Oral surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at treating various dental conditions, from simple tooth extractions to complex surgical interventions. It is a specialised field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of oral and maxillofacial issues.
One of the most common reasons for oral surgery is the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often become impacted due to lack of space in the jaw, leading to pain, infection, and other complications. Oral surgery is performed to remove impacted wisdom teeth safely and effectively, alleviating discomfort and preventing further dental problems.
Oral surgery is also commonly used to treat conditions such as tooth loss, jaw misalignment, and facial trauma. Dental implants are a popular option for replacing missing teeth, providing a permanent and natural-looking solution that restores both function and aesthetics to the smile. Orthognathic surgery, or corrective jaw surgery, may be recommended to correct jaw misalignment and improve bite function and facial symmetry.
