Request AppointmentOral surgery refers to any surgery that is performed on the tissues of your mouth, including your teeth and gums.
Most oral surgery procedures are common and address conditions that many people experience, such as impacted wisdom teeth, gum disease or tooth loss.
While every case is different, many of these oral surgery procedures are completed on an outpatient basis, and patients can resume work or normal activities within a few days.
At St. Joseph Orleans Dental Centre, our dentist offers the following oral surgery procedures to care for your oral health.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is placed to hold a tooth replacement. If you've lost teeth due to injury or disease, dental implants are a secure, stable solution, and they can blend in well with your natural teeth. Dental implants can help address a number of oral health issues.
A gum graft is an oral surgery procedure that is used to thicken gums. Our dentist performs gum grafts for patients who have excessive gum recession and need to protect their teeth from damage, or for cosmetic reasons, to improve the aesthetics of their smile.
A tooth extraction is an oral surgery procedure where your dentist removes a tooth from its socket in the jaw bone. Our dentist performs tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal when a tooth cannot be saved or is causing issues for your oral health.
Periodontal (gum) flap surgery is the removal of excess soft tissue in order to stimulate the healthy growth of gums. It is commonly used to repair periodontal pockets, a result of inflammation and infection which can be caused by advanced gum disease.
