Certainly! Here’s a revised version of your text: "Sometimes, the loss of a bone or tooth may require oral surgery, which can range from straightforward procedures to more complex interventions. Our experienced team of oral surgeons and periodontists specializes in these surgeries, ensuring successful outcomes for every patient." This revision maintains the original meaning while incorporating "oral surgery" as requested.

Surgical Needs

WHY SURGERY?

There are many reasons why you might need an oral surgery procedure. Your Dr. Smile dentist might recommend it if you have:

  • Extensively Decayed or Infected Teeth
  • Broken Teeth that Cannot be Restored
  • Loose Teeth or Bone Loss from Periodontal Disease
  • Dental Implants
  • Bone Defects in Your Jaw
  • Impacted Teeth or Wisdom Tooth Removal
  • Oral Cancer

Dental Implants

GOLD STANDARD OF CARE

Over the past three decades, dental implants have been established as the gold standard of care when losing one or multiple teeth. Dental implants are surgical fixtures placed in the jawbone, which then fuse with the bone over time. They provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth, such as implant-retained crowns, bridges, porcelain prosthetics or dentures.

Benefits of Oral Surgery for Implants

RESTORING FUNCTION

Why Should I Invest in Dental Implants:

  • Improved Function and Comfort: Dental implants function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat and speak comfortably without any slipping or shifting.
  • Long-term Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.
  • Prevents Bone Loss: Implants stimulate bone growth and prevent further deterioration of the jawbone.
  • Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth, giving you a confident smile.
  • No Damage to Surrounding Teeth: Unlike traditional bridges, dental implants do not require the adjacent teeth to be used for support, preserving their integrity.
  • Easy Maintenance: Implants can be cared for just like natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing.

FULL ARCH REPLACEMENT

If you have a failing dentition or are currently wearing dentures, a full-arch dental implant procedure, called an All-on-Four may be an ideal option to have more natural function. Also referred to as the "teeth-in-a-day" procedure, this method provides a permanent solution for missing teeth. After prosthetic fabrication, patients can often present for one surgery day and leave with a full set of teeth. This revolutionary treatment can greatly improve the quality of life and confidence in one's smile. We understand that dental procedures can be daunting, but our experienced and caring team is here to guide and support you every step of the way. We strive to make your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
