Pocket Reduction

Understanding Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery, also called pocket reduction surgery, is a periodontal procedure designed to remove bacteria and smooth damaged bone caused by advanced gum disease. During treatment, Dr. Rodriguez cleans deep below the gumline, reshapes irregular bone, and repositions gum tissue to reduce pocket depth and promote healing.

Benefits of Osseous Surgery

1.

Bacterial Reduction

This procedure removes disease-causing bacteria trapped deep within periodontal pockets. Cleaning these hard-to-reach areas helps stop infection at its source.

2.

Reduced Pocket Depth

Osseous surgery reshapes bone and repositions gum tissue to minimize pocket depth. Shallower pockets are easier to keep clean and less prone to future infection.

3.

Tooth Loss Prevention

By addressing bone damage and infection, osseous surgery helps preserve your natural teeth. Early intervention protects the supporting structures that keep teeth stable.

4.

Better Overall Health

A smoother bone surface allows gums to reattach more securely. This creates a healthier environment that supports ongoing periodontal wellness.

Osseous surgery has been a trusted periodontal treatment for decades and remains one of the most effective ways to halt the progression of advanced gum disease.

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Comprehensive Evaluation

Dr. Rodriguez examines your gums, measures pocket depths, and reviews diagnostic imaging. This assessment determines the extent of bone damage and guides your treatment plan.

Anesthesia and Access

We ensure your comfort with local anesthesia before gently reflecting the gum tissue. This provides clear access to the affected bone and root surfaces.

Deep Cleaning

Dr. Rodriguez removes bacteria, tartar, and infected tissue from the area. Irregular bone is carefully smoothed to eliminate hiding spots for future bacteria.

Gum Repositioning

The gum tissue is repositioned and secured to reduce pocket depth. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Who Needs Osseous Surgery?

Persistent symptoms like swollen, bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, or gums that have pulled away from your teeth may indicate advanced periodontal disease. If you’ve noticed your teeth feel loose or your bite has shifted, bone loss may already be occurring.

Deep periodontal pockets that don’t respond to scaling and root planing often require surgical intervention. Dr. Rodriguez can evaluate your condition and determine whether osseous surgery is the right solution for restoring your gum health.
