ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY
Your dentist may recommend oral surgery for severely decayed, diseased, or damaged teeth. Our office’s oral and maxillofacial surgeon, Dr. Shanin, performs bone grafting, sinus lift surgery, advanced procedures in implant surgery, and wisdom teeth removal. In addition to these procedures, we firmly believe in the importance of oral care as a preventive measure for oral cancers, and regular screenings for oral abnormalities that may need to be surgically removed for testing. When a diagnosis indicates that surgery may be required, our first priority is your safety. We render superior surgical care while making you feel comfortable, confident, and pain-free.
WISDOM TEETH EXTRACTIONS
Our oral surgeon, Dr. Shanin, has years of experience in full-scope oral and maxillofacial surgery, with wisdom teeth extractions being one of the most common procedures he conducts. Wisdom teeth may need to be removed due to impacted teeth, misalignment due to lack of space in the mouth, or to prevent future dental problems since wisdom teeth can be hard to reach. Wisdom teeth extractions are typically completed in about an hour.
DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are the best option for replacing a missing tooth, with numerous advantages over the competition. Crafted from a small, biocompatible titanium post resembling a screw, dental implants mimic the natural root structure of teeth. Our implantologist places the implant screw during a seamless in-office procedure. Over the course of 3-6 months, the implant integrates with the surrounding bone through a process called osseointegration, ensuring a stable and lasting foundation.ÂOnce the healing period is complete, your general dentist expertly caps the implant with a custom-made crown that blends seamlessly with your natural teeth. The result is a remarkably natural-looking and functioning tooth replacement that not only restores your ability to chew and speak confidently but also stimulates the jawbone to maintain its strength and density.Â
With dental implants, you can savor your favorite foods, smile without hesitation, and experience the utmost comfort and convenience — all with minimal upkeep. Invest in dental implants, and you invest in a lifetime of improved oral health, a revitalized smile, and a boost in self-assurance that positively impacts your overall well-being.
SINUS LIFT
Sinus lift surgery, also known as a sinus augmentation or sinus graft, is a procedure recommended by dentists for patients who do not have enough bone to secure a dental implant. During this surgery, the sinus floor is raised through an incision in the gum tissue. The space beneath it is then filled with bone graft material, which can regenerate lost bone and tissue. After the incision is closed, bone usually develops in 4-6 months. An implant can be placed once the bone has healed and developed. In some cases the implant can be placed the same day the sinus lift surgery is performed. Sinus lift surgery is very common and patients report experiencing minimal discomfort during the procedure and after surgery.
CONNECTIVE TISSUE GRAFT
A connective tissue graft, or gum graft, is performed to repair damage caused by receding gums. Gum disease is the most common reason for gums to recede. If left untreated, gum recession can lead to tooth loss due to exposure of the tooth’s root. During the procedure, healthy gum tissue is taken from another area of the mouth and attached to the exposed root to build the gum back.
