What Is Oral Surgery?

understanding the basics of oral surgery

Dr. Morren offers several types of surgery to help improve the look and functionality of your smile. These include bone grafts, dental implants, sinus lift, and alveoloplasty. Each of these procedures is designed to strengthen the jaw, or prepare for dentures or implants.
‍
Missing teeth or periodontal disease can cause weakening or deterioration of the jaw bone. A dental bone graft is a procedure that replaces this bone loss using various types of transplanted bone. A sinus lift is a procedure that is done to increase bone amounts in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane, making room for dental implants. Alveoloplasty is a procedure that re-contours the jawbone ridge either to prepare for denture fitting, or to facilitate healing after tooth extraction.

The benefits of oral surgery

Each type of dental surgery introduces a more functional and attractive smile. A bone graft can help strengthen the entire facial structure. It also creates a more stable environment for the remaining teeth, preventing further tooth loss.
‍
A sinus lift is a procedure that is done to increase bone amounts in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane. A lift may be done for several reasons, but the most common is to prepare the mouth for placement of dental implants.
‍
Completing alveoloplasty as part of a tooth extraction can prevent the need for surgical interventions in the future. When performed for denture fitting, it facilitates an excellent surface for denture stability, comfort, and retention.
