Dental Implants and Oral Surgery encompass a range of advanced procedures designed to restore oral function, replace missing teeth, and treat conditions that affect the teeth, gums, jawbones, and surrounding structures. These treatments not only address medical and functional needs but also enhance the overall appearance of the smile and facial profile.
One of the most common procedures is dental implant placement, where a titanium post is surgically inserted into the jawbone to act as a stable and long-lasting replacement for the natural tooth root. Once integrated with the bone, the implant can support crowns, bridges, or dentures, offering a strong, natural-looking solution for tooth loss. Dental implants are highly valued for their durability, ability to preserve bone structure, and natural aesthetic results.
Oral surgery also covers tooth extractions, especially when teeth are severely damaged, decayed, or impacted — as is often the case with wisdom teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, or crowding, making their removal essential for maintaining oral health.
In addition, oral surgeons frequently perform bone grafting procedures to rebuild areas of the jaw that have experienced bone loss due to missing teeth, gum disease, or trauma. Bone grafting helps restore proper bone volume and density, which is necessary for successful implant placement and for maintaining facial structure.
Other oral surgical procedures include the treatment of oral infections, cysts, and benign tumors, which may form within the jaw or soft tissues of the mouth. Managing these conditions early helps prevent complications and supports long-term oral health.
In more complex cases, corrective jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) may be recommended to address misalignment of the jaws. This type of surgery improves bite function, enhances chewing efficiency, reduces pain related to TMJ disorders, and contributes to better facial balance and aesthetics.
Overall, dental implants and oral surgery play a crucial role in:
Rebuilding and restoring oral structures
Improving the ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently
Enhancing facial appearance and supporting healthy bone structure
Resolving complex dental and jaw conditions through precise surgical care
These procedures are performed using advanced technologies and techniques to ensure safety, comfort, and long-lasting results tailored to the needs of each patient.
