What is Minor Oral Surgery?
Minor oral surgery encompasses a variety of procedures designed to address issues within the mouth and jaw area. These procedures are typically less complex than major oral surgery and can often be performed using local anesthesia, with or without sedation, in a comfortable outpatient setting.
Our Range of Minor Oral Surgery Services
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Addressing discomfort and potential future complications associated with impacted or problematic wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are the third molars that erupt in late adolescence or early adulthood. Sometimes, there’s not enough space in the jaw for them to erupt properly, causing them to become impacted (stuck).
Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to various issues like pain, swelling, infection, and damage to nearby teeth. During a wisdom tooth extraction, the dentist will numb the area with local anesthesia and carefully remove the wisdom tooth.
Tooth Extractions
Removing damaged or infected teeth to restore oral health. Damaged or infected teeth can cause pain, discomfort, and spread infection to other parts of the mouth.
Tooth extraction involves removing the entire tooth, including the root, using local anesthesia. Depending on the complexity of the extraction, stitches may be placed to close the gum tissue.
Biopsies
Examining suspicious tissue samples for diagnosis. A biopsy involves removing a small sample of tissue from the mouth for microscopic examination. This helps diagnose oral diseases like cancer or precancerous lesions. The biopsy procedure is usually minimally invasive and performed with local anesthesia.
Abscess Drainage
Treating painful infections for immediate relief. An abscess is a pus-filled pocket that forms due to a bacterial infection. Abscesses in the mouth can be very painful. Abscess drainage involves lancing (opening) the abscess to allow pus to drain and administering antibiotics to eliminate the infection.
Cyst and Tumor Removal
Addressing benign growths in the mouth. Cysts and tumors are abnormal growths that can develop in the mouth. While most are benign (noncancerous), some require removal for diagnosis or to prevent future complications. The removal procedure will depend on the size, location, and type of cyst or tumor.
Frenectomy
Correcting a restrictive frenulum (tissue band) for improved function and mobility. A frenulum is a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gums.
An abnormally positioned or tight frenulum can restrict tongue movement or cause gaps between teeth. A frenectomy involves surgically trimming the frenulum to improve mobility and function.
Alveoloplasty/Alveolectomy
Reshaping the jawbone for optimal denture fit or implant placement. Alveoloplasty and alveolectomy are surgical procedures to reshape the jawbone after tooth extraction.
Alveoloplasty involves smoothing out the jawbone ridge, while alveolectomy involves removing a portion of the jawbone. These procedures can be necessary for a proper denture fit or to create a suitable foundation for dental implants.
Bone Grafting
Building up bone structure for future implant procedures. Dental implants require sufficient bone mass for support. If there’s bone loss due to tooth extraction or other reasons, bone grafting can help rebuild the bone structure to create a stable foundation for implants.
Jaw Fracture Repair
Stabilizing fractured jaws for proper healing. A jaw fracture can occur due to facial trauma or impact. Jaw fracture repair involves realigning the fractured bone fragments and stabilizing them with wires, plates, or screws to ensure proper healing.
Facial Laceration Repair
Minimizing scarring and restoring aesthetics after facial injuries. Facial lacerations require prompt medical attention to minimize scarring and ensure proper healing. The dentist will clean the wound, close it with sutures (stitches), and advise on aftercare to promote optimal healing and minimize scarring.
Splinting
Supporting jaw fractures or loose teeth for proper healing. Splinting is a technique used to stabilize fractured jawbones or loose teeth. Splints are typically made of acrylic or metal and help hold the jaw or teeth in place during healing.
Apisectomy
Removing infected root tips to preserve the tooth. An apicoectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the infected tip (apex) of a tooth root to save the tooth. This procedure is an alternative to tooth extraction when the root canal treatment fails to eliminate the infection.
Gum Grafting
Rebuilding receding gums for improved aesthetics and oral health. Gum recession is the gradual loss of gum tissue, which can expose the tooth root and increase the risk of tooth decay and bone loss.
Gum grafting is a procedure that replaces lost gum tissue with tissue taken from another area of the mouth or a donor source.
Operculectomy
Removing excess gum tissue covering an erupting tooth. An operculectomy is a minor surgical procedure to remove excess gum tissue that is covering an erupting tooth. This may be necessary if the erupting tooth is trapped and unable to emerge fully.
