oral surgery
Surgical treatment for conditions affecting the teeth, mouth, and jaw. Oral Surgery involves the surgical diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the teeth, gums, jaw, and other structures of the mouth. Some dental conditions cannot be adequately treated through routine procedures and may require surgical intervention.
Clinical evaluation, treatment planning, appropriate extraction procedures, and post-operative instructions.
Tooth extraction involves removing a tooth when it cannot be predictably maintained or when removal is necessary for the patient's oral health. Extraction may be considered for severely damaged teeth, certain infections, problematic teeth, or other dental conditions.
Some teeth require a more involved surgical procedure because of their position, condition, or surrounding structures. This may occur when a tooth is partially erupted, impacted, severely broken down, or difficult to access.
An impacted tooth is a tooth that does not fully emerge into the mouth because it is blocked by another tooth, bone, gum tissue, or its position. Wisdom teeth are among the teeth most commonly associated with impaction.
Depending on the patient's condition, oral surgery may also involve other minor surgical procedures involving the oral tissues and supporting structures. The specific procedure depends on the diagnosis and clinical assessmen
