What is Osseous Surgery?

If brushing and flossing aren’t enough… There may be something deeper going on. In this video, Dr. Syeda Mahbub explains why this is happening and how we can treat it with Osseous Surgery.

When gum disease progresses, it creates deep pockets between the teeth and gums. These pockets trap bacteria that you simply can’t reach with brushing, flossing, or even routine cleanings. And when that bacteria stays trapped, it can lead to bone loss, gum recession, and eventually tooth loss.

Osseous surgery, also known as pocket reduction surgery, is designed to address the problem at its source. During this procedure, we remove the bacteria, gently reshape the bone, and help the gums reattach firmly to the teeth.

By reducing pocket depth, we make it easier to maintain your gums’ health in the long term and prevent the disease from progressing.

If you’ve been told you have deep gum pockets or advanced gum disease, osseous surgery may be the step that helps protect your teeth for years to come. Healthy gums start below the surface.
