Description of Oral Surgery:
Oral surgery
Most dental procedures done in a general dental office are said to be oral surgery, and patients who need such procedures are scheduled for it without the hassle of being placed on a waiting list in a different office for treatment.
Below are a few examples of oral surgery procedures
- Impacted teeth removal: If teeth don't appear out of the gums like they are expected to, they may result in issues like diseased tissues, crowding or infections. But this may be fixed with an easy tooth extraction. Your dentist, or in some instances, your orthodontist, will examine your mouth and suggest if any crowded and misaligned teeth must be extracted to preserve the entire integrity of your mouth.
- Impacted wisdom teeth may lead to pain, infection, and swelling of the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth can result in permanent damage to nearby bone, teeth, and gums and may sometimes result in the formation of tumors and cysts, which may destroy parts of the jaw. So, dentists recommend those with impacted wisdom teeth have them surgically extracted.
- It is not only wisdom teeth, which at times become impacted and have to be extracted. Other teeth, like the bicuspids and the cuspids, may become impacted and may lead to the same kinds of issues explained with impacted wisdom teeth.
- Wisdom teeth removal: Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are quite commonly extracted since most jaws aren't big enough to accommodate them. If they don't develop incorrectly, they may lead to shifting of other teeth, infections, and swelling.
- Improve fit of dentures: At times dentures may fit uncomfortably if a jaw has abnormalities and is without the support of the dentures. To assist your dentures to fit more perfectly, your Dental Associates oral surgeon may fix these abnormalities through bone grafts.
- Dental implants: Dental implants are tooth root replacements put into the jawbone. Artificial teeth are then connected to the substitute root that is basically a titanium rod. Dental implants are a choice to replace a tooth, numerous teeth, or perhaps all of your teeth.
- Unequal jaw development: If your lower or upper jaw doesn't develop properly, it may lead to difficulty in swallowing, breathing, eating or talking. In extreme instances, oral surgery can make a jaw structure, which is more functional and balanced.
- Cleft palate and cleft lip cleft repair: A cleft palate is a birth defect deformity where parts of the mouth and nasal cavity do not develop together properly. This leads to a gap or split in the roof of the mouth, lip or both. An oral surgeon usually takes part in the correction of these clefts.
- Facial infections: An infection in the jaws, face or neck, might need an oral surgeon to drain the diseased area and remove any teeth, which might be leading to the infection or affected by it.
- Facial injury repair: An oral surgeon may carry out surgery to repair broken bones in the face and make sure that the break doesn't lead to damage or infection of surrounding teeth.
- Sleep apnea/snoring: If you have sleep apnea or severe snoring and other treatment procedures have been unsuccessful, your oral surgeon may carry out surgery to correct these problems.
