Oral Surgery

There are a number of reasons for individuals to require oral surgery. Oral Surgery can help with impacted teeth, with one common type of impacted teeth being Wisdom Teeth. Wisdom Teeth can become impacted when they emerge later in life, once the molars have already developed. Wisdom Teeth more often than not do not have the proper spacing to rise naturally and they impact with the molars in the rear of the mouth. This can be very painful and dangerous and impacted teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth and gums.

Oral Surgery can also work hand-in-hand with dental implants of missing teeth. Dental implants are an option for tooth loss due to an accident or infection or as an alternative to dentures.

The implants are tooth root substitutes that are surgically anchored in place in the jawbone and act to stabilize the artificial teeth to which they are attached. Suitable candidates for dental implants need to have an adequate bone level and density, must not be prone to infection, and must be willing to maintain good oral hygiene practices.
