Osseous Surgery in Tribeca, NYC
Advanced Periodontal Care with Dr. Moezinia & Dr. Nicholas Toscano
When gum disease progresses beyond the early stages, more advanced treatment may be necessary to stop its damaging effects. At Empower Your Smile in Tribeca, Dr. Moezinia and our board-certified periodontist Dr. Nicholas Toscano offer osseous surgery, a proven surgical procedure designed to treat moderate to severe periodontitis and preserve your natural teeth.
This treatment not only helps eliminate infection but also reshapes the bone to create a healthier, easier-to-maintain environment around your teeth.
What Is Osseous Surgery?
Also known as flap surgery or pocket reduction surgery, osseous surgery is a periodontal procedure that targets deep pockets of bacteria and infection that form when gum disease destroys the supporting bone around your teeth.
During the procedure:
-
The gums are gently lifted away from the teeth to allow access to the roots and bone
-
Tartar and plaque buildup are removed
-
The bone is reshaped to eliminate defects and irregularities caused by periodontitis
-
The gum tissue is then repositioned to reduce pocket depth and promote healing
​
The goal is to prevent further damage, reduce pocket size, and maintain a healthier gum-to-tooth relationship.
When Is Osseous Surgery Needed?
Dr. Moezinia and Dr. Toscano may recommend osseous surgery if:
-
You have deep periodontal pockets that don’t respond to non-surgical treatments (like scaling and root planing)
-
X-rays show bone loss around your teeth
-
Your gums are swollen, bleeding, or pulling away from your teeth
-
There is a high risk of tooth loss due to advanced gum disease
This procedure is often the best option for saving teeth that would otherwise be lost.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Your comfort is always our priority. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, and our team ensures a calm, supportive environment from start to finish. If needed, sedation options are available.
After treatment, you may experience mild soreness or swelling, which typically subsides within a few days. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow-up appointments to support optimal healing.
