Grafting
When you think of oral surgery, grafting probably is not the first thing that comes to mind. It is, however, a very important procedure that can drastically improve the health of your mouth. Grafting, whether for your bones or gums, consists of moving healthy tissue from various places in your body to the site in need of correction and helps restore the damaged, affected area. When you need a jawbone graft, it is because the bone is deteriorating, which can lead to serious medical issues, including teeth falling out or your face sinking. This procedure ensures your jaw becomes strong and healthy once again. Gum grafting works similarly and allows this part of your mouth to become healthy.
Extraction
Tooth extraction is a very common surgical procedure, and is done when keeping a tooth would compromise the overall health of your mouth. Wisdom teeth, for example, will often overcrowd other teeth, which is why they frequently need to be removed. In other cases, advanced tooth decay may be very severe and it ends up easier to remove the affected tooth than to try to restore it. In any case of extraction, we will help you find the perfect replacement prosthetic to meet your exact needs.
