Traditionally, gum disease is treated by eliminating the gum pockets. The infected gum tissue is trimmed away, and uneven bone tissue re-contoured. Although this is still an effective way of treating gum disease, new and more sophisticated procedures are used routinely today.
A tried and true method of managing gum disease is eradicating the places where destructive bacteria ca proliferate. Osseous Surgery simply allows Dr. Ira Simon access to thoroughly clean deposits of tartar from the roots of your teeth, at the same time he will correct any damage done to your jawbone by the gum disease.
