Oral Surgery
How do you know if you need it?
The thought of surgery in any context is scary enough. Now add that to the common dental anxiety many of us face, and it’s understandable why patients often avoid these procedures even when they need them. Luckily, modern dental technology has advanced with the times, and most oral surgeries have become less painful and more effective than ever before. If you need oral surgery in Palm Beach County, come visit the experts at Shapiro Family Dentistry!
What is Oral Surgery?
In dentistry, oral surgery, often grouped as oral and maxillofacial surgery, is a surgical specialty that addresses injuries, malformations, and cosmetic improvements of the mouth and jaw. Oral surgeries can range from simple tooth extractions to complex full mouth reconstructions.
Which Oral Surgery Options Do You Offer?
Our Shapiro Family Dentistry team boasts skilled oral surgeons with experience in cosmetic, reconstructive, and endodontic surgery. Some of the oral surgery procedures we offer include:
Tooth Extractions
Dental extractions are the complete removal of a tooth, including the root, from the gum and jawbone. Tooth extractions are necessary in cases in which a patient has an impacted tooth, overcrowded teeth, or a severe dental infection.
Dental Implants
Dental implants refer to the combination of components used to place an artificial tooth where a natural tooth has been lost or removed. These prosthetics use a post, abutment, and dental crown to restore a full smile with life-like teeth that look and function like a real tooth.
Root Canals
Dental implants are perhaps the most common type of oral surgery. This procedure is performed by an endodontist and involves removing the infected pulp at the center of the tooth to prevent further harm and losing a tooth altogether.
