, leading to loosening and mobility of the teeth. Osseous surgery helps stabilize the teeth by removing diseased tissue and reshaping the bone to provide better support for the teeth.
Improving Oral Health: By effectively treating advanced gum disease, osseous surgery helps improve overall oral health and reduce the risk of complications such as tooth loss, abscesses, and systemic health problems associated with untreated gum disease.
