Oral Treatments & Procedures
Oral surgery includes a range of surgical procedures designed to treat injuries, diseases and defects in the oral regions, comprising the mouth, neck and jaw.
There are many reasons for having oral surgery. These include relieving chronic pain, reducing tooth sensitivity and preventing dental infections.
Your dentist may recommend oral surgery for severe tooth decay, broken teeth, gum disease, missing teeth, or jawbone deterioration.
During your pre-surgery consultation, your dentist will talk to you about the specifics of the procedure, what to expect in terms of recovery, and how the surgery will positively affect your oral health.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium screw designed to mimic a natural tooth root. Our dentists use dental implants to fill the gap left by a missing tooth, contributing to restoring your dental aesthetics. When combined with a tooth replacement, like a crown or bridge, the dental implant closely resembles the look and feel of a natural tooth.
Tooth Extractions & Wisdom Tooth Removal
While preserving a natural tooth is ideal, in certain situations it's not possible. When a tooth has suffered extensive damage due to decay, gum disease, or injury, your dentist might find it necessary to extract the affected tooth. Wisdom teeth are the last molars to emerge in the typical adult mouth. If these molars impact your oral health, your dentist might suggest removing them to maintain overall oral health.
Gum Grafts
A gum graft involves transferring gum tissue from the roof of the mouth to another area of the gums. This procedure addresses issues like exposed tooth roots caused by receding gums to alleviate tooth sensitivity, avoid tooth loss, and safeguard your overall oral health, safeguarding your oral well-being.
Bone Grafts
A bone graft is a dental procedure in which your dentist will add tissue to the jaw bone to strengthen it. This reinforcement provides sufficient jaw bone material to support a dental implant.
