Osseous Surgery Addresses
Advanced Periodontitis
Why is Osseous Surgery Necessary?
Periodontal disease is an oral infection causing damage to the structures supporting the teeth – the gums, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone tissue. When periodontal infection progresses to the point of moderate to advanced bone determination, the teeth become at significant risk of being lost. Furthermore, systemic health conditions linked to periodontal disease also become a concern, as harmful oral bacteria make their way into other areas of the body.
To protect your overall health and save your teeth from the perilous effects of periodontal disease, Dr. Amarik Singh offers osseous surgery in Oakbrook Terrace, IL.

Explore the Benefits of Flap Surgery
Osseous surgery is typically performed in quadrants, or sections of the mouth. To begin, Dr. Singh anesthetizes the treatment site for maximum comfort, and retracts the gum tissue covering the roots and bone, gaining access to deep areas of infection. The tooth roots are cleaned of plaque and tartar deposits and the bone smoothed of any rough surface areas created by bacteria. He then expertly trims infected gum tissue and sutures the site for healing to begin.
