Oral Surgery

What Is Oral Surgery?

This term refers to all those surgical techniques used to treat diseases of the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Generally, oral surgery is done using locoregional anesthesia; this means that patients can be treated on an outpatient basis in most cases, even when the procedure is complex.

Who Needs Oral Surgery?

Maxillofacial surgery treats all those who suffer from diseases or malformations of the mouth, jaw, head, and neck that require surgical intervention. Some of the most common procedures offered at Brush Dental include:

Extractions

Extractions consist of removing the tooth from its cavity due to irreparable damage or infection.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Removal of a wisdom tooth becomes necessary when the tooth is impacted, meaning there is not enough space for it to erupt through the gum line. This procedure helps prevent serious complications, such as damage to neighboring teeth or misalignments. Impacted teeth tend to erupt at odd angles toward the adjacent teeth, shifting them away from their normal position.

Implants

A dental implant is a metal post that replaces the root portion of a missing tooth. It also provides a base for a dental crown, which replicates the appearance and function of natural teeth.
