Conditions We Treat With Oral Surgery
- Dental Implants
If you lose a tooth for any reason, we may be able to place dental implants in your jawbone. Not everyone is a good candidate for this surgery. But, if you have healthy bone, you may qualify.
Dental Implants Do 3 Things:
- Preserve your healthy bone
- Protect the health of surrounding teeth
- Restore your beautiful smile
- Impacted Wisdom Teeth
Many people need their wisdom teeth removed at some point. These third molars often become impacted. This is because the back of the mouth has less space for teeth to grow in.
If your wisdom teeth do not properly come in, they will likely need to be extracted. If you experience pain, swelling, or notice that your wisdom teeth have come in crooked, call our office for an appointment.
- Poor Jaw Alignment
- Biopsy
- TMJ Disorder
The Temporomandibular Joint, or TMJ, is the joint in front of your ear where the lower jaw is hinged. It’s increasingly common for that area to experience pain and restricted movement. Some symptoms include a headache and persistent pain. In some cases, medication, therapy, and splints can help solve the issue. However, if you have serious TMJ disorder, you may need surgery to reconstruct the joint.
