In the specialty of dentistry, known as oral surgery, conditions affecting the face, jaw, or maxillofacial region are identified and treated. The procedures that dentists in Pompano Beach complete are diverse and elaborate. Tooth extractions, dental implants, and jaw surgery are now the three most popular surgical treatments. If you want to learn what these procedures are, here’s a quick breakdown to help you.
Even while regular dentists can remove teeth, some extractions might need surgery. Because of this, oral surgeons receive many referrals from general dentists, orthodontists, and doctors. Any teeth that can’t be easily accessible and are broken, non-functional, or poorly positioned must be surgically removed.
Oral surgery can reposition or eliminate bone and gingival tissue, exposing the tooth for extraction. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons frequently recommend patients with impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth for tooth extraction. Significantly harmed or crooked teeth could also need to be surgically removed.
The recommended treatment to repair missing teeth is increasingly being determined to be dental implants. As part of the implant procedure, oral surgery is required to insert the titanium rods that serve as substitute tooth roots into the jawbone. Some individuals also need bone transplants before receiving dental implants.
Dental and skeletal defects that interfere with chewing, speaking, and breathing are fixed by corrective jaw surgery. These treatments, also referred to as orthognathic surgery, may involve reconstructing and realigning one or both jaws to enhance facial appearance and function. Orthodontic work is frequently finished concurrently with these surgical procedures.
Additionally, facial trauma or genetic flaws can resolve biting issues and dysfunction with corrective jaw surgery. Orthognathic surgery can also successfully treat TMJ issues affecting the jaw’s muscles and temporomandibular joint.
