Oral surgery
Oral surgery can be done to treat many dental conditions that involve the removal of diseased or damaged tissues from the mouth. Oral surgery can also be performed to restore or reshape your teeth.
Some of the common oral surgical procedures performed by dentists are as follows.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: Wisdom teeth are the last set of permanent teeth that erupt in the oral cavity in most individuals after they turn 16 years old. Wisdom teeth often erupt partially or get stuck in the jawbone, which can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. Hence, dentists recommend their removal to avoid pain and infection.
- Bone Grafting:Bone grafting is performed to restore the jawbone after it has been damaged due to tooth extraction, periodontal disease, etc. At times, when a tooth has been extracted and there is a lack of jawbone volume, implants may not be possible to place. Hence, bone grafting is done to provide a healthy jawbone to facilitate dental implants.
