At RI Oral Surgery & Implant Center, Dr. Ray English and his team are committed to providing expert care to patients in Cranston, RI, and surrounding areas. In this blog, we'll explore some of the most common oral surgeries, what they entail, and how they can benefit you.
Wisdom teeth extraction is one of the most frequently performed oral surgeries. These third molars often become problematic as they try to emerge in a mouth that doesn't have enough space to accommodate them. This can lead to pain, infection, and misalignment of other teeth. The procedure is typically straightforward, and recovery time is relatively quick.
Key points about wisdom teeth extraction include:
Understanding the process and following your surgeon's post-operative instructions can ensure a smooth recovery.
Dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth, providing both functional and aesthetic benefits. This surgery involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a root for the new tooth. Over time, the post fuses with the bone, creating a strong foundation for a crown.
Benefits of dental implants include:
At RI Oral Surgery & Implant Center, we use the latest technology to ensure the success and longevity of your dental implants.
Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild bone in areas where it is insufficient, often in preparation for dental implants. This surgery is essential for patients who have experienced bone loss due to periodontal disease, injury, or tooth loss.
By restoring bone structure, bone grafts provide a solid foundation for future dental work such as dental implants.
Corrective jaw surgery is often necessary for patients with severe bite problems or facial imbalances. This surgery can dramatically improve the function and appearance of the jaw, leading to better oral health and increased self-confidence.
