Oral surgery can be used to treat dental diseases, injuries, or defects of the teeth, jaws, periodontal tissues, or other oral structures. Conservative non-surgical treatments are highly effective for treating many types of dental problems, but surgery can be necessary to deal with functional or health issues that cannot be treated through other measures. Our dentist in Huntington Beach can help you decide if oral surgery is right for you.
Common oral surgery procedures include:
• Dental extractions to remove impacted, diseased, or damaged teeth
• Dental implant placement
• Gum grafts, bone grafts, or guided tissue regeneration
• TMJ treatments
• Sleep apnea treatments
• Pathologic condition evaluations and treatments
• Facial trauma treatments
• Orthognathic surgery to correct jaw abnormalities
If you are a candidate for oral surgery, we will explain the procedure and any available alternatives so that you can make the decision that is best for your needs. Most procedures are performed under some form of local anesthesia, but complete dental sedation may be available to help you feel more relaxed during your surgery. After the procedure, we will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to help you recover more comfortably and reduce your risk of complications.
