When you hear “oral surgery” you might think of a complicated procedure that requires a hospital visit and an overnight stay. In reality, most oral surgery procedures are performed in a dental office by making a standard appointment. Here is a look at some of the most common oral procedures performed by your oral surgeon in Coral Springs.
Tooth Extractions
The most common form of oral surgery is tooth extraction. Reasons for tooth extraction can range from teeth damaged beyond repair, to the extraction of wisdom teeth or even the removal of baby teeth that didn’t fall out on their own.
Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery, more commonly known as jaw surgery, can be required for a number of reasons. TMJ, lockjaw, major or minor trauma to the jaw, extreme clenching or grinding of the teeth, incorrect jaw position, or difficulty opening and closing of the mouth or talking are all symptoms that might require jaw surgery.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are becoming more and more common as a way to replace missing teeth or even to provide stability to an existing denture. While the procedure may vary, most people report that the recovery time is similar to a tooth extraction.
