Oral Surgery
Oral surgery involves various procedures to address complex issues within the mouth, jaws, and related structures. These surgeries are performed to treat conditions such as tooth extraction, jaw misalignment, and oral disease, aiming to restore function and health.
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extraction involves the removal of a tooth that is damaged, decayed, or impacted. This procedure is performed to alleviate pain, prevent infection, and address alignment issues, preparing the area for further treatments if needed.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal addresses the extraction of third molars that may cause pain or complications. This procedure is necessary when wisdom teeth are impacted or misaligned, which can lead to infections or crowding.
Dental Implants
Dental implants involve surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone to support artificial teeth. This procedure provides a stable, permanent replacement for missing teeth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw surgery corrects misalignments or deformities of the jawbone. This surgery may be needed to improve bite function, address facial asymmetry, or treat conditions such as TMJ disorders.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure to rebuild or augment the jawbone to support dental implants. It involves placing bone material into the jaw to provide a stable foundation for implants or other restorative procedures.
Oral Biopsy
An oral biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from the mouth for examination. This procedure helps diagnose abnormalities or potential oral diseases, such as cancers or precancerous conditions, ensuring timely and appropriate treatment.
