OSSEOUS SURGERY TO CREATE A HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT FOR YOUR ORAL CAVITY

Nearly 65 million Americans currently suffer from periodontal disease, an increasingly common inflammatory disease that is the leading cause of tooth loss. Periodontal disease develops when bacterial plaque forms on your teeth and begins to attack your teeth and gums, creating deepened pockets in the space between your gums. These deepened pockets allow for more bacteria to accumulate, which in turn invade the bone and surrounding gums, weakening the foundation of your teeth and resulting in issues such as loosened teeth or teeth that need to be extracted.

If caught early enough, periodontal disease may be reversed through traditional periodontal intervention methods, such as scaling and root planning, change in lifestyle habits, and scheduling regular periodontal maintenance every 3-6 months. When periodontal disease has become so advanced that traditional treatment methods are no longer sufficient and regular brushing and cleaning techniques are no longer able to remove the harmful bacteria, osseous surgery (also known as periodontal pocket reduction) may be necessary. Osseous surgery is a surgical procedure that involves eliminating bacteria, reducing pockets, and smoothing damaged bone to create a healthy environment where your gums can reattach to the bone.

At Coastal Jaw Surgery, every patient who walks through our door will receive VIP Treatment delivered by Board-Certified Periodontists who specialize in identifying and treating gum disease and other issues related to the periodontium. We also provide comprehensive treatment options to ensure similar issues do not develop in the future. For over three decades, we have proudly provided thousands of patients in the Tampa Bay area with dental implant and oral surgery services, including oral surgery, Same Day Teeth®, and periodontal services. To schedule an appointment for osseous surgery, contact us today at (800) NEW-LOOK.

REDUCE YOUR RISK OF PERIODONTAL DISEASE

Although some patients are more predisposed to developing gum disease than others, there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of developing gum disease, one of the most important being practicing good oral hygiene habits at home. It may also be necessary to make lifestyle changes, such as limiting certain foods or beverages, avoiding tobacco use, or implementing a mouth rinse as part of your daily oral hygiene routine. We also strongly encourage our clients to follow a six-month ongoing maintenance program, which includes regular professional cleanings of your teeth and allows us to monitor your overall oral health. By scheduling regular maintenance, and continuing to follow good daily oral hygiene habits, you will significantly reduce your risk of developing gum disease and continue to enjoy a bright, healthy smile.

STEPS INVOLVED IN OSSEOUS SURGERY

Prior to performing osseous surgery, we will conduct a thorough examination of your oral health to determine any underlying conditions that need to be addressed, and if necessary, take a 3D cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan, which will provide us with 3D images of your bone, nerve pathways, soft tissues, and teeth, which allows us to make informed treatment decisions.

During the osseous surgery process, we will do everything we can to ensure that you experience minimal discomfort, which is why we offer varying levels of sedation, including oral sedatives, nitrous oxide, and intravenous (IV) sedation. Once you are sedated, osseous surgery will begin with a small incision being made in your gum tissue to provide access to the root of the tooth and surrounding bone. Next, we will recontour and trim any bone that has become jagged and scrape off deposits from the surface of the root. Next, we will place special proteins (GTR) that are designed to facilitate tissue growth and speed up the healing process over the area and reattach the gum tissue, after which the osseous surgery process will be complete.

AFTERCARE FOLLOWING OSSEOUS SURGERY

Following osseous surgery, post-procedural pain, swelling, and complications can be minimized or avoided if the following instructions are closely followed.

  • Post-procedural pain typically develops once the anesthetic wears off. Once you begin to feel discomfort or pain, take OTC or prescription medication as directed.
  • Place ice packs on the area where surgery occurred for twenty minutes at a time to control swelling.
  • You may experience tooth sensitivity to cold/hot temperatures, but this should go away as the healing process progresses.
  • Follow a soft food diet following the procedure, slowly reintroducing harder foods as the healing process progresses.
  • Avoid tobacco products and alcohol, as both can slow the healing process
  • Avoid spitting, rinsing, or using a straw for the first 24 hours minimum.
  • If possible, limit intense physical activity for the first three days, but most importantly following surgery.
