▶ Tooth extractions – atraumatic tooth removal done by oral surgeon
▶ Dental implants - Nobel biocare – Titanium studs or posts that are surgically placed into the tooth socket and bone (maxilla or mandible) where your tooth or teeth used to be. After placement, the area is then allowed to heal for about 4 to 6 months. Afterwards, an artificial tooth is placed atop the implant (usually an abutment and crown). The crown is typically connected to the implant by a screw or cement to keep it affixed.
▶ Apicoectomy – This is used when the full root canal surgery isn’t enough to relieve pain. This root-end resection involves removal of the apex or the end of the root by entering through the gums and surgically extracting this diseased material.
▶ Alveotomy – Impacted wisdom tooth/ root removal: Impacted wisdom teeth can result in swelling, pain, and infection of the gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth. In addition, impacted wisdom teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth, gums, and bone and can sometimes lead to the formation of cysts or tumors that can destroy sections of the jaw. Therefore, dentists recommend people with impacted wisdom teeth have them surgically removed.
▶ Cystectomy – removal of the cyst in the jaw.
▶ Frenectomy – surgical removal of connective tissue placed between lip and gingiva
▶ Augmentation techniques – Using various osteconductive bone xenografts we recreate bone loss in the yaws ( after cystecomy or prior to dental implants procedure).
▶ Sinus floor elevation – augmentation technique used to elevate the floor sinus in order to maintain enough bone structure to place implants in upper jaw.
