When Is Oral Surgery Needed?
Oral surgery may be necessary if you have impacted teeth (like wisdom teeth), severe tooth decay, advanced periodontal disease, or teeth that are damaged beyond repair. It can also be an essential step for orthodontic treatment, dental implant preparation, or the treatment of certain infections. A comprehensive examination, including imaging, will help us determine the best course of action for your specific needs.

Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is a common oral surgery to address one or more wisdom teeth that are impacted, misaligned, infected, or causing other dental problems like crowding.
Socket Preservation (Bone Graft)
A Socket Preservation Bone Graft is recommended immediately after tooth removal to preserve and maintain the natural architecture of the jawbone and gumline. This helps set the stage for future implant placement. Healing without socket preservation can lead to bony defects, which may compromise aesthetics and limit treatment options.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
In cases where most or all teeth are unsalvageable due to extreme decay or severe periodontal disease, a full mouth rehabilitation procedure may be performed to remove nonviable teeth. This provides a clean, healthy foundation for future treatments such as complete dentures or full mouth reconstruction, supporting the patient's overall health.
Alveoloplasty
Alveoloplasty is a surgical procedure to reshape and smooth the jawbone, typically performed after teeth have been removed. This step creates a better fit for dentures and prevents complications from irregular bone healing, minimizing the need for future adjustments.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Pre-prosthetic surgeries—including tori removal, tuberosity reduction, frenectomy, and vestibuloplasty—prepare the mouth for prosthetics like dentures, ensuring a more stable and comfortable fit.
Maxillary Tori Removal
Maxillary tori are bony growths on the roof of the mouth. Their removal can improve speech, enhance comfort, and ensure a better fit for dental appliances. Recovery is typically quick with minimal discomfort.
Mandibular Tori Removal
Mandibular tori are bony growths along the inner lower jaw. Removal of these growths enhances comfort and improves the fit of dentures, with a straightforward procedure and a short recovery time.
Maxillary Tuberosity Reduction
This procedure reduces the bony prominence at the back of the upper jaw, helping improve denture fit or prepare the area for dental implants. It’s a minimally invasive surgery with a relatively quick healing period.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy removes a small fold of tissue (frenum) connecting the lips, cheek, or tongue to the gums. This procedure can improve speech, close gaps between teeth, and enhance overall oral function. Healing is fast and typically very comfortable.
Vestibuloplasty
Vestibuloplasty deepens the space between the gums and cheeks to create more room for dentures. By surgically increasing the height of the upper and/or lower arches, this procedure significantly enhances denture stability and patient comfort.
