 Oral surgery has vastly improved over the last few decades. Thanks to groundbreaking techniques and cutting-edge technology, our surgical options are safer, faster, and more effective than ever before. If you need oral surgery, you’ve come to the right place! Union Mill Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center specializes in a variety of surgical procedures that will improve your oral health and the appearance of your smile.
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, erupt much later than our other permanent teeth. They usually come in between the ages of 17 and 25. Because they are the last to come in, they can create problems for your existing teeth. We may recommend wisdom teeth removal to prevent or correct these issues.
Our wisdom teeth are not the only ones that can create problems. Some teeth can become impacted or infected due to eruption issues. Dr. Jaffery may recommend a tooth extraction to help alleviate painful symptoms after other treatments have been exhausted.
If your dentist has used the term "impacted" in regards to your canines, you might not be sure what exactly that means. An impacted tooth is one that is "stuck" and unable to erupt through the gums in order to function as intended. This often happens with the third molars, otherwise known as the wisdom teeth. These teeth tend to get stuck in the back portion of the jaw, and if left untreated, they can develop a painful infection as well as a host of other problems. Since most of us don't need the wisdom teeth, they are often extracted if they start to develop a problem.
If you experience dental trauma be sure to schedule an emergency appointment as soon as possible. Injury or trauma to the face can result serious problems for your oral health. If one of your teeth becomes loose or knocked out, you may need oral surgery.
Pre-prosthetic surgery involves prepping your mouth before a prosthesis (partial or complete dentures) is put into place. When you wear dentures, they will sit on top of the bony ridge in your mouth, to ensure that they fit well and feel comfortable, it is essential that the tissue and bony area are the right size and shape. Unfortunately, when a tooth is lost or extracted, the area beneath it could be left jagged or uneven, and your oral surgeon may need to level or reshape the area, and in severe cases, portions of the bone might need to be removed.
Oral pathology refers to the diagnosis and study of problems that affect your oral and maxillofacial region. The goal of oral pathology is to cure oral diseases with causes that are not initially apparent. Once we determine the exact causes of a problem, we can develop a more precise treatment plan.
At Union Mill Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center, we work closely as a team with pathologists to accurately analyze and diagnose patients through biopsies.
Unfortunately, we understand that some people experience fear or anxiety when they think about a trip to the dentist. In some cases, these phobias can even prevent a person from receiving the dental care they need to maintain proper oral health. At Union Mill Oral Surgery and Dental Implant Center, we offer sedation dentistry to create a more comfortable and enjoyable experience for our patients.
