When is oral surgery required?
Impacted wisdom teeth: Wisdom teeth that are partially erupted, misaligned, or trapped under the gumline often require surgical extraction to prevent pain, infection, or damage to surrounding teeth.
Severely damaged or decayed teeth: When a tooth is too damaged for a filling, crown, or root canal to save it, surgical extraction may be necessary to prevent infection and further complications.
Dental implant placement: Oral surgery is recommended to place dental implants, which replace missing teeth by surgically anchoring titanium posts into the jawbone, offering a stable and long-lasting solution for tooth replacement.
Bone grafting: In cases of bone loss due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury, bone grafting surgery is advised to rebuild the jawbone, especially in preparation for dental implants.
Jaw alignment issues (orthognathic surgery): For patients with misaligned jaws or bite problems that cannot be corrected with orthodontics alone, oral surgery is recommended to reposition the jaw, improving both function and appearance.
Sleep apnea treatment: In cases where non-surgical treatments like CPAP machines or oral appliances are ineffective, oral surgery may be recommended to remove excess tissue or reposition the jaw, helping to open the airway and reduce sleep apnea symptoms.
Facial trauma repair: Oral surgery is often necessary to repair fractures or injuries to the face and jaw following trauma, restoring both function and appearance.
Treatment for severe gum disease: In advanced stages of periodontal disease, surgical procedures such as flap surgery or bone grafting may be required to remove infected tissue, reduce pocket depth, and restore gum and bone health.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders: For patients with chronic jaw pain or limited jaw movement due to TMJ disorders, surgery may be recommended to repair or replace the affected joint, improving comfort and functionality.
Oral surgery is recommended when more conservative treatments cannot resolve a condition, ensuring that patients maintain proper oral function, prevent further complications, and restore their overall dental health. These procedures provide long-term solutions for a variety of dental and jaw issues, enhancing both health and quality of life.
