Oral Surgery
WHAT IS ORAL SURGERY?
Oral surgery is a branch of dentistry concerned with all surgical treatments involving the oral cavity, ranging from the simplest to the most complex procedures. Its primary objective is to resolve conditions affecting the teeth and surrounding tissues that often cannot be managed through conservative therapies.
Main Oral Surgery Procedures
Oral surgery encompasses a wide range of interventions involving the teeth as well as the soft and bony tissues of the oral cavity. Key services include:
- Simple and complex tooth extractions: Including the removal of damaged teeth or those that cannot be saved through alternative therapies, as well as impacted or complex wisdom teeth.
- Removal of pathological tissues, cysts, and neoplasms: Oral surgery allows for the excision of abnormal or diseased tissues that may develop within the jawbones or the oral mucosa.
- Surgical tooth exposure for orthodontic alignment: Certain teeth may fail to erupt properly; in these cases, a surgical exposure is performed to facilitate their alignment and recovery through orthodontic treatment.
- Frenulectomies: Procedures to remove or reshape the labial or lingual frenulum, which can otherwise interfere with proper chewing or speech.
- Salivary gland surgery: Interventions to treat conditions associated with the salivary glands, such as obstructions or infections.
- Soft-tissue laser surgery: A modern, minimally invasive technique used to treat various soft-tissue conditions.
- Piezosurgery: A minimally invasive bone surgery technique that utilizes ultrasonic waves to perform bone procedures precisely and gently, minimizing trauma to the surrounding tissues.
