What Is Osseous Surgery?

Osseous surgery, sometimes referred to as pocket reduction surgery, is an advanced periodontal procedure designed to combat severe gum disease by eliminating deep periodontal pockets, clearing out bacterial infection, and reshaping bone to restore optimal gum health.

As gum disease progresses, deep pockets form around the teeth, trapping bacteria that cannot be removed with brushing or professional cleanings alone. If left untreated, these pockets can lead to significant bone and tooth loss.

During osseous surgery, Dr. Thomas Sweeney carefully removes infected tissue and reshapes the underlying bone, reducing pocket depth and allowing the gums to heal properly. This procedure helps restore a strong foundation for your teeth and improves overall oral health.

Removing Infection and Reshaping Bone

During the procedure, Dr. Sweeney removes bacteria and diseased tissue, then reshapes the underlying bone to eliminate deep pockets and encourage proper gum healing.

Once the bone is reshaped, the gums are carefully repositioned and sutured in place to promote healing and reduce pocket depth. Over time, the gums will reattach more securely to the teeth, creating a healthier foundation.

Am I a Candidate for Osseous Surgery?

You may need osseous surgery if you:

  • Have deep pockets between your gums and teeth.
  • Experience persistent gum inflammation and bleeding despite treatment.
  • Are at risk of bone loss due to untreated periodontal disease.
  • Have difficulty maintaining oral hygiene due to deep gum pockets.

Dr. Sweeney will evaluate your condition and recommend whether osseous surgery is the best option for restoring your gum health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Osseous surgery is used when the pockets are too deep, making it impossible to clean, even with a professional cleaning.

Filled with bacteria, those pockets will erode the gums and your jawbone loosening your teeth. Osseous surgery helps prevent extractions and just could help you keep your teeth.

During the surgery, Dental Specialties Northwest folds back your gum tissue before removing the bacteria that has collected in the pockets. Once the bacterium is removed, the area is scaled and planed to make for a smoother surface. A smooth surface means bacteria won’t build up again. After the area is smoothed over, the gum is reattached so that it firmly rests against your jawbone.

Rebuild and protect your gums. Let osseous surgery restore your oral health, prevent further damage, and keep your smile strong for years to come.
