Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is the branch of dentistry that deals with surgical interventions in the oral cavity.In general, surgery is the removal of worn teeth, the removal of wisdom teeth, and the removal of teeth to enable the straightening of teeth with orthodontic appliances. Removal of residual roots that can lead to bone infections remains one of the most important interventions.

Tooth extraction

A common dental surgery is tooth extraction, which is usually necessary to resolve disease, trauma, or an overcrowded mouth. Teeth that are visible above the gum line and can be pulled with forceps are usually removed with a simple extraction. You may undergo a surgical extraction when bone or tissue must be cut to remove the tooth. Surgical extractions usually also require stitches to close the wound. Wisdom teeth can be particularly difficult to remove, and often by the time they are surgically removed, they may be half-erupted or impacted.

Prevention of significant damage

In some cases, you will need oral surgery for a problem that is progressive. This means that the issue at hand – jawbone deterioration, for example – will get worse over time if you don't treat it. Fortunately, in this case, we can replace the lost tissue with bone grafting to prevent the problem from progressing and causing significant damage.
