Oral Surgery

Oral surgery refers to any mouth operation. It includes procedures done on your teeth, gums, tongue or any other area inside your oral cavity.

Some of the most common include:

• Wisdom tooth removal to treat or prevent pain and infection
• Tooth extractions to remove decayed or damaged teeth
• Dental bone grafts to increase the volume and density of your jawbone
• Dental implants to replace missing teeth

There are many reasons why you might need to come see us but some reasons your dentist may recommend a consultation are: 

• Abscessed teeth
• Broken teeth
• Bone loss
• Extensive tooth decay
• Impacted teeth
• Loose or missing teeth
• Oral cancer
• Noncancerous lumps
• Sleep apnea
• TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders

 Oral surgery can correct conditions for you that nonsurgical treatments can’t.

• Better Overall Health - In combination with routine dental care, oral surgery can treat conditions that cause infection, like tooth decay and gum disease. Better oral health means improved overall health for you.
• Prevention - Preventive treatments like wisdom teeth removal can help you avoid potential problems later.
• Improved Function - Oral surgery can help replace damaged or missing teeth, reducing issues with eating and speaking.
• Aesthetics - The appearance of your teeth can have a big impact on your day to day life, including anxiety, confidence, and how comfortable you feel in certain situations. Oral surgery can help address these concerns and get you back to your best self.
