Oral Surgeon in Airdrie<\/h2><\/div>

Oral surgery is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of complex dental and facial problems. This involves a wide range of procedures, such as the extraction of teeth, facial reconstruction after trauma, removal of lesions for pathologic examination, or the treatment of congenital defects, such as a cleft lip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oral surgical procedures play a crucial role in the patient\u2019s quality of life. It removes symptoms associated with any disease, enhances the appearance, restores the ability to eat and speak properly, and improves oral health and overall well-being in the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Sierra Dental in Airdrie, we have equipped our practice with advanced technology and invested in experienced dentists and surgeons to provide quality and comprehensive oral surgery services to our patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>

Oral Surgery Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Oral surgery includes a broad list of procedures that can help address many patient\u2019s dental and facial concerns. These are:<\/p>\n

Maxillofacial Surgery<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Maxillofacial surgery is a specialized field focused on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the face, jaws, mouth, and neck.<\/p>\n

This can include correcting jaw misalignments, treating facial trauma, addressing TMJ disorders, or performing reconstructive surgery. Maxillofacial surgery aims to restore function, appearance, and overall quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Tooth Extractions<\/h4>\n

Some tooth extractions may be considered complicated if there are certain anatomical variations to the tooth, such as curved or hooked roots or bulbous root ends. To successfully remove these teeth, some bone may be removed, or the tooth may be sectioned into smaller pieces.<\/p>\n

Wisdom Tooth Removal<\/h4>\n

One of the most common oral surgery procedures is the removal of the third molars or wisdom teeth. This usually occurs because the wisdom teeth are often impacted, where part of the tooth or the entirety of it remains embedded in bone. Wisdom teeth impaction should be addressed to prevent severe pain, damage to adjacent teeth, infection, and difficulty in eating.<\/p>\n

Removal of Impacted Teeth<\/h3>\n

Aside from the wisdom teeth, the canines and premolars are also often impacted. This may happen when there is not enough space in the mouth for these teeth to come out. Impacted teeth should be removed to prevent possible bite issues and to preserve a healthy smile.<\/p>\n

Dental Implants<\/h4>\n

If you have missing teeth, dental implants are the permanent smile solution you are looking for. Dental implant posts are surgically embedded in the jawbone and positioned strategically where missing teeth are. Once they have fused in the bone, they can hold and support the future artificial teeth and effectively restore your smile.<\/p>\n

Corrective Jaw Surgery (Orthognathic Surgery)<\/h4>\n

If you have complex bite problems, such as an overbite or facial asymmetry, your surgeon may recommend orthognathic surgery. This procedure realigns the jaws to correct the bite, enhances the smile and facial aesthetics, and improves the functions of the teeth for biting and chewing.<\/p>\n

Treatment of Facial Trauma<\/h4>\n

Patients who have suffered facial injuries due to trauma may undergo oral surgery. The goal of facial and oral reconstruction is to rebuild the natural appearance and restore functions so you may talk, smile, and eat as normally.<\/p>\n

Oral Pathology and Biopsy<\/h4>\n

Oral surgeons are also equipped with the knowledge and skill to perform analysis and biopsies on precancerous or cancerous lesions. Biopsies of a lesion can be obtained as a whole or as part of it. Then, it is carefully examined to determine the presence and extent of a disease.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Initial Consultation<\/h4>\n

We begin your journey with a comprehensive assessment. This includes a full check-up and taking your X-rays and scans to help our surgeons evaluate your condition and determine what you need for your treatment.<\/p>\n

Pre-surgery Preparation<\/h4>\n

Before the surgery day, we will educate you of your treatment plan and provide you with pre-surgical instructions. This will include dietary restrictions and the medications you will take prior to the procedure, if necessary. Your post-surgery plan will also be discussed.<\/p>\n

During Surgery<\/h4>\n

A surgical treatment starts with giving you sedative options, whether through local anaesthesia, oral sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), or general anaesthesia. This usually depends on the complexity of your treatment. Sedation will help improve your surgical experience and allow our team to perform a safe and smooth operation.<\/p>\n

Post-Surgery Care<\/h4>\n

Once done, we will provide you with a detailed instruction list on the do\u2019s and don’ts after treatment. This includes guidelines on medications, diet, and activity. Following this list enhances your recovery and improves the success of the treatment.<\/p>\n

Follow-Up and Long-Term Care<\/h4>\n

You may be required to return to the office after 7 days for a progress check. For more complex procedures, follow-up appointments will be scheduled accordingly. This helps our team monitor your recovery and address concerns in a timely manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>
