Oral surgery — the diagnosis and surgical therapy of the diseases and injuries of the mouth, jaw, and surrounding structures.
Wisdom teeth are removed because of the following:
Dental implants are titanium screw-like posts that bond with the jawbone to support and hold restorations such as crowns, bridges, dentures, facial prostheses.
Qualified candidates for dental implants need to have an adequate amount of healthy bone in the area, must not be at risk with infection and must be willing to maintain good oral hygiene habits.
There are some cases when the upper and lower jaws do not grow properly, which can cause problems with speaking, eating, swallowing, and breathing.
Severe jaw problems may need oral surgery to remove all or parts of the lower and/or upper jaw, to create more balanced, functional, and healthy jaws.
Oral surgery may be done to correct the irregularities of jaws before the fabrication of the dentures. This ensures a proper fit; it can also help long-term denture wearers.
The supporting bones often wear down over time, resulting in a denture that no longer fits properly.
Temporomandibular joint disorders occur when there are issues with the facial and jaw muscles. This is the result of clenching your jaws or grinding your teeth over long periods.
TMJ disorders can cause pain in the face, neck and back and dizziness.
On the day of surgery, fresh and soft food is recommended, such as applesauce, cottage cheese, or yogurt. Hot foods may disturb clot formation in the extraction sites.
The next day, it’s recommended to avoid crunchy foods such as popcorn and nuts since they break into little pieces and can get packed down in the extraction site.
If you had a dental implantation surgery, avoid chewing on hard foods for six weeks, or the healing of the implant will be compromised.
