Dental Implants
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth and roots. Implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where the teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, acting as a tooth root substitute. Posts are attached to the implant allowing for dental prosthetic attachments.
Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are removed only if they are deemed potentially problematic. There are several reasons a wisdom tooth might be labeled as problematic. Factors that determine whether or not wisdom teeth must be removed include jaw size, crowding, proper occlusion, and impaction. Often, radiographs taken at regular dental cleaning appointments will show when wisdom teeth extraction is recommended.
Nerve Injuries
Nerve injury can sometimes result from routine or complex procedures, such as root canals, wisdom tooth removal, or the placement of prosthetic jaws. When this happens, the patient will experience decreased or changed sensation in their mouth, tongue, or face. Many times these symptoms are temporary and the nerve damage will heal over time. There are times, however, when surgical intervention is necessary and it is important to have our doctors assess and monitor any possible signs of nerve damage to determine when and if surgical treatment is necessary. Most times, the majority of natural sensation will return, although it can sometimes take longer than expected.
Oral Pathology
Oral pathology encompasses oral disease, their causes, and their effects. Oral diseases have a number of causes, including biological, chemical, or physical agents or hormonal or developmental changes.
Abnormal tissues in the head and neck regions are called lesions. Different types of lesions can indicate different pathologies; such as benign lesions or malignant lesions (cancers). Our surgeons will perform a complete head and neck exam, which includes the oral cavity in order to determine if a biopsy is required.
TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders often cause discomfort in the cheek, jaw, or ear areas and can affect normal jaw function.
Gingival (Gum) Grafting
Commonly used to treat root exposure resulting from receded gum tissue, a gum graft involves removing tissue from the roof of the mouth or from gum tissue near the tooth and stitching it into the area needing gingival repair.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
There are certain clinical circumstances in which oral surgery procedures will be necessary to help prepare for or facilitate the prosthetic phase of patient treatment. These procedures may include either hard or soft tissue surgery, or even a combination of the two.
