Oral Surgery

The final molars that erupt on each side of your upper and lower jaws are your wisdom teeth, often known as your “third molars.” One or more of these third molars frequently erupt improperly.

An impacted wisdom tooth is the third molar with an “impacted” between the jawbone and the gum tissue. Impeded wisdom teeth can cause swelling, pain, and infection.

Additionally, it may permanently harm surrounding teeth, gums, and bones. In some cases, impacted wisdom teeth can also result in the development of tumours or cysts that can displace large portions of the jaw. To prevent future issues, dentists advise surgically removing impacted wisdom teeth.

Dental implants are the most long-term solution for tooth replacement.

Dental implant treatment involves the surgical implantation of a titanium or ceramic prosthetic tooth root or post into the jaw. The bone grows and joins directly to the implant over time.

Dental implants seem, feel, and operate exactly like natural teeth.

In order to get ready for dentures or other prosthetic devices, it may be necessary to extract some of your teeth. Tooth extraction is the most typical oral surgery procedure (tooth removal). An extraction may be advised if you have severe tooth decay, gum disease (periodontitis), dental trauma, or issues with your wisdom teeth.

When possible, most dentists try to keep your natural teeth, but occasionally extractions are necessary to protect your general oral health. The removal of wisdom teeth is also frequently advised by dentists as a preventative strategy to lower your risk of developing cavities, losing bone density, and experiencing other issues.

Orthognathic surgery, often known as corrective jaw surgery, treats skeletal issues with your jaw bones. This technique may alleviate facial imbalances, repair misalignments, or enhance chewing performance. Corrective jaw surgery is frequently used to relieve pain brought on by TMJ dysfunction (TMD).
