Oral Surgery

The word “surgery” often brings to mind a stay in the hospital, general anesthesia, and perhaps a lengthy recovery period. However, the experience of having oral surgery is usually very different from that. Oral surgery is often performed in our dental office, under local anesthesia, with minimal recovery time. Oral Surgery can range from routine procedures such as tooth extractions and implant placement to more complex jaw realignment surgeries and emergency care for facial trauma.

Before your oral surgery is performed, Dr. Shraiteh and her experienced staff will perform x-rays to help in diagnosis and customized treatment planning. A step-by-step explanation of the procedure along with your anesthesia options will be discussed by Dr. Shraiteh, and you should feel free to ask any questions you have. Your recovery experience will depend on what procedure you are having as well as your general state of health. It’s always important to let your healthcare providers know what medications you are taking (both prescription and over-the-counter), any chronic health conditions you have, and whether you smoke. This will help ensure your safety and comfort — always the paramount concerns.

Oral Surgery Procedures at House of Smiles

Oral surgery procedures may be performed to relieve pain, treat an infection or trauma, restore function or improve a person’s appearance. Procedures and conditions treated include:

Tooth Extractions

There are a variety of reasons why you may need a tooth or teeth removed, sometimes your tooth cannot be saved and need to be removed. Sometimes, teeth don’t fit in the mouth, such as wisdom teeth, as they may need to be removed as well.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

You may have a wisdom tooth that is impacted; a diseased tooth that can’t be saved; or overcrowded teeth that need to be removed so more room can be created to facilitate proper alignment during orthodontics.

Dental Implants

Today’s preferred method of tooth replacement is a titanium dental implant, which is placed beneath the gum line and into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure. The implant is then attached to a realistic-looking dental crown that is visible above the gum line and indistinguishable from a natural tooth.

Oral Diagnosis & Biopsies

When a suspicious oral lesion is found, a biopsy is often used to detect or rule out oral cancer — a disease that is treatable if caught early. A biopsy involves removing a very small tissue sample for laboratory analysis. Corrective Jaw Surgery. Sometimes a person’s jaws don’t fit together properly. This can affect both jaw function and appearance.

Snoring & Sleep Apnea

Excess tissue in the back of the throat may need to be removed in certain individuals with sleep apnea.

TMD

When conservative remedies fail to relieve chronic jaw pain over a long period of time, surgery may be considered.

Facial Trauma & Reconstructive Surgery

Facial injuries can affect not only a person’s ability to carry on basic life functions such as eating, but also his or her appearance. Knocked-out teeth can sometimes be re-implanted, or replaced with dental implants.
