Tooth extractions are one of the most common types of oral surgery procedures. Generally a simple procedure, tooth extraction can be completed right in the dentist’s office. During this procedure, your dentist gently pulls your tooth, being careful not to disturb healthy bone or gum tissue. Another form of tooth extraction, wisdom tooth removal, is often more complex and can take up to a few hours to complete.
Bone grafting is used to restore or augment bone tissue in the jaw. It is often necessary when bone volume is insufficient to support dental implants or other restorative treatments. During the procedure, bone graft material is placed in the affected area, stimulating new bone growth and providing a stable foundation for dental implants. With advancements in techniques and materials, bone grafting has become a routine and highly successful procedure, enabling patients to achieve optimal oral health and functional outcomes.
A sinus lift is an oral surgery procedure that lifts the maxillary sinus to make more room for new bone. The maxillary sinuses are air-filled spaces directly above the maxilla’s posterior section or upper jaw. Elevating the sinus and inserting bone material in between creates additional bone volume for successful dental implant placement.
Dental implant surgery replaces missing or damaged teeth with artificial ones that function and look like natural teeth. During this surgery, metal posts are inserted into the jawbone, where crowns will attach to them. Those who have lost one or more permanent teeth due to decay, disease, or injury may be ideal candidates for dental implant surgery.
