Gum Disease Can Be Controlled by Osseous Surgery

If you have the gum disease periodontitis, you may notice tender, inflamed and bleeding gums often accompanied by bad breath. When left untreated, this gum disease can drastically affect the bone around the teeth—and this is where osseous surgery, or “flap surgery” helps. This procedure is aimed at decreasing the progress of periodontal disease by reducing bacterial growth and encouraging tissue reattachment.

Understanding the Procedure and Benefits

This traditional dental procedure requires Dr. Kenneth Cavallari to carefully separate the gums from the teeth for a short period of time, allowing access to the tooth root and bone. Patients receiving flap surgery in Virginia Beach, VA typically experience reduced pocket depths, improved gum health and a healthier overall oral environment.

Procedure:

Before your osseous surgery procedure, the affected area will be numbed by local anesthesia, and an incision will then be made in the gum tissue. It is important to know that this procedure will provide a clean environment for the tooth, so that it can be kept, rather than lost to periodontal disease. During your procedure, Dr. Cavallari will lift the gum from the tooth, and allow for access to the affected area. Then, the surface of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned of plaque and tartar deposits.
The bone’s surface is then smoothed, and the gum tissue is trimmed to match the structure. It is then sutured into place.
After your procedure, please allow for at least six to 10 days for your stitches to be removed, unless dissolvable stitches are placed. You may need to be prescribed pain medication, so talk to Dr. Cavallari about your pain tolerance and any recommendations he may have for you.

Don't let your smile suffer get osseus surgery to minimize the pocket size preventing gum disease and tooth decay. Schedule your appointment and see how Dr. Cavallari can change your life.
