ORAL SURGERY
Your Safety First – Precision Oral Surgery
What Is Oral Surgery?
When people hear the term “oral surgery,” they often think of complex, invasive procedures. In reality, oral surgery is a common branch of dentistry that includes a wide range of treatments designed to restore the health, function, and aesthetics of your mouth, teeth, and jaws. From wisdom tooth extractions to corrective jaw surgery, oral surgical procedures play a critical role in resolving dental issues that can’t be addressed with routine treatments.
Common Types of Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
The most common oral surgery, especially for impacted wisdom teeth or teeth damaged beyond repair.
Dental Implant Placement
Surgical insertion of titanium posts into the jawbone to replace missing teeth with natural looking, functional prosthetics.
Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)
Treats jaw misalignment, bite issues, or facial imbalances caused by trauma or genetics.
Bone Grafting
Rebuilds and strengthens jawbone tissue in preparation for implants or to treat bone loss due to gum disease or trauma.
Sinus Lifts
A procedure to add bone to the upper jaw near the molars and premolars, often required before implant placement.
Treatment of Oral Pathologies
Removal of cysts, tumors, or suspicious lesions for biopsy and diagnosis.
Frenectomy
Removal of the frenulum (the small fold of tissue under the tongue or upper lip) to improve mobility or speech.
