Osseous Surgery
When your gums become inflamed and infected, we look for signs of periodontal disease as a cause. Periodontal disease is commonly referred to as gum disease and can be serious. If caught early in regular checkups and routine cleanings we can provide non-invasive treatment options to stop the bacteria and gingivitis that cause the issues.
For others who have progressive gum disease, we must remove the infection and restore a healthy environment in your gum line to protect your teeth and keep you healthy. If you are suffering from advanced periodontal disease, we will perform osseous surgery.
Surgery is a word no patient is excited to hear. Dr. Askari is a well-qualified dental surgeon who is dedicated to your care and comfort. Our trained staff understands that you may be anxious or even fearful of dental care. It is our goal to provide safe and effective care while ensuring that you aren’t suffering from ongoing oral health problems.
Performed in our office, we take great care to customize your treatment and meet your needs. Preventative care is always best to avoid more invasive options such as osseous surgery. Regardless of the progression, there are safe and effective options for you at Dental Care of Ventura.
Treating Gum Disease
Attacking the underlying components of your gums, periodontal disease is an infection that breaks down the root of your teeth, the gum, and the bone deep inside of the gum. When a severe infection happens, you could lose your teeth or experience other health problems as your immune system is trying to fight the bacteria.
When other treatments such as scaling and root planing have failed to restore your oral health, we may use Osseous surgery as a corrective and preventative procedure. Ultimately, it is our goal to save your teeth and help you to maintain a healthy and beautiful smile.
