Reasons for an Oral Surgeon We Treat Many Common Conditions
Infected or Badly Damaged Teeth
When an infection is too advanced to be treated with root canal therapy, a tooth extraction might be necessary. We can also remove teeth in preparation for orthodontic treatment or teeth that are damaged below the gumline and cannot support a dental crown.
Wisdom Teeth
Some wisdom teeth erupt without any issues, but others can become impacted and cause painful symptoms such as swelling and infection. Our team can perform all types of wisdom tooth extractions, from simple to complex.
Knocked-Out Tooth
Accidents happen. If you lose a permanent tooth, we may be able to save it by performing a tooth transplant. To preserve your tooth on your way to our office, make sure to keep it moist and avoid touching the root.
Malocclusion
If you suffer from malocclusion, you might benefit from surgically facilitated orthodontic therapy. During this procedure, our surgical team will use a bone graft to widen the jaw instead of extracting teeth. We can also provide temporary anchorage devices for orthodontic patients.
Bone Loss
When you suffer from tooth loss, facial trauma, or advanced periodontal disease, your jawbone can begin to shrink and affect your facial structure. We can perform a bone graft or sinus lift to restore your candidacy for dental implants and protect your facial structure.
Impacted Canines
Our surgical team sees many pediatric patients with impacted canine teeth. To help the canine move into its proper place, we can create a small incision in the gum tissue to surgically expose the tooth. We will then bond a bracket in place to move the tooth into the desired position.
Uneven Gumline or Gummy Smile
Excessive gum tissue can make your teeth appear smaller than they actually are. To achieve a beautiful smile, your gums and teeth should be balanced. Our surgeons can perform gum contouring to help your smile look more symmetrical and make your teeth look more prominent.
Oral Surgery From Start to Finish
Oral surgery is performed on an outpatient basis, so you will typically go home on the same day of treatment. Every surgery will be different depending on your treatment plan, but in general, you can expect several stages:
“Outstanding introductory apptmt at this dental clinic. Fast, efficient and thorough consultation. All aspects of forthcoming treatment explained in full. An overall atmosphere of quiet competence and efficiency.” — Rod, 5-Star Review
Your Results Can Improve the Look and Feel of
Your Smile
Your individual results will depend on the reason you underwent oral surgery and the treatment you received. With customized procedures, our doctors in Tampa, Land O’ Lakes, Wesley Chapel, and Valrico have helped many patients achieve:
- Relief from pain and discomfort caused by infected, badly damaged, or impacted teeth
- Complete smiles after suffering from missing teeth for years
- Realigned bites following surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment
- Restored jawbone following a bone graft or sinus lift
- Replanted tooth following an avulsion
- Improved comfort if you suffered from a jaw disorder
While our main goal is to help your smile feel more comfortable and healthy, many treatments can also dramatically improve your appearance.
Encourage a Healthy Recovery
Follow Our Post-Op Guidelines
The length of your recovery will depend on which surgery you undergo and your body's natural healing response. To avoid reopening your surgical site and reduce your risk of infection, you should follow our post-operative care instructions. These instructions involve avoiding several activities during the first 24 hours, such as:
- Smoking
- Drinking through a straw
- Consuming alcohol or hot liquids
- Blowing your nose
- Spitting excessively
As part of your post-op instructions, you should also maintain a soft foods diet and take your medications as prescribed. Our Tampa oral surgeons provide private numbers to our patients to be reached at any time after surgery. They are available for any concerns about infection, excessive bleeding, or chronic discomfort.
