YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Osseous Surgery FAQs
Is surgery the first step for gum disease?
Often initial treatment includes home-care support and non-surgical cleaning. Surgery is considered according to remaining pockets and other findings.
Can gums look different after surgery?
Yes. Changes in gum position and sensitivity can occur. Your clinician should explain likely effects before treatment.
Will I still need maintenance?
Yes. Periodontal surgery does not remove the need for daily cleaning and regular supportive care.
Treatment is recommended following an individual assessment. Contact the clinic to confirm service and specialist availability.
