Oral surgery encompasses a range of procedures designed to restore and improve the health, function and appearance of your smile. While conservative treatments are always preferred, oral surgery may be necessary to address certain dental concerns effectively. Whether you require tooth extractions, jaw surgery or bone grafting, these procedures can play a vital role in your overall oral and systemic health.
Oral surgery procedures available at Paseo Family Dental and Dentures include:
When Is Oral Surgery Needed?
Oral surgery may be recommended for various conditions, including impacted teeth, severe decay or jaw misalignment. Some of the most common procedures include:
Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is extensively damaged by decay, trauma or infection and cannot be restored, extraction may be the best option. Removing the affected tooth can prevent further complications and allow for restorative solutions such as dental implants or bridges.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often do not have enough space to emerge properly. When they become impacted or grow at an incorrect angle, they can lead to pain, infections and damage to surrounding teeth. Extracting wisdom teeth can help prevent these issues and maintain a healthy bite.
Jaw Surgery
Jaw misalignment can lead to functional issues, including difficulty chewing, speaking and even breathing. Oral surgery can help correct jaw discrepancies, improve bite alignment and alleviate discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Bone Grafting
For patients with insufficient bone density in the jaw, bone grafting can help restore lost bone structure. This procedure is often necessary for patients considering dental implants, as a strong foundation is essential for long-term implant success.
