Oral Surgery and Implantology: A Healthy and Complete Smile
Oral surgery is a specialty of dentistry that is responsible for diagnosing and treating a wide range of oral problems that require surgical intervention. Among the most common types of oral surgery are:
- Tooth extraction: Performed to remove teeth that cannot be saved by other methods, such as teeth with severe decay, impacted teeth, or teeth causing orthodontic problems.
- Wisdom tooth surgery: Performed to extract wisdom teeth when they are impacted or poorly positioned.
- Apicoectomy: Performed to remove the tip of a tooth root when it is infected or causing pain.
- Bone grafts: Performed to increase the amount of bone available in the jaw or maxilla to allow for dental implant placement.
- Frenectomy: Performed to remove or modify a labial or lingual frenum that is causing orthodontic or periodontal problems.
- Maxillary sinus lift: Performed to increase the height of the maxillary bone in the posterior area to allow for dental implant placement.
Implantology is a subspecialty of oral surgery dedicated to the placement of dental implants, which are titanium screws inserted into the maxillary or mandibular bone to replace missing teeth. Dental implants offer a reliable, durable, and aesthetic solution for tooth loss.
Types of dental implants:
- Single dental implants: Used to replace a single missing tooth.
- Dental bridge implants: Used to replace two or more consecutive missing teeth.
- Fixed denture implants: Used to replace all teeth in a dental arch.
- Removable denture implants: Used to replace all teeth in a dental arch, but the denture can be removed by the patient for cleaning.
Advantages of dental implants:
- Restore chewing function.
- Improve phonetics.
- Boost self-esteem.
- Prevent bone resorption.
- Offer a long-term solution.
