Oral Surgery
There are many reasons why oral surgery may be necessary. It can be required to treat sub-gingival cavities or fractured teeth, periodontal infection or abscesses, gingival recession, and much more.
In general, oral surgery is recommended when other dental treatments are not sufficient to resolve certain problems, and it is performed with the aim of improving the patient’s oral health.
Tooth extraction
Tooth extraction is a common procedure. This treatment may be necessary for several reasons, including severe tooth decay, a fractured or cracked tooth, infection, or in preparation for orthodontic treatment.
Wisdom tooth extraction
Wisdom tooth extraction is often recommended to prevent complications that may arise in the future, often related to lack of space or misalignment, including cavities, infection, gum disease, etc.
Gum graft
Gum grafting is a procedure that involves covering the roots of exposed teeth with a graft and reinforcing gingival tissues. This helps protect the teeth against root decay, prevents infections and bone loss, and reduces the risk of mobility. Gum grafting can also enhance the aesthetic appearance of the smile by harmonizing the gum contour.
Frenectomy
Frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove and/or modify the attachment of the frenulum (a band of connective tissue often located on the tongue or lip). This surgery is often done to correct a labial or lingual frenulum that is too short, which can restrict tongue or lip movements. The aim of this technique is to improve the functionality of the mouth and also helps prevent complications such as speech problems, gingival recession, or orthodontic issues.
