Osseous Surgery

periodontics • rocky hill, nj • princeton, nj

Traditionally, gum disease has been treated by either eliminating or reducing the gum pocket to a more manageable level. Infected gum tissues are either removed or repositioned to allow for the entire tooth root to be thoroughly cleaned.

Most importantly, access is provided to treat the boney deficiencies created by the disease.  In many instances bone grafting procedures can be accomplished to rebuild lost support and lengthen the life span of may teeth. Although there are a number of new techniques that have dramatically changed periodontal therapy, osseous surgery remains, in many cases, the most predictable course of treatment for many types of periodontal problems.
