Understanding Your Surgical Options
Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to address complex dental issues. One of the most common is tooth extraction. While we always aim to save a natural tooth, sometimes removal is necessary due to severe decay, damage, or crowding. This includes wisdom teeth removal, a frequent procedure for young adults to prevent future problems like impaction and infection. We also perform crown lengthening, a subtle but impactful surgery that reshapes the gum line to expose more of the tooth, often preparing it for a perfect crown fitting.
Rebuilding Your Smile with Dental Implants
For those with missing teeth, dental implants offer a permanent and natural looking solution. An implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as a new root for a replacement tooth. It provides unparalleled stability for a single crown or a bridge. For patients missing most or all of their teeth, we offer the innovative All on 4 treatment concept. This remarkable procedure uses just four strategically placed implants to support a full arch of beautiful, functional teeth, often in a single appointment.
Advanced Oral Surgery and Implants Procedures
Sometimes, preparatory work is needed to ensure the best results. If you have experienced bone loss in your jaw, a bone grafting procedure may be required. This process rebuilds a solid foundation, making it possible for you to receive dental implants successfully. On the other hand, if a tooth is deeply infected, our focus shifts to saving it. This is where endodontics, or root canal therapy, comes in. An endodontic procedure carefully removes the infected pulp inside the tooth, cleans the canals, and seals them to prevent reinfection. It is a highly effective way to relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth structure.
