Oral Surgery
Oral surgery involves a range of specialized procedures performed within the mouth and jaw to address complex dental issues. These surgeries are designed to restore health, function, and aesthetics, helping you maintain a pain-free and fully functional smile. Whether you’re facing tooth extraction, jaw issues, or the need for dental implants, our team is here to guide you through the process with expert care.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction is the process of removing a tooth that is damaged, infected, or causing other dental issues. This procedure is often necessary when a tooth cannot be saved through other treatments due to severe decay, infection, overcrowding, or injury. Tooth extraction can also be performed as part of an orthodontic treatment plan to create space for other teeth. Our team ensures that the extraction is performed with minimal discomfort, providing you with appropriate care and recovery instructions for a smooth healing process.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. The procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong and durable foundation for an artificial tooth (crown). This mimics the natural tooth structure and function, offering a reliable solution for tooth loss. Dental implants not only improve the appearance of your smile but also restore chewing ability and prevent bone loss that can occur with missing teeth. Implants are a permanent and stable option for those looking to enhance their smile and dental health.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, the third set of molars, often cause problems when they become impacted, misaligned, or infected. Wisdom teeth removal is a surgical procedure aimed at extracting these teeth to prevent further complications such as pain, infection, crowding, and damage to surrounding teeth. The procedure is typically done under local or general anesthesia, and our skilled oral surgeons take care to ensure the process is comfortable and efficient. Early removal of wisdom teeth can help prevent more serious issues in the future and ensure the long-term health of your smile.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, is performed to address misalignment of the upper and lower jaw. This procedure aims to correct bite issues, such as overbites, underbites, or crossbites, that may cause difficulty chewing, speaking, or even breathing. By repositioning the jawbones, corrective jaw surgery can improve both function and appearance, leading to better facial symmetry and a more natural bite. The surgery can also help alleviate pain caused by jaw-related conditions, such as TMJ disorders, and improve overall quality of life.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild or augment jawbone density, particularly when there is insufficient bone structure to support dental implants. Whether due to tooth loss, trauma, or congenital defects, bone loss can compromise the success of implants. During bone grafting, bone material is added to the jawbone to encourage new bone growth and create a stable foundation for the placement of dental implants. This procedure is essential for ensuring the long-term success and stability of dental implants and can improve overall oral health.
Oral Biopsy
An oral biopsy involves the removal of a small sample of tissue from the mouth to diagnose abnormalities or potential oral diseases. This procedure is often recommended if there are unusual growths, sores, or lesions in the mouth that don’t heal or seem suspicious. The sample is then analyzed in a lab to determine if there are signs of oral cancer or other oral health conditions. Early detection through an oral biopsy ensures that potential issues are addressed promptly, allowing for more effective treatment and better outcomes.
