Oral Surgery
Oral & maxillofacial surgery is a highly specialized area of dentistry. An oral surgeon must spend four extra years in a hospital residency to earn their degree. Because of their cross training with other kinds of doctors, oral surgeons can perform advanced procedures that general dentists cannot.
An oral surgeon specializes in working with the bone & soft tissue of your mouth. Their treatments range from wisdom teeth removal to facial reconstructive surgery. Oral surgery is more in-depth than your typical dental procedure, & normally requires local or general anaesthesia, sedation & time for recovery. Below are a few of the services that oral surgeons provide.
Oral Surgery Services & Treatments
Dental Implants
Dental implants are man-made replacements for natural teeth. The implants themselves are artificial tooth roots made from titanium & are anchored in the gum & jawbone.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes it becomes necessary for a tooth to be removed because of crowding, disease or trauma. No matter the reason, we use a conservative approach with all tooth extractions.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the last molars that an average person grows, usually emerging in the late teens to early twenties. Some people get wisdom teeth that aren’t out of alignment.
