“If I could give this place a million stars, I would! The office staff, dentist as well as the anesthesiologists were all so amazing, kind, and show compassion! My 4yr old had to have dental surgery and it was extensive! They were so accommodating and they had no issues following up with my concerns! The anesthesiologist answered any and all texts and calls that I had as well!. . .”

Types of Oral Surgeries

Root Canals

When a tooth is severely injured or decayed, a root canal may be needed. This procedure is commonly performed for deep cavities that reach the tooth’s nerve. During the treatment, the damaged nerve tissue is removed and replaced with a medicated material, followed by placing a crown or cap to ensure long-lasting protection and restoration.

Extractions

Tooth extraction, which involves removing a tooth, is always a last resort. However, in some cases, it is essential for your child’s overall health. After an extraction, we are here to help restore your child’s healthy, functional, and beautiful smile.

Common Reasons for Dental Extractions:

  • Severe infection
  • Extensive decay or damage
  • Severe crowding

Malocclusions

Malocclusions include conditions such as overbite, underbite, open bite, or crossbite caused by misaligned or crowded teeth. This occurs when the upper and lower teeth do not align properly when the jaw is closed, which may be due to genetics, injury, or environmental factors. Severe cases can affect the comfort and appearance of the lower face.

Most malocclusions can be treated with orthodontics, but in more severe instances, surgical intervention may be needed to reshape the jaw. This process may involve lengthening or shortening the jaw using stabilizing screws, plates, or wires. After surgery, aligners or braces may be used to maintain proper alignment.

If left untreated, malocclusions can result in:

  • Missing teeth
  • Tooth decay
  • Cracked, chipped, or worn teeth
  • Speech difficulties
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Sores on the inside of the cheeks
  • TMJ pain and headaches
  • Changes in facial appearance
