Maxillofacial Surgery

1. Flap Surgery

Flap surgery is used to treat gum disease (periodontitis). Flap surgery is a type of gum procedure. The gums are separated from the teeth and folded back temporarily. This allows a dentist to reach the root of the tooth and the bone. It may be recommended for people with moderate or advanced periodontitis. Usually, a treatment that doesn’t involve surgery is done first. This is called scaling and root planning. If this treatment does not eliminate the gum infection, gingival flap surgery may be used. It also may be done along with another procedure known as osseous (bone) surgery. Please consult us to know more.

2. Extraction

A dental extraction also referred to as tooth extraction or exodontia or informally tooth pulling is the removal of teeth from the dental alveolus (socket) in the alveolar bone. The decision to extract teeth for orthodontic reasons should only be made by an orthodontist, so that a correct decision is made. Please speak to our dentist before you make any such decision.

3. Implantology

A dental implant is an artificial root that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants may be an option for people who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury or for some other reason. An implant-supported denture is used when a person doesn’t have any teeth in the jaw but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants. An implant-supported denture has special attachments that snap onto the attachments on the implants. Dental implants are metal posts or frames that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums. implants feel more natural than conventional bridges or dentures. Complete dentures are prosthetic devices constructed to replace missing teeth; they are supported by the surrounding soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity. Complete tooth loss is replaced by complete denture.
