What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery is used to treat various conditions affecting the face, mouth, teeth and jaw and may include:

In many cases, wisdom teeth are the last set of natural teeth to emerge, often appearing during the late teen or early twenties. Additionally, it is essential to remember that not everyone needs their wisdom teeth removed. However, X-rays may reveal potential impaction, and removal may help prevent infection, jaw pain, or overcrowding issues.

Wisdom teeth may become compromised in various ways:

  1. Angled towards the Front: When teeth partially emerge from their gums but remain positioned towards the front of the mouth.
  2. When inclined toward the Back: Teeth have partially emerged but now remain tilted to face back of mouth.
  3. Vertical beneath the gums: When teeth are correctly aligned but trapped beneath gums. 
  4. Horizontal below gums: When trapped beneath gums.

Impacted wisdom teeth can cause considerable pain, swelling and infection if left unchecked, so don’t delay! Call our dental office immediately if you suspect yourself or any member of your family may be living with an impacted wisdom tooth issue.

To begin with, dental implants may be necessary for various reasons. For example, some individuals may lose teeth due to tooth decay or gum disease, while others may lose them due to genetic factors or illnesses. As a result, when tooth loss does occur, dental implants are often recommended as the solution.

Dental implant procedures usually comprise two steps:

  1. Implant Installation: Once qualified to install implants, our dentist will begin by surgically implanting the rod made of titanium into your jaw at its desired position. Over time, it will fuse with your jawbone due to titanium’s properties; eventually, fusing it completely will be part of the healing process.
  2. Tooth Placement: After the implant is placed, our dentist will have an artificial tooth created that connects directly to it.

Dental implant placement requires oral surgery skills and experience for optimal results. When successful, implants allow patients to chew properly again while also improving both appearance and oral health.

Jawbone grafts may be recommended when the jawbone mass and density have diminished, leaving loosening of teeth or an extraction necessary. To remedy the situation, we may suggest receiving a bone graft.

An osteotomy may be necessary for several reasons, including:

Support of dental implants: For dental implants to be successful and supported properly by jawbone tissue, healthy and strong jawbone structures must exist in their patient. A bone graft can make otherwise unqualified candidates eligible to receive implants.

Denture support: Dental implants offer support to dentures by building jaw strength. 

Gum disease treatment: Patients suffering from advanced gum disease often experience jawbone loss due to bacteria infection eroding bone tissue and leading to infections of gums and jawbone.

To conduct a bone graft procedure, your dentist will numb the affected area before creating a small incision in your gums to access underlying bone structures. After cleaning and treating any necessary areas, they will add grafting material that stimulates new jaw tissue formation.

Enhancing your health, function and confidence

Benefits of Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is a crucial component of dentistry, providing relief from pain, improving function, and increasing aesthetic appeal. Procedures performed in oral surgery include wisdom tooth removal, extractions, complex root canal therapy, dental implant placement, and other related dental procedures.

Besides, oral surgery procedures may be necessary to maintain oral health and prevent more serious issues later. Oral surgery forms a vital part of dentistry and offers many advantages.

Improved oral health

Teeth, mouth, and gums can be restored to their original function while simultaneously improving physical appearance. Additionally, these improvements contribute to long-term oral stability. Moreover, as oral health improves, overall health also benefits. Consequently, patients often notice better wellness beyond their smile.

Less pain and swelling

Maxillofacial surgery typically produces less discomfort and swelling than alternative therapies. In addition, it helps relieve the pain associated with dental issues. Furthermore, it can even decrease overall discomfort levels for patients. As a result, recovery tends to feel smoother and more manageable.

Enhanced living

Oral surgery can enhance your ability to chew and speak more easily. Moreover, improved function often leads to increased confidence and a better daily experience. Ultimately, these changes can elevate your overall quality of life.

How Can You Prepare for Oral Surgery?

Even though a dental implant requires several months from your initial consultation to the final appointment, this form of tooth replacement is widely considered worth the wait. In addition, once your implant process begins, you may receive a temporary tooth in the space being restored. Moreover, this temporary solution allows you to immediately enjoy the benefits of a complete smile while your permanent implant is being prepared. Furthermore, we take great pride in delivering the most beautiful smiles possible, so we will never let you leave our office with anything less than a result you can be proud of.

If you prefer not to wait for the full implant timeline, our dentist can create a treatment plan for a dental bridge. For example, this option allows you to receive your prosthetic tooth in just two appointments instead of waiting for the implant process to be completed. Additionally, we will take the time to answer all your questions regarding the advantages and disadvantages of each procedure. As a result, you can make the decision that best fits your needs.

How We Works

What Can You Expect the Day of Your Surgery?

Overall, most oral surgery procedures are performed at our dental office under sedation or general anesthesia, and you will rest for a while before returning home. When full sedation is required, however, someone must accompany you home; whether this be your caregiver, loved one, or friend, this person can ensure your safe arrival home and will assist with any immediate needs, such as filling a prescription or providing other forms of assistance as necessary.

Outpatient Procedure with Sedation

Thus, most oral surgery is performed in our office under sedation or general anesthesia, so you stay comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.

Short Recovery in Our Office

Later, after surgery, you’ll rest in our recovery area for a short period while we monitor you and make sure you’re waking up safely and feeling stable.

Escort Required After Full Sedation

Subsequently, if full sedation is used, a responsible adult—such as a caregiver, family member, or friend—must accompany you to the office and drive you home afterward.

Safe Return Home & Immediate Support

Therefore, your escort helps you get home safely and can help with immediate needs, such as picking up prescriptions, helping you settle in, and following initial aftercare instructions.

How Long Will It Take To Recover?

In summary, recovery time depends on the type of oral surgery procedure you undergo; for instance, tooth extraction takes less time than full-mouth dental implant surgery. Before your procedure, we will discuss recovery expectations and any issues that could hinder it. Should any arise, contact us immediately so we can help!
