Oral Surgery in
Plantation

One of the most common forms of oral surgery is tooth extraction. The need for tooth extraction varies and may include:

• Wisdom teeth that are impacted or partially erupted
• Primary teeth that haven’t fallen out and are preventing permanent teeth from erupting
• Teeth that are badly affected by tooth decay, trauma, or root fracture
• Orthodontic plans which require the need for certain teeth to be removed to achieve optimum results

Other types of oral surgery include:

Dental Implants

Dental implants are growing rapidly as a means of replacing missing teeth, and an oral surgeon will typically perform the surgery needed to place the titanium implant which will support the false tooth, into the jawbone.

Most of these procedures can be carried out using a local anesthetic or with the aid of inhalation sedation. This method is particularly successful if a patient is nervous or apprehensive about the procedure, on the proviso provided that there are no medical conditions which prevail.

Oral Surgery Doesn't Have to be Stressful

We are more than happy to discuss any concerns or particular needs with our patients. We understand that oral surgery can be viewed with anxiety even if it is necessary to improve oral health. However, we would like to reassure our patients that we have treated many patients who were exceptionally nervous before treatment, and we view this as one of our specialties.
