Surgical Services

Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures that go beyond routine dental care, addressing more complex issues related to the teeth, gums, and jaw. These procedures, performed by specialized oral surgeons, involve surgical intervention to diagnose, treat, and manage various conditions affecting the oral cavity. Think of it as a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on surgical solutions for optimal oral health and function.

Oral Health Needs

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal: When wisdom teeth (third molars) become impacted or cause crowding, oral surgery is often necessary to extract them, preventing potential problems like infection or damage to adjacent teeth.
  • Dental Implants: Replacing missing teeth with dental implants requires oral surgery to place these artificial tooth roots into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for replacement teeth.
  • Corrective Jaw Surgery: For individuals with misaligned jaws or facial irregularities, oral surgery can correct these conditions, improving both function and aesthetics.
  • Treatment of Oral Pathology: Oral surgery plays a crucial role in diagnosing and treating oral diseases, such as cysts, tumors, and infections, ensuring the health of the oral tissues.
  • Facial Trauma Repair: In cases of facial injuries, oral surgery helps repair fractures and restore the function and appearance of the facial structures.
