An oral surgeon is usually needed when it is no longer possible to save a natural tooth, when a defective tooth needs to be removed, when a wisdom tooth or other tooth needs to be extracted, when unerupted or impacted teeth need to be removed, or when root extraction is necessary. An oral surgeon can also help deal with acute dental problems such as removing an abscess near the root of a tooth (a procedure called root resection). Another important area of oral surgery is dental implantation and preparation for dental implants (jaw regeneration/augmentation, sinus floor augmentation).
Oral surgery is used to correct the soft tissues in the mouth or remove inflammation. This may involve labial frenectomy, lingual frenectomy, gum grafting, surgical treatment of periodontitis, root resection, cyst removal, and other operations on the oral mucosa.
If you are dealing with any of these problems, you should consult an oral surgeon. It is precisely an oral surgeon who will best evaluate the anatomy of your jaw and teeth, diagnose the problem, choose the optimal treatment method, and then perform the procedure.
At Era Esthetic Dental, we offer the following oral surgery procedures:
Regardless of the procedure, we always make sure that the patient is completely comfortable, using anaesthesia as needed. After surgical intervention, the dental surgeon or maxillofacial surgeon may prescribe drugs to reduce pain and inflammation, and if there is swelling, they will recommend applying an ice pack or cold compress to the affected area, but for no longer than 20 minutes at a time, with 15-minute breaks.
After the procedure, please follow the recommendations given to you by the dental surgeon. First of all, rinse your mouth with antiseptic mouthwash and be careful not to hurt the area while brushing your teeth. We recommend that patients avoid physical exertion for a few days after a surgical procedure; they should also refrain from smoking for at least 48 hours and avoid hard or crunchy foods and hot food and drinks.
