Patients that require more complex treatments that go beyond regular check-ups can have complete confidence that they will receive the very best care, as our specialists have extensive knowledge and experience in the field of oral surgery.
Although it can sound like a frightening term to some patients, oral surgery that is performed at a dental practice can be as simple as having an impacted or diseased tooth removed.
More detailed oral surgery can include placing dental implants for long-lasting tooth replacement and even correcting damage or trauma to the teeth, mouth and jaw. Our oral surgeons are highly skilled and expertly trained to carry out all areas of oral surgery safely and gently.
Our team understands that for some patients, just the thought of undergoing some form of oral surgery can be incredibly worrying. Therefore, we always take the time to discuss the procedure with you, including your pain relief and sedation options, and answer any questions you might have.
We take the concerns and worries of our patients incredibly seriously, and will always make your comfort and wellbeing a top priority. With modern advances in oral surgery and anaesthesia, many treatments can now be carried out quickly and easily, with no pain experienced by the patient at all, helping even the most nervous patients to feel less anxious and more relaxed, ultimately leaving the practice with greatly improved oral health.
Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure performed on the mouth, teeth, gums, or jaw. These procedures are often necessary to address issues that cannot be treated with non-surgical methods. At Chiswick Park Dental, we offer a range of oral surgery services to help restore the health, function, and appearance of your mouth and teeth.
Oral surgery may be required for a variety of reasons. Some common situations where oral surgery is needed include:
At Chiswick Park Dental, we offer a variety of oral surgery procedures designed to meet the unique needs of our patients. Some of the procedures we perform include:
Tooth extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the bone. This procedure is typically performed when a tooth is severely damaged, infected, or causing crowding in the mouth. In some cases, we may recommend an extraction as part of preparing for braces or other orthodontic treatments.
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are often removed when they become impacted or cause other dental issues, such as infection or crowding. Wisdom tooth extraction is a common oral surgery procedure that can prevent future oral health problems.
Dental implants are a permanent solution to replace missing teeth. The procedure involves surgically placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement root for a crown or bridge. Dental implants are an effective way to restore both function and aesthetics to your smile.
Bone grafting is a procedure used to build up bone in areas where there has been bone loss, often due to missing teeth or periodontal disease. This is typically done to prepare for dental implants or other restorative treatments.
Corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is performed to correct issues with the alignment of the upper and lower jaws. This type of surgery is often recommended for patients with conditions such as a misaligned bite or jaw deformities that affect speech, chewing, or appearance.
Gum surgery is performed to treat advanced gum disease or gum recession. Procedures may include pocket reduction, tissue grafting, or crown lengthening to restore healthy gum tissue and improve the function and appearance of the gums.
If there are suspicious lesions or growths in the mouth, we may perform an oral cancer biopsy to remove tissue for further examination. Early detection of oral cancer can significantly improve treatment outcomes.
Oral surgery encompasses various procedures that go beyond routine dental care, such as tooth extractions, placing dental implants, or repairing damage to the mouth, teeth, or jaw.
The practice offers a range of oral surgeries, including tooth extractions, dental implant placements, and treatments for trauma or injuries to the teeth and jaw.
Modern anesthesia and sedation techniques ensure that oral surgeries are generally pain-free. Your dentist will discuss pain management options before the procedure to ensure your comfort.
Recovery time varies depending on the complexity of the procedure. Minor extractions may have a short recovery, while more extensive surgeries may require several weeks.
Your dentist will provide instructions on how to prepare, including advice on fasting before the procedure if sedation is used, and post-surgery care to ensure a smooth recovery.
