Oral surgery helps our team address concerns too severe for common treatments. If you have a tooth that could endanger your smile, we could use oral surgery to remove it. Likewise, if you have lost natural teeth, oral surgery could allow us to replace them. In today’s blog, your Riverside Dental Group team talks about wisdom tooth extraction and dental implant placement!
The Need for Oral Surgery
When do you need to see our team for oral surgery? We could recommend treatment when you have wisdom teeth soon to erupt, or other concerns that could only be addressed by removing a tooth, such as damage or infection too advanced for a restoration or root canal. We could also employ advanced treatment to handle missing teeth, providing new ones that not only look natural and fill the gap in your smile, but also preserve your jawbone and prevent the complications that usually follow tooth loss, so your smile can remain intact for years to come.
Our team will start the process with detailed digital x-rays and intraoral camera images of your smile. These allow us to examine the surfaces in detail, as well as to gain detailed views of your roots and interior tissues, including the jawbone. With this information, we can plan treatment with detailed impressions, so we avoid contact with blood vessels, nerve tissues, and sinus cavities. Our team will also offer local anesthetic and sedation to ensure the entire process is a comfortable and positive one, even if you have dental anxiety.
Removing Wisdom Teeth
With wisdom tooth removal, we will gently open the gums above these teeth so that we can access and remove them before they even erupt. This prevents you from developing painful impactions, as well as misalignment, infection, and other serious complications. We recommend this for teens about to graduate high school and start college, as the teeth tend to erupt in our late teens and early 20s.
Placing Dental Implants
For people with missing teeth, we could use dental implants to secure a new tooth or even support a bridge or a full set of dentures in only one visit. This can provide new teeth that look natural and stimulate jawbone growth to keep your facial structure intact for years to come!
