Have Advanced Gum Disease?
Treat Symptoms With Osseous Surgery
The first stage of gum disease may not show obvious signs, but if you have advanced periodontal disease, you know the symptoms all too well: Swollen, receding, or bleeding gums, with deep pockets between the teeth and possibly even teeth that have loosened or fallen out. In addition, you may be suffering from recurring severe bad breath. If you’re living with this stage of gum disease, don’t wait to schedule a consultation with our periodontist for pocket reduction surgery or osseous surgery in Miami, FL! Treating gum disease at this stage requires surgical intervention to preserve the health of your gums and teeth. Our periodontist is a gum specialist with focused training in diagnosing and treating all stages of gum disease. Additionally, we have the expertise to replace any bone and teeth lost from advanced gum disease. With precision and skill, our team at Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants can treat your symptoms and restore your health and quality of life.
How Osseous Surgery Improves Health
Advanced stages of gum disease not only damage your oral structures but increase your risk for systemic health complications, as well. Research has shown a link between advanced periodontal disease and health conditions like diabetes, respiratory disease, cardiovascular disease, and stroke. Treating gum disease with osseous surgery in Miami, FL, can effectively restore health to your smile and improve your physical health.
During osseous surgery, we clear the calculus and bacteria that are causing inflammation and infection. Next, we trim away the diseased gum tissues and reshape the damaged bone. By restoring health to these structures, we create a better oral environment that helps preserve teeth, bone, and gums in the future while restoring proper function and smile esthetics. Without chronic inflammation affecting your systemic health, you will experience better overall health and the ability to eat, talk, and laugh comfortably and confidently.

Gum Disease FAQs
What is gum disease, and what causes it?
Gum or periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the gums and supporting tissues around your teeth. It typically starts as gingivitis, marked by red, tender, and swollen gums. Without treatment, gum disease can progress to periodontitis, leading to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
The primary cause of gum disease is dental plaque, a sticky biofilm of microorganisms that grows in your mouth over time. Dental plaque is removable by brushing and flossing but quickly hardens into tartar when you relax your oral hygiene. Only special dental tools can eliminate tartar. Dental plaque and tartar contain harmful bacteria that infect your gums.
What are the symptoms of gum disease?
Early signs include bleeding gums, bad breath, gum tenderness, and receding gums. In advanced stages, you might experience loose teeth, pus between teeth and gums, or changes in your bite alignment. Schedule an evaluation at Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants if you notice any of these signs.
How is gum disease treated?
Gum disease treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Mild gum disease (gingivitis) responds favorably to regular dental cleanings alongside diligent oral hygiene at home. Deep teeth cleaning and laser-assisted therapy treat moderate to advanced gum disease.
For severe cases, you may need osseous surgery to reshape the bone and reduce pocket depths for long-term periodontal health. That’s when you need the expertise of a skilled periodontist in Miami, Florida, to perform the procedure with precision, care, and optimal results.
What is osseous surgery, and when is it necessary?
We use osseous or gum flap surgery when deep periodontal pockets do not respond to non-surgical therapies. It involves removing bacteria and infected tissue from your roots, smoothing irregular bone surfaces, and reattaching the gums to a healthier level.
The main objective of osseous surgery is to reduce the depth of periodontal pockets so that standard oral hygiene practices can be effective. At Garazi Periodontics & Dental Implants, our skilled periodontists use advanced techniques to ensure effective, comfortable outcomes.
Why should I see a periodontist for gum disease?
Periodontists are dental specialists with advanced training in diagnosing and treating gum disease. Drs. Isaac and David Garazi offer expert-level care, advanced surgical options, and a deeper understanding of how periodontal health affects your overall well-being. Choosing a periodontist ensures you receive the highest standard of care, even for complicated cases.
Can gum disease be cured permanently?
While gum disease can’t always be “cured,” it can be managed effectively with the right treatment and ongoing care. You can control the disease and prevent future damage by combining professional help from your Miami periodontal team with consistent home maintenance.
Is gum disease treatment painful?
Don’t avoid periodontal therapy because of pain. Our office prioritizes your comfort to ensure you enjoy a stress-free experience. We use advanced technologies like laser therapy alongside modern pain management techniques to deliver gentle, effective treatment for every stage of gum disease.
