What Is Osseous Surgery?
Osseous surgery is a specialized periodontal procedure used to treat the advanced periodontitis stage of gum disease. Patients who are candidates for osseous surgery typically have moderate to advanced bone loss due to gum disease, or areas that have not responded favorably to non-surgical scaling and root planing therapy. Choosing a skilled periodontist to treat your gum disease in Duxbury and Osterville, MA is important in order to receive the highest standard of care for your periodontal health. With 31 years of specialized periodontal and osseous surgery experience, Dr. Robert Faiella blends this traditional surgical approach with advanced technology to deliver effective solutions and optimal results for your overall wellness and smile.
Our Unique Approach to Treatment
The osseous surgery process starts with a personalized consultation and review of periodontal measurements, low-radiation x-rays and clinical evaluation of gum disease sites. On the day of your gum disease surgery, Dr. Faiella gently numbs treatment areas to ensure a comfortable procedure. He then retracts the gum tissue to gain access to gum infection and irritants deep beneath the gum line. Once he has thoroughly cleansed these areas, he adds bone grafting material and biocompatible regenerative factors, such as Blood Morphogenetic Protein and Plasma Rich in Growth Factors, to encourage the body to rebuild bone and gum tissue naturally. Gum disease treatment sites are then sutured with precision and allowed to heal.
