Surgical Procedures
Osseous Surgery
Traditionally, gum disease is treated by eliminating the gum pockets. The infected gum tissue is trimmed away, and uneven bone tissue re-contoured. Although this is still an effective way of treating gum disease, new and more sophisticated procedures are used routinely today.
At the Colorado Implant Institute we are very conservative in our treatment of preidontal disease. We limit surgery to where it is absolutely necessary. Non-surgical periodontal therapy often precedes surgical therapy.
