Dental Implants
Millions of people have at least one dental implant. Patients and oral surgeons alike love them for their versatility, security, and durability. Dental implants can replace one tooth as a single restoration, or they can replace an entire arch of teeth with full-arch restoration. The oral surgeons at Whitewater Oral Surgery Group | Dental Implant Experts specialize in dental implant-based restorations and can help patients find the right treatment option for them.
Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that prevents jaw bone loss. When a tooth is missing, the jaw bone does not receive the stimulation it needs and breaks down over time. Dental implants provide necessary stimulation to the jaw, similar to a natural tooth root. Because of this, your jaw bone remains healthy and your dental implant serves as a strong, durable new tooth.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
For many people, having their wisdom teeth extracted is their first interaction with an oral surgeon who specializes in wisdom teeth removal. The doctors at Whitewater Oral Surgery Group | Dental Implant Experts have undergone extensive education and training beyond dental school to perform oral surgery procedures like wisdom teeth removal. They are also trained to administer anesthesia safely.
Wisdom teeth pose a threat to your other teeth because there is simply not enough room for an extra set of molars. They can damage nearby roots and facial nerves, plus knock other teeth out of position. They are not necessary for proper oral function because you already have molars to chew and grind food. Therefore, dentists and oral surgeons recommend having third molars extracted to prevent any complications.
Why Choose an Oral Surgeon?
When patients require more advanced care, complex surgery, diagnosing, or sedation, dentists refer them to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Oral surgeons focus on the bones and soft tissues of the head, neck, mouth, and face. They are qualified to administer all forms of anesthesia for surgical procedures while monitoring patients’ safety. A general dentist obtains a dental degree and begins practicing. Oral surgeons, however, obtain their degree and complete a residency program, which is an additional 4-6 years of surgical training. During this time, they provide care for patients with a range of oral health needs in a surgical setting. Oral surgeons perform wisdom tooth extractions and many complex procedures, including orthognathic surgery, facial trauma treatment, bone grafting, and more.
