Oral Surgery

Oral surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, and facial regions. From tooth extractions to complex reconstructive surgeries, this specialized field addresses various issues, including impacted teeth, jaw misalignment, oral cancers, and facial trauma. Common procedures in oral surgery include wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, corrective jaw surgery, and tissue grafts for gum recession. Surgeons in this field undergo extensive training, combining dental expertise with surgical skills to ensure optimal outcomes for patients. Precision, knowledge of oral anatomy, and advanced technology are crucial in delivering effective and safe treatments.

Tooth extraction The most common type of oral surgery is tooth extraction (tooth removal). An extraction might be recommended if you have severe tooth decay, gum disease. Periodontitis), dental trauma or wisdom teeth complications. Sometimes tooth extractions are performed to prepare you for dentures or other prosthetic devices. Most dentists prefer to save natural teeth, when possible, but sometimes extractions are necessary to preserve your overall oral health. Additionally, many dentists recommend wisdom tooth extraction as a preventative measure to reduce your risk for cavities, bone loss and other problems.

Dental bone graft A dental bone graft is necessary when bone loss has occurred in your jaw. There are a couple of reasons why this may occur. A dental bone graft restores and preserves the ridge in jaw and adds volume and density in your jawbone so that dental implants can be placed later on. A bone graft reduces mobility and provides a solid foundation, keeping your teeth strong and healthy.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions or Third Molar Extraction Wisdom teeth, also called “third molars”, are the last set of molars to erupt in the mouth. When properly aligned and surrounded by healthy gum tissue, wisdom teeth may not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this is not generally the case and therefore, many people need teeth to be removed
