Dental Surgery of Massachusetts

Dental Examination
At your first appointment, a careful, gentle and complete periodontal examination will be performed. It lasts from 30 minutes to an hour. During the initial examination, Dr. Sofia Ostrer will be able to diagnosis your current periodontal condition and suggest the best treatment method for each individual case.

Teeth Cleaning
This process can be done above or below the gum line and involves the scraping and removal of plaque and calculus (tartar) from the tooth. Scaling done at regular teeth cleanings usually involves the crown of the tooth. However, in more extreme circumstances, it is necessary to go further below the gum line to thoroughly remove disease causing bacteria and its by-products on the root surface. In very advanced cases, flap surgery or gingivectomy may be necessary to allow the doctor free access to the infected tooth root.

Crowns
As one of many specialty periodontal procedures performed by our office, crown lengthening is a long-lasting restorative process utilized to help patients regain a beautiful smile and allow them to eat and speak with comfort and confidence.

Gingivectomy and Gingivoplasty
Periodontal Surgery
In certain cases, periodontal surgery may be recommended to treat periodontal disease when non-surgical treatment is ineffective. We may advise procedures such as pocket reduction, soft tissue grafts or bone regeneration to treat periodontal disease. If a tooth has been lost due to periodontal disease, dental implants are always an option for permanent tooth replacement.
Deep Cleaning

Dentures
Sinus floor elevations now make it possible for many patients to have dental implants placed in the upper posterior of the mouth when years ago there was no other option other than to wear loose-fitting dentures. As a relatively new procedure, the sinus floor elevation is a graft that replaces bone between the bottom of the sinus cavity and the upper part of the jaw.

Dental Implants
For periodontal needs, bone grafts are most commonly used to restore or regenerate bone as needed prior to the placement of bridges or implants.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Flap Surgery
Osseous Surgery
Used to treat moderate to severe periodontal disease, osseous surgery is an effective procedure to reduce pockets and control infection. During osseous surgery, the gum tissue is folded back and the disease-causing bacteria is removed before the gum tissue is put back into place. In addition to bacteria removal, damaged bone may be smoothed to limit areas where bacteria can hide – allowing gum tissue to better reattach to healthy bone.
Ridge Augmentation
If a tooth is lost, a patient may seek dental implants to restore their smile. However, even dental implants need a healthy jawbone before they can be placed. Guided Bone Regeneration (GBR) or Ridge Augmentation restores the bone before the placement of implants. Biocompatible membranes and bone grafts keep the tissue out, thus allowing the bone to grow.
Bone Grafting
A bone graft may be needed in areas where bone is missing. A surgical procedure, bone grafting replaces missing bone and aids in the re-growth of new bone by placing material from the patient’s own body or an artificial, synthetic or natural substitute into the area where bone existed. The new bone growth strengthens the grafted area by forming a bridge between the existing bone and the graft material. Over time, new bone growth will replace much of the grafted material.
