What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery involves the diagnosis and surgical treatment of injuries, diseases, or other conditions of both the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws.
While our dentists will always use the least invasive treatment possible, some dental problems will require oral surgery to treat.
At Cityscape Square Dental, we perform a variety of oral surgeries including dental implants, tooth extractions, gum grafts, and frenectomies.
Gum Grafts
A gum graft is a procedure where gum tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth and transplanted onto another area of the gums. Gum grafts help to cover exposed tooth roots, repair receding gums, and reduce associated symptoms such as tooth sensitivity or tooth loss, to protect your oral health.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy procedure to eliminate a frenum, a small piece of tissue that connects your cheeks, tongue or lips to your gum area. Our dentists perform frenectomies for babies, children and adults when the frenum is restricting function, commonly referred to as tongue-tied, lip-tied or cheek-tied.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into your jawbone and functions like a natural tooth root. After the implant has healed your smile will be restored with a tooth replacement such as a crown or bridge. Implants look and feel much like a natural tooth.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
A bone graft is a procedure is done to increase bone density in your jaw to make it strong enough to support a dental implant. A sinus lift is a type of bone graft where your dentist adds bone material to the upper back jaw to raise and increase the amount of bone in the sinus area to place a dental implant.
Tooth Extractions
While it's always preferable to save a natural tooth, in some situations this is not possible and the tooth may need to be removed by your dentist. This could be because of decay, gum disease, or injury.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of a normal adult mouth. If the wisdom teeth are causing problems for your oral health, your dentist may recommend having them removed.
