Surgical Treatment for Oral Health Conditions
Oral surgery refers to the surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects that impact the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth, and jaw.
While we always use the least invasive treatment possible for a given dental problem, in some cases, these treatment options are not sufficient, and oral surgery is required.
Our dental team will ensure you are fully informed of your treatment options and thoroughly explain the surgical procedure and what you can expect before proceeding.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root. Dental implants are part of the process to replace a missing tooth and restore your smile.
Tooth Extractions
While saving a natural tooth is always preferable, there are some cases where it's not possible. If a tooth is too severely damaged due to decay, gum disease or injury, your dentist may need to remove it.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the very last molars that erupt in the back corners of your mouth as you become an adult. If the wisdom teeth are causing oral hygiene issues, your dentist may recommend removing them to help preserve your oral health.
Frenectomy
Frenectomy is a procedure to remove a small piece of tissue (frenum) connecting the cheeks, tongue, or lips to the gum area. It is commonly performed when the frenum restricts function, known as being tongue-tied, lip-tied, or cheek-tied.
