Oral Surgery Services at Stonegate Park Dentistry
At Stonegate Park Dentistry in Saint Joseph, MI, we understand that the need for oral surgery can be a source of anxiety for many patients. Our skilled team is dedicated to providing compassionate, expert care in all our oral surgery procedures. Whether you require a routine tooth extraction or the removal of wisdom teeth, our facility is equipped with the latest technology to ensure your comfort and safety. Below, we detail the oral surgery services available at our practice, emphasizing our commitment to excellence in patient care.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is a common oral surgery procedure designed to remove teeth that are severely damaged, decayed, or causing crowding. At Stonegate Park Dentistry, our experienced team performs tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring that the process is as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more complex surgical removal, we utilize advanced techniques and sedation options to enhance your comfort and promote rapid healing.
When is Tooth Extraction Necessary?
- Severe Tooth Decay: When a tooth is extensively decayed and cannot be restored with a filling or crown, extraction may be the best solution.
- Periodontal Disease: Advanced gum disease can cause loosening of the teeth, necessitating extraction.
- Tooth Damage: Teeth that are fractured below the gum line and cannot be repaired may need to be removed.
- Orthodontic Preparation: Sometimes, teeth need to be extracted to make space for others as part of orthodontic treatment.
Following extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and discuss replacement options such as dental implants or bridges, ensuring that you continue to enjoy both functionality and aesthetics.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically emerge during the late teens or early twenties. Often, they become impacted due to lack of space in the jaw or grow in at an angle, causing discomfort, infection, and potential damage to adjacent teeth. Our Saint Joseph dentistry practice is experienced in wisdom teeth removal, a common oral surgery procedure aimed at preventing or addressing these issues.
Benefits of Wisdom Teeth Removal at Stonegate Park Dentistry
- Prevention of Overcrowding: Removing wisdom teeth can prevent the shifting of surrounding teeth, maintaining the alignment and health of your smile.
- Decreased Risk of Infection: Impacted wisdom teeth are prone to infection and cysts, which can damage jawbone and nearby teeth. Removal mitigates these risks.
- Pain Relief: Wisdom teeth can cause significant pain and discomfort; their removal can provide relief and improve oral health.
We perform a comprehensive assessment using digital X-rays and 3D imaging to determine the precise location and condition of your wisdom teeth. This allows for strategic planning of the removal process, minimizing discomfort and promoting faster recovery. Dr. Gutierrez is equipped to handle both straightforward and complex cases, ensuring that you receive the best possible care.
