Oral surgery, is painful?<\/h2>\n

It does not have to be. Modern techniques of local anesthesia and sedation, allow all kinds of interventions inside the mouth without causing suffering to the patient.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475686656764{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Can I have surgery the same day of the visit?<\/h2>\n

The doctor has to make a previous visit to diagnose the state of their teeth and prevent possible allergies. If the molars are close to the dental nerve, you will require an x-ray prior to surgery.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”2759″ img_size=”1200×435″ alignment=”center” css=”.vc_custom_1477403105712{margin-top: 15px !important;margin-bottom: 15px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475686684837{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Maxillary Reconstructions<\/h2>\n

When patients lose important parts of the jaws of diverse etiology either by trauma, infection or pathology requires rebuilding them using various techniques and biological materials.<\/p>\n

The defects of maxilla apart from affecting the functions of the speech, swallowing and mastication also cause cosmetic disfigurement. Rehabilitation of the form and function in patients with maxillary defects is either by using an obturator prosthesis or by a surgical reconstruction.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1475686805307{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]<\/p>\n

Wisdom Teeth<\/h2>\n

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last teeth in the jaws to develop. Typically, they develop in your late teens or early twenties. Wisdom teeth either come through the gums, called erupting, or they are blocked, which is called impaction. Impaction can vary in severity, from gum tissue blockage to complete bone coverage.<\/p>\n

In most cases, we find that there is not enough room in the mouth for wisdom teeth to function properly and be easily cleaned, and extraction is recommended.<\/p>\n

When should extract?<\/h3>\n

When wisdom teeth are impacted, problems with the jaw and adjacent teeth can develop. An impacted wisdom tooth can cause gum tissue infections, decay on the second molar, and possible crowding of other teeth. Serious problems can develop with infections spreading to the throat and neck, or cysts or tumors that can destroy jawbone to the point of fracture.<\/p>\n

If these problems occur, your dentist should evaluate your jaw structure and wisdom teeth status with regular oral exams and x-rays. In many cases, routine x-rays are not enough for a full evaluation of the wisdom teeth, jaw and surrounding structures. A panoramic x-ray is typically done, which allows for a complete assessment of the jaw and teeth.<\/p>\n

What are the implications of a postoperative extraction?<\/h3>\n

Involves a slight swelling for 2 or 3 days depending on the degree of inclusion of the wisdom teeth, the surgical technique and the patient’s response to the interventions provided.
