Understanding Surgical Dentistry

Surgical dentistry involves the diagnosis, treatment, and management of oral health conditions that require surgical intervention. These procedures may be necessary to address issues such as impacted teeth, dental trauma, congenital abnormalities, oral pathology, and more. Our skilled oral surgeons are trained to perform a wide range of surgical procedures using advanced techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to ensure optimal treatment outcomes.

Surgical Dentistry Services Offered

At Dr. Shilpa’s Dental Clinic, we offer the following surgical dentistry services:

1. Tooth Extractions: Our oral surgeons perform surgical extractions of impacted teeth, including wisdom teeth, to alleviate pain, prevent complications, and preserve oral health.
2. Bone Grafting and Sinus Lift Procedures: Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures may be recommended to augment and strengthen the jawbone in preparation for dental implant placement or to repair bone defects resulting from trauma or disease.
3. Cyst Excision and Enucleation: Our oral surgeons are skilled in performing cyst excision and enucleation procedures to remove cysts and other abnormal growths in the oral cavity, promoting oral health and preventing recurrence.
4. Apicectomy Procedure: Apicectomy, also known as root end surgery, may be necessary to treat persistent infection or inflammation around the root tip of a tooth. Our oral surgeons perform apicectomy procedures to remove the infected tissue and seal the root tip to prevent reinfection.
5. Laser-Assisted Frenectomy: A frenectomy is a surgical procedure performed to release tight or restrictive frenulum attachments in the mouth. Our oral surgeons use laser technology to perform precise and minimally invasive frenectomy procedures, improving oral function and aesthetics.
6. Laser-Assisted Operculectomy: Operculectomy is a surgical procedure performed to remove excess gum tissue that partially covers an erupting tooth, particularly wisdom teeth. Our oral surgeons utilize laser technology to perform operculectomy procedures with precision and minimal discomfort.
7. Laser-Assisted Biopsies: Our oral surgeons perform laser-assisted biopsies to diagnose and treat oral pathology, including cysts, tumors, and other abnormal growths. Laser technology allows for precise tissue removal and minimizes post-operative discomfort and healing time.
8. Dental Implant Placement: Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Our oral surgeons specialize in implant placement surgery, including bone grafting procedures when necessary, to restore oral function and aesthetics for our patients.
