Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is typically required to treat complex, severe, or structural dental issues that standard dentistry cannot fix. The most common oral surgery is tooth extractions, particularly the removal of wisdom teeth due to impaction or overcrowding, followed closely by simple extractions for severely decayed or damaged teeth. Other frequent procedures include root canal, dental implants for missing teeth and bone grafting to support implants.
- Wisdom Teeth Extraction: Most people lack space for these molars, leading to impaction, pain, infection, and crowding, making their removal a routine procedure, especially for young adults.
- Severe Tooth Decay/Trauma: When a tooth is too damaged for other treatments, extraction prevents infection spread and makes room for other restorations.
- Dental Implants: A popular permanent solution for missing teeth, involving a titanium post in the jawbone for stability.
- Bone Grafting: Often needed before implants if jawbone loss (from gum disease or missing teeth) has occurred.
- Root Canal: While sometimes performed by endodontists, they are a common surgical way to save infected teeth by removing damaged pulp.
You don’t need to be anxious about dental surgery. In every case, the surgery will result in a more aesthetic and comfortable smile, with a better outlook for your long-term dental health. For a consultation, please contact MVP Smiles to Book an Appointment today!
Tooth Extraction
A tooth extraction might be necessary if you have dental trauma, damage, or decay. Usually an extraction is needed when other treatments aren’t enough to save your natural tooth. If you need a tooth pulled, your dentist can discuss replacement options with you.
Root Canal
During a root canal, infected pulp from a tooth’s interior is removed, then we clean and shape the canals, filling them with a rubbery material to seal out bacteria. A crown is placed on top to restore the tooth’s function and protect it from future damage.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are designed to permanently replace missing teeth helping to restore the ability to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence. They offer a long-term solution looking, feeling, and functioning like natural teeth.
