Our office offers a wide range of dental surgical procedures that are performed by our general dentists' Dental surgery refers to a broad range of surgical procedures to diagnose, treat, or correct various dental and oral health conditions. Dental surgery may be necessary to address issues that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods or to prepare for other dental treatments. Before undergoing any dental surgery, it is essential to consult with a qualified and experienced dentist or oral surgeon to discuss the procedure, potential risks and complications, and post-operative care instructions. Dental surgery in our office can be performed with the use of nitrous oxide sedation, depending on the type and complexity of the procedure and the patient's preferences and medical history.
Here are some common types of dental surgery performed at Lacombe Park Dental: - 1. Tooth Extraction: Tooth extraction may be necessary due to severe tooth decay, advanced gum disease, impacted wisdom teeth, or to create space for orthodontic treatment.
- 2. Wisdom Teeth Removal (Third Molar Extraction): Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often become impacted (stuck in the jawbone or gums) and may cause pain, infection, or other dental problems. Surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth is a common dental surgical procedure that can often be performed in our office by general dentists rather than attending a more costly oral surgery clinic.
- 3. Dental Implant Surgery: Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. Dental implant surgery involves placing the implant into the jawbone and allowing it to fuse with the bone (osseointegration) before attaching a crown, bridge, or denture to replace the missing tooth or teeth.
- 4. Bone Grafting: This surgical procedure involves adding bone or bone-like material to the jawbone to create a more stable foundation for dental implants or to repair bone that has been damaged by gum disease or trauma.
- 5. Biopsy: A biopsy involves the surgical removal of a small piece of tissue from the oral cavity to diagnose oral lesions, suspicious growths, or oral cancer.
