What is Osseous Surgery

Understanding Osseous Surgery

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.

Dental professionals performing osseous surgery for periodontal health.

Who Needs Osseous Surgery?

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

  • Pockets Still Deep. Your gum pockets remain deep after scaling and root planing and keep collecting bacteria.
  • Uneven Bone. Imaging shows irregular bone around your teeth where bacteria can hide.
  • Hard to Keep Clean. Areas around certain teeth stay inflamed even with careful brushing and flossing at home.
  • Teeth Worth Saving. You want to protect your natural teeth before bone loss goes further.
  • Ready for Maintenance. You are prepared to keep up with regular periodontal visits to protect your results.
Your Visit, Step by Step

What to Expect During Your Procedure

Here is what to expect, one step at a time.

Request a Consultation
Step One

Comprehensive Evaluation

Dr. Rodriguez examines your gums, measures pocket depths, and reviews diagnostic imaging. This assessment determines the extent of bone damage and guides your treatment plan.

Step Two

Anesthesia and Access

We ensure your comfort with local anesthesia before gently reflecting the gum tissue. This provides clear access to the affected bone and root surfaces.

Step Three

Deep Cleaning

Dr. Rodriguez removes bacteria, tartar, and infected tissue from the area. Irregular bone is carefully smoothed to eliminate hiding spots for future bacteria.

Step Four

Gum Repositioning

The gum tissue is repositioned and secured to reduce pocket depth. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

Benefits of Osseous Surgery

Bacterial Reduction

This procedure removes disease-causing bacteria trapped deep within periodontal pockets. Cleaning these hard-to-reach areas helps stop infection at its source.

Reduced Pocket Depth

Osseous surgery reshapes bone and repositions gum tissue to minimize pocket depth. Shallower pockets are easier to keep clean and less prone to future infection.

Tooth Loss Prevention

By addressing bone damage and infection, osseous surgery helps preserve your natural teeth. Early intervention protects the supporting structures that keep teeth stable.

Better Overall Health

A smoother bone surface allows gums to reattach more securely. This creates a healthier environment that supports ongoing periodontal wellness.

    John JanssenGoogle review, April 2016

  • “I had gum surgery with Dr. Joan Otomo. She came highly recommended and for good reason. She answered my many questions thoughtfully and explained my options thoroughly. The surgery itself was quick, relatively painless and the results are ideal. Gum surgery is not inexpensive but the office offers Care Credit so I was able to pay my bill in installments over time without interest. Highly recommend. Note: I've had gum surgery before with another doctor for a similar procedure. It involved major painkillers, arranging for someone to drive me home, lots of gauze and a week of baby food. Not this time. I was able to eat soft foods, like salmon, two days after my surgery. All in all a much more pleasant experience!”

  • “I went in for a consultation and Dr Rodriguez and his staff created a welcoming environment.

I highly recommend especially if you’ve been having trouble finding a trustworthy dentist office.”

    Jiro TomiyamaGoogle review, September 2023

  • “I'm a new happy client, referred by my mother who is extremely satisfied with her work and attention she's been getting with Dr Matoska and his professional team. I'm very glad i took her recommendation, since you walk in, they greet you with a genuine smile, the place is clean and great environment also Dr Matoska spend time teaching me how to efficiently process my hygiene and i thought that was caring because he did it himself instead of sending an assistant to do it...... also they took the time to send me a welcome letter explaining my responsibilities and the expectations on their end and that gave me a sense awareness and importance as a patient. (No wonder they have so many great reviews) if you like to be treated VIP and not like a $ come visit and receive the care and attention you deserve.”
