What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures performed on the teeth, gums, jaws, and surrounding structures. These procedures are typically necessary when non-surgical treatments are not sufficient or when complex issues arise that require specialized intervention.

Our Oral Surgery Services

At Dandenong Smile Health, we offer a comprehensive range of oral surgery services, including:

1. Tooth Extractions

Simple and Surgical Extractions:
Tooth extractions may be necessary due to severe decay, infection, or damage. Our team performs both simple extractions (for teeth that are fully erupted and easily accessible) and surgical extractions (for impacted or difficult-to-remove teeth).

  • Wisdom Tooth Extraction:
    Wisdom teeth often need to be removed if they are impacted, causing pain, infection, or misalignment of other teeth. We carefully assess the position of your wisdom teeth and perform extractions to prevent or address any complications.

Comfort and Care:
We use advanced techniques and anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the extraction process and provide post-operative care instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery.

2. Dental Implants

Advanced Tooth Replacement:
Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. The procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to serve as a foundation for a prosthetic tooth or crown.

  • Implant Placement:
    Our team carefully plans and performs the surgical placement of the implant post, ensuring precise positioning for optimal function and aesthetics.

  • Bone Grafting:
    In cases where there is insufficient bone density to support an implant, we may recommend bone grafting to enhance the jawbone’s structure before implant placement.

Restorative Solutions:
We provide comprehensive care, including the placement of dental crowns or bridges on top of the implants, to complete your restoration and achieve a natural-looking, functional smile.

3. Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)

Enhancing Function and Aesthetics:
Corrective jaw surgery is performed to correct misalignments of the jaws that may impact your bite, speech, or facial appearance. This type of surgery can improve both function and aesthetics.

  • Pre-Surgical Evaluation:
    We conduct a thorough evaluation, including imaging and 3D modeling, to plan the surgical procedure and ensure precise correction of jaw discrepancies.

  • Post-Surgical Care:
    Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care and monitoring to ensure proper healing and alignment of the jaws.

4. Treatment of Oral Pathologies

Diagnosing and Managing Oral Conditions:
We diagnose and treat a variety of oral pathologies, including cysts, tumors, and lesions of the mouth, jaw, and surrounding tissues.

  • Biopsy and Excision:
    For suspicious growths or lesions, we may perform biopsies or excisions to obtain samples for further analysis and to remove any problematic tissue.

  • Follow-Up Care:
    We provide ongoing follow-up care and support to monitor healing and manage any post-surgical concerns.
