Understanding Oral Surgery: Restoring Oral Health and Functionality

Oral surgery refers to a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing and treating complex dental and maxillofacial conditions. These procedures involve surgical intervention in and around the oral cavity, jawbone, and facial structures. Oral surgery can address a wide range of issues, including:

1. Tooth Extractions: Surgical removal of damaged, impacted, or overcrowded teeth to prevent further complications and maintain overall oral health.
2. Dental Implants: Placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth with permanent, natural-looking restorations that function and feel like real teeth.
3. Bone Grafting: Augmentation of the jawbone to provide a solid foundation for dental implant placement or to address bone loss resulting from trauma or periodontal disease.
4. TMJ Disorder Treatment: Surgical intervention to address temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders that cause jaw pain, clicking, or limited mobility.
5. Corrective Jaw Surgery: Surgical procedures to correct jaw irregularities, such as overbite, underbite, or crossbite, to improve jaw alignment and function.
