Oral surgery is the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects of the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws.
While we always try to use the least invasive treatment possible for a given dental problem, in some cases, less invasive treatment options are simply not sufficient and oral surgery is required.
If we do recommend surgery, we will ensure you are fully aware of your options, provide a detailed treatment plan and explain each step of the procedure and recovery process to you.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root. Your dentist will place this implant into your jawbone as part of the process of replacing a missing tooth. A tooth replacement, such as a crown or bridge, will complete the procedure.
A bone graft is a procedure where your dentist adds bone tissue to your jaw bone, making it strong enough to support a dental implant. Bone grafts can help ensure the success and longevity of dental implants by providing a stable foundation for the artificial tooth.
While it's always preferable to save a natural tooth, there are some cases where it's not possible. If a tooth is too badly damaged as a result of decay, gum disease or injury, it may need to be removed by your dentist.
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars to erupt in the back corners of an adult mouth. If the wisdom teeth are causing problems for your oral hygiene and health, your dentist may recommend removing them.
