Oral Surgery

Tooth extraction is one of the most common types of oral surgery. When a tooth is too damaged to be saved, or there is not enough space in the mouth for a tooth to come in properly, extraction is done to stop the spread of decay and gum disease. Visible teeth can be pulled out without surgery, but surgery is usually needed if the tooth is stuck under the gums.

Dental implants can be used to replace teeth that have been lost. Implants are not like dentures, which sit on top of the gums. Instead, they are fused to the jaw bone, and a fake tooth is screwed on top to make the patient’s teeth look normal again. To put in an implant, an oral surgeon has to cut into the gums and the jaw bone.

Bone grafting is usually done on people who want dental implants but don’t have enough bone mass in their jaw to hold the implant. During the procedure, a bone from one part of the body is taken and used to strengthen the jaw bone.

This is done when a root canal is not enough to stop an infection from spreading from a dead nerve inside a tooth. During the procedure, the dentist will remove the part of the tooth roots that are infected and then fill the root to keep it from getting infected again.

Corrective jaw surgery also called orthognathic surgery, is used to fix problems with the jaw and face, like when the jaws and teeth are out of place. The surgery can fix speaking, breathing, bite, and sleep apnea problems.

If a tooth has more than one root, surgery is needed to cut off one. If one or more tooth roots get infected or there is a lot of bone loss around the tooth, a dentist may send their patient to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for a hemisection procedure. The oral surgeon will cut half of the tooth during the procedure. This will leave a tooth with one root that can still be used.

Wisdom teeth removal is a usual process in the field of oral surgery services.

If any person is passing through this procedure so he doesn’t need to worry about it because recovery is so fast and most people can return to their normal work routine in just a few days.

The gum is used in this procedure and if the tooth hasn’t come through the gum so dentists made a small cut in the gum to access it. It is also necessary to remove the small portion of the bone casing the tooth. The tooth can be cut into smaller portions which can make it simpler to remove through the opening.
