The dentist could suggest oral Surgery for a number of reasons, and here we are recommending a few of them-

• Extensive tooth decay: Do you have severe tooth decay? Tooth decay can damage the tooth surface & enamel. Before it damages the surface of teeth, visit dentists for oral Surgery.

• Badly broken teeth: If you have broken, chipped, or fractured teeth, then see your dentist as soon as possible. Before it causes damage to your oral health, prefer oral Surgery.

• Gum disease: Gum disease is an infection of tissue that holds your teeth in place. It’s caused by poor brushing & flossing habits. If you have swollen, bleeding, and red gums, then ask dentists for oral Surgery.

• Impacted teeth: Impacted teeth may be caused due to overcrowding and leave no room for teeth to emerge. Impacted teeth may also become twisted, displaced, and titled, and they need to be recovered with oral Surgery.

• Missing teeth: Missing teeth is common among people and if you are badly involved with this dental condition, ask your doctor for oral Surgery.

• Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD): Do you have Temporomandibular joint disorders? If yes, visit the oral surgeon for oral Surgery.

• Bone loss in your jaw: In this condition, dentists always suggest oral Surgery for longer protection and safety measures.

• Oral cancer: If you are undergoing oral cancer, the dentist will suggest oral Surgery to get back to normal life.

• Benign oral pathology (noncancerous lumps or bumps): This condition is also associated with the dermatology condition that requires treatment as soon as possible.

Every year, our oral surgeon performs a different kind of oral Surgery, and here are some of them-

• Tooth extraction: Tooth extraction or tooth removal is the common oral Surgery. Our dentist might recommend removing a tooth if you have severe gum disease, tooth decay, wisdom tooth complications, and dental trauma. Sometimes, tooth extraction is recommended to prepare for dentures & other devices. We do our best to save your tooth, but sometimes, extractions are crucial to preserve your oral health. Many dentists suggest the removal of wisdom teeth to eliminate the risk of bone loss, cavities, and other problems.

• Dental bone graft: If you are suffering from severe jaw pain, a dental bone graft is necessary. When your natural teeth are in good condition, the dental roots stimulate the nerves in the jaw. It sends signals to your brain & sends nutrients to your jaw to keep it healthy and strong. However, if any of your teeth have been missing, then bone deterioration may occur since there are no roots that stimulate your nerves.

Through dental bone graft treatment, you can restore the density & volume of the jawbone so that dental implants can be placed. Sometimes, an oral surgeon might place the bone graft during periodontal Surgery. By taking this treatment, you can get a solid foundation to keep your teeth healthy and strong.

• Dental implants: This is the most popular, long-lasting, reliable teeth replacement option available. Dental implants are small threaded posts that are manufactured with medical grade zirconia or titanium, which are embedded into the jaw in place of missing teeth roots. Once you are healed, the implants can be restored with dental bridges, crowns, or dentures.

• Periodontal Surgery: Are you undergoing a moderate and severe level of periodontitis? If, yes, our gum specialists may recommend gum disease treatment. In periodontal Surgery, incisions are prepared along the individual’s gum line & the tissue is temporarily shifted back away from the teeth.

The oral surgeon will clean your teeth roots to clear all the bacteria and plaque that you have accumulated under your gums. At last, the gum tissue is repositioned. In case the gum recession occurs after periodontitis, you may need a gum graft where our surgeons reinforce the part of tissue loss with donor tissue.

• Corrective jaw surgery: This Surgery, also known as orthognathic Surgery, addresses skeletal jaw bone abnormalities. The procedure may require enhancing the chewing function, improving the misalignment, and addressing the facial imbalance. We also recommend this Surgery to patients undergoing TMJ dysfunction.

• Palate & cleft lip repair: Suppose a baby born with a cleft lip has an opening in their upper lip, while a baby born with a cleft palate has an opening in the roof of their mouth. Palate & cleft lip occurs when the facial structure doesn’t fully develop in the uterus. Our oral surgeons perform palate repair and Cleft lip to restore normal eating function & help the child develop their speech patterns.

• Maxillofacial surgery: A highly trained oral surgeon performs Maxillofacial Surgery. It is recommended to treat various oral diseases, fixing injuries and correcting facial defects. This procedure is carried out to get relief from pain and restore deformities. Dentists suggest this surgery to relieve pain and improve jaw bone function. The surgery is addressed to diagnose chronic dental pain, place dental implants, extract the impacted teeth, treat oral disease and place dental implants. After maxillofacial surgery, apply ice packs to minimize the inflammation, and avoid crunchy and hard food, smoking and alcohol. Take a doctor’s consultation before and after the surgery.

Oral Surgery is performed by our expert oral surgeons, who have years of experience in this field. We have gum specialists and oral health specialists in our team who perform Surgery on the bones and gums that support teeth. The experts performing this procedure should have 3 to 4 years of training after graduating from dental school.
