Oral Surgery Warner
Oral surgery refers to a wide range of procedures that are used to treat and diagnose problems involving your teeth, jaws, and face. Also referred to as oral and maxillofacial surgery, oral surgery can be performed by a dentist or an oral surgeon.
Whether you need a tooth extraction or implant surgery, your board-certified doctors at Warner Lakes Dental perform surgical procedures using advanced techniques and pain-free methods.
When is Oral Surgery Needed?
There are several dental conditions that require more than a simple checkup or clean and scale. Most people feel uncomfortable when they hear the word “surgery”. But don’t panic. Your Warner dentist is here to assure you that oral surgery is important and tell you why it can be an essential part of your dental care.
Impacted wisdom teeth – if your wisdom tooth is causing you problems, such as pain and infection, your dentist may perform wisdom tooth removal. Your dentist will surgically remove the impacted tooth to prevent damage to nearby teeth and gums.
Dental implants – implant dentistry is a tooth replacement procedure that requires surgical placement of titanium posts into the jawbone to create a strong foundation for natural-looking replacement teeth. Dental implants are the most modern way to restore the look and function of your teeth.
Jaw problems – the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be a source of pain, popping, stiffness of the jaw, and headache. Patients with TMJ disorder can be treated with splints and physical therapy. For advanced cases, your dentist may recommend joint surgery.
Sleep apnoea – a serious dental problem and a sleeping disorder, sleep apnoea can be treated with a mandibular advancement device and other conservative treatments. However, if the treatments are not successful, your dentist may perform surgery to reduce the symptoms.
