A dental surgeon is a specialized dentist who focuses on advanced procedures requiring surgery. Whether it’s removing wisdom teeth, repairing damaged bone structure, or performing complex root canal alternatives, our skilled dental surgeons at Park Mall Dental Centre are equipped to handle a range of surgical dental needs. These procedures often require diagnostic tools like X-rays to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
Before any surgical procedure, our surgeons will carefully explain the process, ensure you fully understand what will happen, and help you feel at ease. We use local anesthesia to reduce pain and anxiety, allowing for a more comfortable experience. After surgery, our dental surgeons will provide clear post-operative instructions to help ensure you heal quickly and properly.
Wisdom teeth extraction is the removal of the third molars, which are the last set of teeth to develop in your mouth. Unfortunately, these teeth often come in unevenly or cause other complications. For many people, wisdom teeth don’t emerge properly and become impacted, meaning they can’t break through the gums. Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to pain, swelling, infection, tooth decay, and even damage to adjacent teeth.
During a wisdom teeth extraction, we begin by administering a local anesthetic to numb the area. Then, the dentist will carefully loosen and remove the wisdom tooth or teeth. In some cases, the gum tissue over the tooth will need to be opened, and any surrounding bone may be removed to make extraction easier. Stitches may be required after the procedure to close the gums, and gauze pads will be placed over the surgical site to stop any bleeding.
The recovery process following wisdom teeth removal typically takes a few days. Here’s what you can expect:
While wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure, recovery can vary depending on the complexity of the extraction. Follow our aftercare instructions closely to ensure optimal healing and minimize discomfort.
An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure performed when a standard root canal therapy does not fully resolve an infection or when the infection reoccurs. This procedure involves the removal of the tip of the tooth’s root along with any infected tissue surrounding it. If a root canal fails or a tooth becomes reinfected, an apicoectomy may be required to save the tooth.
During an apicoectomy, a small incision is made in the gum tissue, and the infected tissue and root tip are carefully removed. The procedure is followed by the placement of stitches to aid in the healing process. If you’re facing a potential root canal complication, our dental surgeons can discuss this option with you and determine if it’s the right treatment for your situation.
Dental surgeries such as wisdom teeth extractions require anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. Here are some essential tips to follow before your surgery:
