Osseous Surgery

Osseous surgery in Dublin to treat advanced gum disease and restore healthy bone structure

Osseous Surgery

Sometimes the effects of periodontal disease create permanent changes in the tooth and gum structure that will cause issues in the future. Enlarged gum pockets between the tooth and the gum line are common after having advanced gum disease. Sometimes these gaps are cosmetic in nature, and affect the appearance of the gums. More commonly, the gaps put the teeth at future risk for tooth and gum disease, as they are just one more place that plaque and bacteria can collect. Pocket reduction surgery is designed to thwart the after effects of periodontal disease and restore your mouth to a healthy state.

The goal of periodontal surgery to gain access to the tooth root and to clean the damaged areas. Once the dentist can visually see the damage, it can be removed completely. Removing the plaque and decayed gum tissue leaves a pocket between the gum and the tooth. Sometimes the gum returns to its original position, but still the pocket is present. The pocket requires more frequent cleanings as the patient is unable to get to the pockets with regular brushing and flossing. Once the swelling from the periodontal treatment has subsided, the dentist may need to suture the gum to where the bone has resorbed. The goal is to create a space large enough so it can be reached through daily oral hygiene, but small enough that it is not a breeding ground for plaque and bacteria.

I cannot thank the team at Lifetime Smiles Dublin enough! I was visiting from out of town on holiday when I had a sudden dental emergency. Being far from home and in pain is always stressful, but the care I received here was absolutely incredible. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and went above and beyond to fit me into their schedule. The service was top-notch, and the level of care and expertise shown by the dental team completely put me at ease. They handled everything with such kindness and efficiency that I was able to get back to enjoying my trip in no time.

Dr. Atul is my dentist and also my kids’ dentist from when she was working at Pannu Dental Clinic. She is amazing with children, my kids absolutely love her. She is very knowledgeable and always does an excellent job. I once had a deep cleaning with her, and it was super easy and completely painless. What I appreciate most about Dr. Atul is that she truly cares about her patients and is not money-minded at all. She always focuses on what is best for the patient. I highly recommend her.

Had a great experience at the Lifetime Smiles Clinic. I came in for an Invisalign appointment and it was really informative. Dr Atul was kind, patient, and genuinely listened to my concerns, which helped me feel comfortable to go ahead with Invisalign. The staff were also really friendly and the clinic has a calm, welcoming vibe. Honestly one of the best dental clinics in Dublin, would definitely recommend!

I recently had a dental implant procedure done by Dr. Atul at Lifetime Smiles Dublin,and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the initial consultation to the final result, everything was handled with great care and professionalism. The doctor took time to explain each step, answered all my questions, and ensured I was comfortable throughout the procedure. The implant feels natural and the healing process was smooth. I highly recommend Dr. Atul to anyone considering dental implants.
