An Oral Surgeon Repairs Dental Implants

Problems with dental implants is something you really hope does not happen, but we see it far too often. In most of these cases the dental implants were installed by a general dentist which did not have specific and intense training for installing dental implants.

Usually when addressing this problem, oral surgeons work together with restorative and cosmetic dentists. The surgery may be performed to reconstruct a bone after an accident or facial damage to change the structure of the tissue so implants can be placed properly or to save teeth.  Some oral surgeons like Dr. Gregory can perform all aspects of your dental problem and can complete your entire treatment themselves.

An Oral Surgeon Removes Diseased Teeth

Some teeth that get infected or damaged need to be surgically removed to prevent further damage to surrounding tissue. Sometimes a tooth can be impacted or broken in such a way that removing the tooth requires a surgical procedure to remove. Wisdom teeth removal often falls into this category, requiring an oral surgeon to remove instead of a general dentist.

By doing this, jaw function is improved while improving the patient’s physical appearance at the same time.
