Oral Surgery

Oral surgery is the broad term for operations performed on your teeth, gums, jaws, etc. Common oral surgeries performed at a dental office are bone grafting and wisdom tooth removal. Sometimes, if you have a weak tooth broken below the gum line, you might have to undergo surgery to extract it. The procedures are done under anesthesia, so the patient does not feel any pain or discomfort.

Oral surgery is suggested by the dentist when no other non-surgical dental procedures work. Your dentist in Kendall, FL, will try to save your natural teeth; but if it causes trouble to your neighboring teeth or overall oral health, extraction is the only way out. Oral surgeries have a longer healing period and a long-term impact on your overall oral health.
