Oral Surgery (Extractions)
Oral surgery is a specialized field of dentistry that involves surgical procedures to treat various oral health conditions. This can include extractions of impacted or difficult-to-remove teeth, as well as minor surgical procedures.
Treatments Included:
- Wisdom Tooth Extraction : Wisdom tooth extraction is a surgical procedure to remove the third molars, which are the last teeth to erupt in the back of the mouth. This procedure is often recommended when wisdom teeth become impacted (unable to fully erupt), cause pain or infection, or crowd other teeth.
- Minor Surgeries : Minor surgeries in dentistry typically involve procedures that are less invasive than major surgery and often require local anesthesia.
Advantages & Benefits
- Resolves Complex Dental Issues: Oral surgery can address a wide range of dental problems that cannot be treated with routine dental care.
- Relieves Pain and Discomfort: Many oral health conditions can cause pain and discomfort. Oral surgery can help alleviate these symptoms.
- Improves Oral Health: By addressing underlying dental issues, oral surgery can contribute to overall oral health and well-being.
- Enhances Aesthetics: Certain oral surgery procedures can improve the appearance of your smile, such as implant placement or corrective jaw surgery.
- Preserves Natural Teeth: In some cases, oral surgery can help save natural teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
- Provides a Foundation for Future Dental Care: Oral surgery can create a healthy foundation for other dental treatments, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
