What is osseous surgery?

Osseous surgery uses bone grafts to add bone tissue to areas where bone loss has occurred due to advanced gum disease. When gum disease is allowed to advance untreated, the bacteria can eventually eat away at the bone that comprises the tooth socket. When bone is lost, the tooth becomes weak and can fall out. By augmenting these areas with bone grafts, either taken from your own body or by using allografts from a tissue bank, osseous surgery can repair the damage and help restore oral structures damaged by disease.

How can I tell if I need gum surgery?

Not everyone who has gum disease requires gum surgery; however, people with advanced periodontal disease may require surgery to prevent further decay and eventual tooth loss. The only way to know if gum surgery could benefit you and help you keep your teeth as healthy as possible is to schedule an evaluation. Being evaluated is especially important if you have any signs of gum disease, including bleeding gums, swollen or tender gums, sore teeth, or extreme sensitivity to hot and cold temperatures.

Dr Park was super attentive and informative. She picked up on my multiple teeth fractures, which none of my previous dentists had mentioned before. She was also very gentle with the teeth cleaning. It didn’t hurt at all!

Doctor Park is the best of the best! She is so detailed, caring and communicates super well and ultimately does beautiful work. She did an amazing job on restoring my front teeth. I keep coming back to 209 dental because of her. Thank you Doctor!

The visit was amazing. All my questions and concerns were answered, thoroughly. I been searching for a place for years and finally found a place where I could get all of my dental work done. The doctor was super honest and I appreciated that more than anything. The entire staff was super welcoming and wonderful. I’d give 10 stars if i could.

Dr. Nikitayev is a gem. I was referred to him by my endodontist office and was highly recommended. Noe I can add my voice. The office is immaculate, and staff super friendly. Assistant Vanessa was an island of calm. Happy client here.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We found this place because my partner had a dental emergency and no insurance. We both have dentist phobias that have prevented us from keeping on top of our teeth cleanings etc. and so we don’t have a regular one to go to in situations like this. I looked for the highest rated dentist in the city on Google and found this place, which mentions specialty in caring for emergencies on their site. And so I got him in the door based on that. They spoke the truth! They were so kind, patient, caring and non judgmental for my partner, it made me want to go in for my own cleaning and care. Now we’ve referred several people since! I personally have been seeing Dr. Reddy, who is a gem of a human who seems to enjoy her work. my friends have seen other dentists here and we’ve all had the best experience here and think ours is the best. :) Since it was years since my cleaning, I did need some work done over the last couple months or so and I made it to all of them. Instead of anxiety and maybe occasionally postponing as I would do in the past, I almost looked forward to my appointments. They made all the costs and insurance coverage completely clear and transparent and gave me choices. I commute from Bushwick but it’s been so worth it. If you are looking for the dentist, this is your place!
