What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a variety of procedures designed to treat a range of dental and oral health issues. From tooth extractions to bone regeneration techniques, oral surgery can address various conditions to improve function, alleviate discomfort, and restore your smile. Some of the most common oral surgery procedures include:

Tooth extractions:

Removing damaged or impacted teeth to prevent further complications.

Bone grafting:

Adding new bone material to areas that have deteriorated, essential if dental implants are to be placed.

Dental implants:

Replacing missing teeth with artificial roots and crowns for a permanent solution.

Soft tissue grafting:

Addressing gum recession and improving the aesthetics of your smile.

Jaw surgery:

Correcting misalignments or abnormalities in the jaw structure.

Preparing For Oral Surgery

Preparation is key to a successful oral surgery experience. Here’s what you can expect:

Consultation:

Dr. Severchenko will evaluate your dental health, discuss your treatment options, and answer any questions. This is an opportunity to understand the procedure, potential risks, and expected outcomes.

Pre-surgery instructions:

You’ll receive specific instructions tailored to your procedure, including dietary guidelines, medication management, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments. For instance, you might be advised to fast for a certain period before surgery.

Anesthesia discussion:

We'll review your anesthesia options to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Options may include local anesthesia, sedation, or general anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the surgery and your personal comfort preferences.

Oral Surgery Recovery

Recovering from oral surgery involves several important steps to ensure optimal healing:

Post-op instructions:

Follow the detailed care instructions provided to minimize discomfort and prevent complications. This typically includes guidelines on managing swelling, maintaining oral hygiene, and recognizing signs of potential issues.

Dietary guidelines:

Stick to soft foods and avoid hot beverages to protect the surgical site. Foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, and smoothies are usually recommended.

Pain management:

Over-the-counter pain relievers or prescribed medications may be advised to manage discomfort effectively.

Follow-up visits:

Schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your healing process and address any concerns. These visits are crucial for ensuring that the surgical site is healing properly and to make any necessary adjustments to your recovery plan.

Guided Tissue Bone Regeneration

Guided tissue bone regeneration is a sophisticated procedure that encourages the growth of new bone in areas where it has deteriorated. This technique is crucial for patients who have experienced significant bone loss and want to restore their smile with implants. The bone regeneration will provide a stable foundation for the implant and promote long-term oral health. The process involves:

Cleaning and preparing the surgical site:

The first step of guided tissue bone regeneration is to thoroughly clean and prepare the surgical site. This will involve removing any damaged or infected tissue, as well as smoothing out the remaining bone to create a clean surface for new bone growth.

Placing membrane barrier:

A membrane barrier is then placed over the surgical site to protect it from any soft tissue growing in and interrupting the bone regeneration process. This membrane also helps to contain any graft material that may be used during the procedure.

Graft material placement:

Next, graft material such as synthetic bone or your own bone taken from another area of your body is placed onto the surgical site. This provides a scaffold for new bone growth to occur.

Securing graft material:

The graft material is secured in place using small screws or pins, and may also be held in place with the membrane barrier.

Closing the incision:

Finally, the incision is closed using sutures or staples to promote proper healing and protect the surgical site from any outside bacteria.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extractions may be necessary for various reasons, including severe decay, infection, or overcrowding. Dr. Severchenko performs extractions with the utmost care, ensuring minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery. The extraction process involves:

Assessment:

Evaluating the tooth and surrounding tissue to determine the best extraction method.

Anesthesia:

Administering appropriate anesthesia to ensure comfort during the procedure.

Extraction:

Carefully removing the tooth while preserving as much bone and surrounding tissue as possible.

Post-extraction care:

Providing detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and prevent complications.

Dental emergencies can happen at any time. At NewStar Dental, we provide prompt emergency care to address urgent issues such as severe discomfort, trauma, or sudden dental problems. Our goal is to alleviate your discomfort quickly and effectively. Emergency services include:

Immediate assessment:

Quick evaluation to determine the severity of the issue and appropriate treatment.
