THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF ORAL SURGERIES

Oral surgery covers a wide variety of needs, which can stem from functionality issues to appearance preferences. At our dentist office, we provide every type of oral surgery. Our dentists are very experienced in each procedure, but here are some of the more common oral surgery procedures performed at our dental clinic:

Root Canal

When this procedure is mentioned, most people think of the worst possible surgery, but in fact, thanks to advances in medicine, a root canal is quite often relatively quick and painless. A root canal is a proven method of retaining the original tooth by removing the decay, securing the affected tooth, and then covering it with a strong composite to give it the natural feel and look it once had as a healthy tooth.

Tooth Extraction

Wisdom teeth. We all get them and more often than not, they need to be removed. Wisdom teeth can cause severe issues for patients. They can be painful, and they can also get in the way of chewing as well as other functions. Our dentists ensure that this once-feared oral surgery is conducted quickly and with as little pain as possible.

Dental Implants

For various reasons, many patients have missing teeth. In order to fill in the gap left behind; a dental implant is necessary. Dental implants are made of biocompatible material, titanium, and are screwed into the jawbone. It has a high success rate and typically lasts the lifetime of the patient. Along with dental implants, we provide dental bridges, which are often three or more combined teeth replacements screwed into place.
