The first step to osseous surgery is to provide you with an anesthetic or sedative of your choice. We will then retract the tissues and clear away the debris deep below the gum’s surface. We then remove any infected or diseased tissue in these areas. If necessary, we will perform either a bone grafting or a skin grafting to help build up in these areas. We will smooth out any abnormalities at the roots of the teeth, helping the gums to heal more closely to them. With osseous surgery, the procedure is quick and easier than you might think, not to mention the fact that it’s beneficial to your oral health.
