What is Oral Surgery?
While our dentists will always try to use the least invasive option possible for a given dental problem, sometimes, more intensive care is required. In these cases, patients will often need oral surgery.
Oral surgery includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects of the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws.
Dental Implants
During a dental implant procedure, a small titanium screw (the implant) is inserted into your jaw and will act like a tooth root for an eventual tooth replacement. This is done to replace one or more missing teeth in preparation for a crown, bridge, or other replacement option.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
A bone graft is a procedure where your dentist adds bone tissue to your jaw bone, making it strong enough to support a dental implant. A sinus lift is a type of bone graft where your dentist adds bone material to the upper back jaw to raise and increase the amount of bone in the sinus area to place a dental implant.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of a normal adult mouth. If the wisdom teeth are causing problems for your oral hygiene, your dentist may recommend removing them to help preserve your oral health.
Tooth Extractions
While it's always preferable to save a natural tooth, sometimes there are cases where that's not possible and the tooth is too far gone. If a tooth is too badly damaged as a result of decay, gum disease or injury, it may need to be removed by your dentist.
Gum Grafts
A gum graft is a procedure where gum tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth and transplanted onto another area of the gums to cover exposed roots, repair receding gums, and reduce associated symptoms such as severe tooth sensitivity or eventual tooth loss, to protect your oral health.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy procedure is designed to eliminate a frenum, the small piece of tissue that connects your cheeks, tongue or lips to your gum area. Our dentists perform frenectomies on babies, children and adults when the frenum is restricting function. This is referred to as tongue-tied, lip-tied or cheek-tied.
