Restoring the Foundation of Your Smile
Is gum disease threatening your smile and oral health? At Perio Implant Health Professionals, Dr. Rodriguez specializes in osseous surgery in Downtown Los Angeles, CA, to eliminate infection and restore the foundation of your teeth. Our skilled team is here to help you achieve healthier gums and protect your smile for years to come.

Osseous surgery, also called pocket reduction surgery, is a periodontal procedure designed to remove bacteria and smooth damaged bone caused by advanced gum disease. During treatment, Dr. Rodriguez cleans deep below the gumline, reshapes irregular bone, and repositions gum tissue to reduce pocket depth and promote healing.

Persistent symptoms like swollen, bleeding gums, chronic bad breath, or gums that have pulled away from your teeth may indicate advanced periodontal disease.
