EXTRACTION AND ORAL SURGEY
5 reasons why extractions are necessary:
-
Extensive decay or a fracture that left the tooth in a non-restorable state
-
Severe gum disease that resulted in mobile teeth
-
Impacted teeth
-
To relieve overcrowding of teeth
-
Oral Pathology like cysts, tumours etc
Extraction
We always try our best to preserve teeth, however there are times where extractions are unavoidable. When such situations arise, we make sure that the process is as painless as possible.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting serves to increase the amount bone in the jaws. It replaces bone that has been lost through aging, gum disease, trauma and infection. A sinus lift procedure involves bone grafting within the maxillary sinus in order to give stability to a dental implant placed in a bone-deficient area with a large sinus. Bone graft materials can be taken from the patient’s own body, sterilized bone material or synthetic.
Oral Biopsy
An oral biopsy may be required to diagnose an abnormal lesion or growth in the mouth. The tissue sample obtained from the biopsy is sent to the laboratory for analysis
