Oral Surgery

Description

Oral surgery focuses on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding oral structures. These procedures may be recommended for impacted teeth, complex tooth extractions, jaw-related concerns, and other conditions requiring surgical care.

At SS Dental Care, Dr. Shalini Sharma provides personalised dental evaluations and discusses suitable treatment options based on each patient’s oral health needs. Whether you require a surgical tooth extraction or an assessment for another oral condition, the focus remains on patient comfort, appropriate treatment planning, and aftercare.

What Happens During Oral Surgery?

The process begins with a detailed consultation and oral examination. Depending on the condition, dental X-rays or other imaging may be recommended to assess the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.

Based on the findings, the dentist explains the diagnosis and discusses suitable treatment options, including the procedure, anaesthesia options, potential risks, and expected recovery. The surgical approach depends on the complexity of the condition and the patient’s overall oral health.

After the procedure, patients receive instructions regarding oral hygiene, diet, medication when prescribed, and follow-up visits to support healing and monitor recovery.

• Impacted wisdom teeth

• Severely damaged or decayed teeth requiring surgical extraction

• Broken teeth that cannot be removed through a simple extraction

• Selected jaw-related conditions

• Dental infections requiring surgical intervention

• Certain oral cysts and lesions

• Tooth-root complications

Oral Surgery Treatment Options

Surgical Tooth Extraction

Surgical extraction may be recommended when a tooth is impacted, broken below the gum line, or difficult to remove using a conventional extraction technique.

Wisdom Tooth Removal

Wisdom tooth removal may be advised when these teeth cause pain, repeated infections, damage to neighbouring teeth, or other clinically significant problems.

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implant placement may be considered to replace missing teeth. Suitability depends on factors such as jawbone health, gum condition, and the patient’s overall oral health.

Oral Cyst and Lesion Treatment

Certain cysts or lesions in the mouth and jaw may require surgical assessment, removal, or biopsy, depending on their characteristics and the clinical findings.

Maintaining Your Oral Health After Surgery

After oral surgery, following the dentist’s instructions is essential for supporting healing and reducing the risk of complications. Patients may be advised to eat soft foods, maintain gentle oral hygiene, avoid smoking, and refrain from strenuous physical activity for the recommended period.

It is also important to attend follow-up appointments and take prescribed medication as directed. Persistent bleeding, increasing swelling, fever, or worsening pain should be reported to the treating dentist promptly.

At SS Dental Care in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad, patients receive guidance on post-operative care and follow-up based on the procedure performed and their individual recovery needs.
