What Are the Most Common Types of Oral Surgery?
Although you may require oral surgery for various reasons, here are the most common ones we perform:
Teeth Extractions: Wisdom teeth, also known as the third molars, are notorious for causing a host of dental problems. They often become impacted or trapped between the jawbone and the gum tissue, leading to infection, which can damage the nearby teeth and bone. We may recommend the removal of problematic wisdom teeth to prevent any complications. Most patients recover from the procedure with minimal discomfort in just a few days.
Bone Grafts: Implant surgery requires adequate bone mass to ensure the procedure's success. If you've been missing one or more teeth for a while and the bone in the area has deteriorated, a bone graft will ensure you are a candidate for an implant. The surgery involves making a small incision in the gums to access the bone and placing grafting material. Your body will build new bone around the graft, leaving you with sufficient bone mass to support your dental implant.
