Oral Surgery at Arverne Dental

Simple Extractions: Under local anesthesia, the teeth visible and easily accessible are removed.

Surgical Extractions: Removing teeth that are broken or impacted below the gumline, or those that are below the gumline, requires a more complicated surgical procedure.

Third molars or wisdom teeth can become impacted, misaligned, or cause pain, infection, or crowding. Dr. Taft can assess your wisdom teeth to determine their position and will remove them, if necessary, to avoid further complications.

Dental implants provide a permanent solution to missing teeth. They can be used as a foundation for dentures, crowns, or bridges. A titanium post is placed into the jawbone. This post will fuse with the bone, providing a solid anchor for the final dental restoration.

When there is insufficient bone to support a dental implant, bone grafting may be required. This procedure involves the placement of bone graft materials into the jaw to stimulate new bone growth and improve bone density.

A sinus lift is an example of a bone grafting technique used to raise the bone height near the premolars and molars in the upper jaw. It is especially important for patients who need dental implants in their upper jaw but do not have enough bone support.

A successful root canal treatment is usually followed by an apicoectomy, which involves removing the infected tissues and root tip.

The procedure corrects jaw misalignments, which can lead to difficulty chewing, breathing, and speaking. You can also perform it to improve your facial appearance.

Dr. Taft will perform a biopsy if abnormal lesions or growths are found in the mouth. The sample can then be sent to pathology for analysis, this will determine whether further treatment is required.

Bone grafting, sinus lifts, and other procedures provide the needed bone support to dental implants. This ensures the long-lasting stability of crowns, bridges, and dentures. Implants are stable bases for different restorations, they function just like natural teeth.

Corrective jaw surgery addresses structural issues that contribute to obstructive apnea. This improves sleep quality and reduces health risks. By correcting nasal obstructions, procedures like septoplasty improve breathing.

Each patient is provided with a customized treatment plan based on their individual needs and goals. Arverne Dental's Dr. Lyuba Taft, along with the rest of her team, will customize each procedure to achieve optimal results.

Your confidence and everyday life can be significantly improved by reducing pain, improving your function, and enhancing your grin.

Chronic dental pain caused by impacted teeth, infections, or jaw problems is debilitating. Oral surgery such as extractions and apicoectomy can reduce pain and improve your quality of life.

Placing dental implants or corrective jaw surgery can restore normal biting, speaking, and chewing functions. The removal of wisdom teeth prevents misalignment and overcrowding so that your teeth can function properly.

You can avoid developing more serious health conditions or infections by removing cysts or tumors or extracting impacted teeth. Early treatment of oral lesions can reduce the risk of oral carcinoma progression.

Corrective jaw surgery improves facial symmetry, aesthetics, and self-confidence. Dental implants and bone regeneration can restore the natural look of your smile.
