Oral surgery offered in our London dental office, refers to any medical procedure that is performed on your teeth, gums, jaw, or the nearby oral and facial structures. It encompasses a variety of procedures like teeth extractions, dental bone grafts, periodontal (gum) grafts, and corrective jaw surgery.
Tooth Extractions
While it’s always preferable to save a natural tooth, there are some cases where it’s not possible. If a tooth is too badly damaged as a result of decay, gum disease, or injury, it may need to be removed by your dentist.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of a normal adult’s mouth. If wisdom teeth are causing problems for your oral hygiene, your dentist may recommend removing them to help preserve your oral health.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium screw that functions just like a natural tooth root. Dentist places implants into your jaw bone as part of procedures to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Dental implants, alongside, tooth replacements like bridges and crowns, can look and feel very similar to a natural tooth.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is an oral surgery undertaken by your dentist to eliminate the frenulum. This is the small piece of tissue that connects your tongue, cheeks, and lips to your gums. Dentists perform frenectomies on adults, children, and babies when their frenum is restricting their normal function. This condition is often called tongue-ties, cheek-tied or lip-tied.
