Oral Surgery in Apex, NC

Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the oral cavity and surrounding structures through surgical interventions. Oral surgeons undergo extensive training to ensure safe and effective outcomes for patients.

• Pain: Persistent or severe dental pain may indicate underlying issues such as impacted teeth, infection, or damage to the oral tissues, which may necessitate surgical treatment to alleviate discomfort and restore oral health.
• Infections: Oral infections, such as abscesses or periodontal disease, can cause significant pain and pose serious risks to overall health if left untreated. Oral surgery may be needed to drain abscesses, remove infected tissue, or address underlying infection causes.
• Nonrestorable Tooth: Teeth that are severely damaged or decayed beyond repair may need to be removed through oral surgery to prevent further complications and preserve oral health.
• Pathology: Oral pathology encompasses a range of diseases and abnormalities, including cysts, tumors, and lesions. Surgical intervention may be required to diagnose and treat these conditions, often involving biopsy or excision of abnormal tissue.
• Implant Placement: Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Oral surgery is typically necessary to place the implant fixture into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the prosthetic tooth or teeth.
• Part of Orthodontic Treatment Plan: In some cases, orthodontic treatment may require surgical assistance to correct severe malocclusions, jaw discrepancies, or other skeletal irregularities. Tooth extractions may be performed in conjunction with orthodontic treatment to achieve optimal outcomes.
