What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to specialized procedures that address complex dental and oral health issues, often involving the teeth, gums, and jawbone. These procedures are typically necessary when restorative or preventative treatments aren’t sufficient to resolve a problem. At Lakeshore Dental, our goal is to deliver conservative, minimally invasive solutions to ensure the best outcomes for your health and comfort.
When is Oral Surgery Necessary
Oral surgery is typically recommended when other treatments, such as fillings or crowns, cannot resolve an issue. Common reasons for oral surgery include:
- Severely damaged or decayed teeth.
- Preparing for dental implants.
- Addressing bone loss in the jaw.
- Resolving overcrowding in preparation for orthodontic treatments.
- Treating infections or abscesses.
- Removing impacted or problematic teeth.
If you’re unsure whether oral surgery is right for you, Dr. Alexa Crete will discuss all available treatment options during your consultation and create a plan that prioritizes your comfort and long-term oral health.
