Frequently Asked Questions
What is osseous surgery?
Osseous surgery is a periodontal procedure that involves reshaping the bone and tissue around teeth to reduce gum pockets caused by advanced gum disease. This helps eliminate infection and supports long-term oral health.
Is osseous surgery painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Most patients experience only mild discomfort during recovery.
How long does it take to recover from osseous surgery?
Recovery from Marietta osseous surgery typically takes about one to two weeks. Our team provides clear aftercare instructions to ensure your healing process is smooth and successful.
Who needs osseous surgery?
Patients with moderate to severe periodontal disease, particularly those with deep gum pockets that don’t respond to nonsurgical treatments, are often candidates. A comprehensive evaluation will determine if this is the best treatment for you.
How does osseous surgery improve gum health?
By removing bacteria and smoothing damaged bone, osseous surgery reduces gum pockets, promotes reattachment of gum tissue, and prevents future infection, laying the foundation for healthier gums.
Can osseous surgery save my teeth?
Yes, osseous surgery is often a critical step in stopping gum disease and preserving the teeth and bone that remain. Combined with proper oral care, it can help you maintain your smile for years to come.
