WHAT IS ORAL SURGERY?

Oral surgery refers to a variety of surgical procedures performed in and around the mouth and jaw to treat dental and facial conditions. These procedures range from simple tooth extractions to complex full mouth reconstructions and are designed to restore health, function, and aesthetics to your smile.

At our practice, we use advanced techniques and technology to ensure each oral surgery procedure is safe, precise, and as comfortable as possible.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or infected to be saved. We perform both simple and surgical extractions with a focus on gentle care and fast recovery. Extractions may also be required to make room for orthodontic treatment or dental restorations.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures and involves extracting one or more of the third molars, which typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. These teeth often lack the proper space to erupt and can lead to pain, crowding, infection, or impaction. The procedure usually involves imaging to evaluate the tooth's position, followed by local anesthesia or sedation for comfort. The tooth is then carefully removed often through a small incision if impacted and the area is cleaned and sutured. Removing wisdom teeth helps prevent future oral health issues, such as shifting teeth, gum disease, or jaw pain.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is a surgical procedure that reshapes excess gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth surface. It may be done for restorative purposes such as placing a crown on a broken tooth or to improve the appearance of a "gummy" smile.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

Full mouth reconstruction involves a customized combination of treatments often including extractions, implants, crowns, and bridges to rebuild or restore all of the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw. It is ideal for patients with significant tooth loss, wear, or damage, offering a complete functional and aesthetic transformation.
