Gum disease is a progressive infection that left untreated can cause severe damage to the teeth, gums and supporting bone structures. While gum disease is very common, many people are unaware they have it because symptoms such as bleeding gums, bad breath or loose teeth often develop slowly. Drs. Mario Canal and Partners often recommend osseous surgery which rids the mouth of harmful bacteria to restore health to the smile.
Osseous surgery has been a reliable gum disease treatment for decades. The procedure starts with a local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout. Our doctors then gain access to areas beneath the gumline. The exposed teeth and bone are then thoroughly cleaned and the bone smoothed. The gum tissue is then reattached and you are left with a healthier smile.
Osseous surgery affords the following advantages:
Because we understand that any surgical procedure can be a cause of discomfort, fear or uncertainty for patients, we offer sedation dentistry to accompany local anesthesia. Sedation can help you stay calm and relaxed during your smile-saving treatment, and often reduces treatment time. With over 25 years of experience, Drs. Canal and Partners have saved countless smiles with osseous surgery and consistently strive to make your experience as comfortable as possible.
