What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a broad term that includes different dental surgeries. In general, each type of oral surgery involves a small incision to the teeth, gums, or jaw. Oral surgery can be used to treat a range of issues, from removing infected teeth to correcting the jaw. These procedures are often necessary to reduce pain, restore function, or improve oral health.
Types of Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions: Removal of damaged, decayed, or trapped (impacted) teeth, including wisdom teeth.
Dental Implants: Placement of titanium implants to replace missing teeth and support restorations.
Soft Tissue Grafts: A procedure that increases gum tissue around teeth, implants, or other areas of the mouth.
Bone Grafting: Procedures to rebuild bone structure, often to prepare for dental implants.
Corrective Jaw Surgery: Realignment of the jaw to improve function, aesthetics, and comfort.
Treatment of Oral Pathology: Removal of cysts, tumours, or lesions to ensure oral health.
Benefits of Oral Surgery
Pain Relief: Address the root cause of discomfort and improve quality of life.
Improved Oral Function: Enhance chewing, speaking, and jaw alignment.
Preventive Care: Avoid complications from untreated conditions, such as infections or bone loss.
Enhanced Aesthetics: Restore your smile and facial symmetry.
Long-Term Solutions: Treat conditions effectively for lasting results.
