Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery, also known as pocket reduction surgery, is a procedure that reshapes and smoothens the bone surrounding the teeth. When gum disease progresses, it can damage the bone, creating deep pockets where bacteria collect. These pockets are difficult to clean through regular brushing and professional cleaning. Osseous surgery aims to reduce these pockets, remove infected tissue and bacteria, and create a healthier environment for gums to reattach to the teeth. This process improves gum health and lowers the risk of further bone damage.
