Tooth loss is an extremely common issue that millions of Americans suffer from on a yearly basis. As you grow older, various issues like natural wear and tear and dental disease weaken your teeth, which makes them more susceptible to tooth loss. You may also have to get tooth extractions done to deal with various issues.
Osseous surgery, also known as pocket depth reduction, is a surgical procedure intended to restore your gums to a healthier, more natural state. Your bone and gum tissue should fit snugly around your teeth, creating a protective cover from bacteria. As bacteria develop around the teeth, they can accumulate and advance under the gum tissue resulting in further bone and tissue loss.
Gingivectomy is the removal of the gingiva or gum tissue to treat conditions like gingivitis or periodontal disease, or simply for cosmetic purposes. Gingivectomy surgery can be done if you have gum recession due to aging, bacterial infections, gum injury, or gum diseases.

If you're experiencing sensitivity, pain, swelling, or any other discomfort due to a gum related disease, Gingivectomy Surgery can help alleviate this pain and your primary dentist may recommend this procedure to prevent further gum damage and for easier cleaning.If your dentist finds out that you have some periodontitis symptoms, then you may need to have the gingivectomy procedure.
Also called regenerative surgery, a bone graft is used to recreate bone and soft supporting tissues lost due to trauma or periodontal disease. If you have periodontal disease, you may be losing bony support around your teeth, and in order to avoid extractions, your periodontist may recommend regenerating the lost bone with a grafting procedure.

Dr. Vance and his team were great! Dr. Vance is very professional and makes you very comfortable during the process. I loved that he talked me through the process while working on my tooth. He let me know what he was doing every step of the way. I highly recommend Premier Periodontics!!!!
