Here’s what you can expect during osseous surgery:

1. You’ll be given a local anesthetic to numb your gums.

2. The periodontist will make a small incision along your gumline. He will then fold back your gums and remove the bacteria underneath.

3. Then he will smooth down any areas where the bone is damaged or irregularly shaped.

4. If your bone is severely damaged, a periodontal regeneration technique may need to be implemented. These techniques include bone grafts and guided tissue regenerative membranes.

5. Your gums will be sewn back and covered with a periodontal dressing to help manage the bleeding.

Pedicle grafts

In this procedure, instead of taking tissue from the palate, it is grafted from gum around or near the tooth needing repair. The flap, called a pedicle, is only partially cut away so that one edge remains attached. The gum is then pulled over or down to cover the exposed root and sewn into place. This procedure can only be done in people who have plenty of gum tissue near the tooth.

A crown, also referred to as a cap, is a dental restoration that covers the entire tooth, replacing its outer layer of enamel with a new material. A crown is contoured and sized similarly to a natural tooth, and they come into contact with the opposite tooth in a normal way, allowing for food to be chewed properly. In general, a crown should feel like a regular tooth when it comes to function. Depending on the material chosen for the crown, it also can look like a perfectly natural tooth.
