When your teeth, gums, or jaw suffers from severe dental problems, many professionals turn to oral surgery to fix your smile. Be it to extract a troublesome wisdom tooth or remove infected tissue, our trained dentists will ensure you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Once the surgery is over, pain and infection will no longer be an issue!
When Is Oral Surgery Necessary?
We have to perform surgery when oral tissue is severely damaged and the vulnerable parts of your mouth are at risk. Surgery can also fix nerves and facial features to make your life easier and enhance your breathing, sleep, and oral health. The word "surgery" sounds ominous, but oral procedures are painless and common. Each surgery differs depending on the issue, so feel free to ask your dentist to explain the procedure thoroughly.
Some problems that call for oral surgery include:
- Sleep apnea
- TMJ disorder
- A missing tooth that needs replacement
- An impacted wisdom tooth
