Tooth Extraction
A tooth extraction, or exodontia, is a dental procedure involving the careful removal of a tooth from its jawbone socket. Usually done by a dentist or oral surgeon using local anesthesia for a painless experience. Extractions may be needed for severe decay, gum disease, abscesses, or impacted wisdom teeth. Overcrowding or preparation for orthodontic treatment like braces can also lead to extractions. Post-extraction care instructions must be followed for proper healing and to prevent complications.
Dental implants
Dental implants serve as artificial tooth roots surgically positioned into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge. By mimicking natural teeth, they enhance chewing efficiency, restore speech function, and help maintain jawbone density by stimulating bone growth. This innovative dental solution offers long-term benefits for oral health and overall well-being.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, the third molars at the back of the mouth, typically require extraction when they become impacted, cause overcrowding, or pose potential complications like infection. This oral surgery procedure, often recommended for young adults in their late teens or early twenties, aims to prevent issues such as pain, infection, or damage to adjacent teeth.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery, known as orthognathic surgery, is a specialized procedure aimed at addressing misaligned jaws and teeth that cannot be effectively corrected through orthodontic methods alone. This surgical intervention not only enhances proper chewing function and speech but also contributes to a harmonious facial profile, restoring both functionality and aesthetic balance to the individual’s overall oral health.
TMJ Surgery
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, commonly referred to as issues affecting the jaw joint, can lead to pain, discomfort, and restricted movement in the jaw area. Individuals with TMJ disorders may experience symptoms like jaw clicking, popping, or locking. While conservative treatments such as jaw exercises, lifestyle modifications, and dental splints are often effective, in severe cases where these measures fail to provide relief, surgical intervention may be considered to address the underlying problem and improve jaw function.
Sleep Apnea Surgery
For individuals diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, oral surgeons can offer a range of procedures aimed at addressing airway obstructions. These interventions may involve removing obstructions in the throat or restructuring the jaw to optimize breathing patterns and enhance the quality of sleep during the night.
