What’s the difference between a general dentist and an oral surgeon?
Oral surgery is an intricate procedure and should be performed by qualified personnel. While mainstream dentists provide valuable services, an oral surgeon should be the ultimate choice for surgical procedures. Oral surgeons have extra education and training in dental surgery, which affords them optimal mastery of oral surgery.
Oral surgeons are dentists who have received, at least, an additional four years of surgical training in a hospital-based setting. In addition to surgery training, oral surgeons receive a thorough education in anesthetics, helping them administer anesthetics without posing risks to the patient during extensive procedures.
Achieving this milestone involves undergoing a rigorous peer evaluation process and having the ability to demonstrate the relevant training, knowledge, and experience.
General dentists provide vital dental services to ensure you maintain a healthy, beautiful smile. However, for surgical procedures like implantation, the experience and skills of oral surgeons can’t be matched.
What are the different types of oral surgery?
Experience the oral surgeon difference at our office with the following dental surgery procedures.
- Surgical extractions: Our office performs surgical extractions to remove impacted wisdom teeth or teeth broken at the gum line level. To do this, the doctor makes a small incision on the gum tissues and removes a bit of the alveolar bone to access the impacted tooth. Often, we break the tooth into several bits for easier removal. The final step is to clean and suture the wound to start the healing process.
- Dental implant: While several teeth replacements exist, dental implants are the best dentistry has to offer. A dental implant is a screw-like titanium post surgically inserted in the jawbone to replace your root structure. We offer precise, high-tech dental implant services to ensure your restorations last many years without problems.
- Bone grafting: Have you lost your jawbone volume to gum disease, tooth loss, denture wear, or dental trauma? We can replenish lost bone tissue with the bone grafting procedure. The procedure involves taking bone tissue from an animal, human donor, or your own body and surgically placing it in the area with bone loss.
- Corrective jaw surgery: With corrective jaw surgery or orthognathic surgery, we can reposition the upper and lower jaw to improve alignment, correct bite issues, and enhance aesthetics.
Our office features the latest dental technologies to ensure patients enjoy comfortable, precise, and effective results. We have invested in digital X-rays, intraoral scanners, a cone beam CT scanner, etc., improving diagnostics and clinical outcomes.
