Could Oral Surgery Help Me?

What your dentist in El Paso wants you to knoworal surgery

Oral surgery isn’t just taking teeth out. Oral surgery can help you in many other ways too. The right oral surgery procedure can improve the way you look and the way your jaws function. Dr. Steve Yi at El Paso Viva Dental in El Paso, TX wants to introduce you to the many ways you can benefit from oral surgery. He proudly serves residents of the Texas and New Mexico region and wants to help you too.

It’s true that many oral surgery procedures are performed to extract teeth. These are just a few of the reasons you may need teeth extracted:

  • If you have wisdom teeth that don’t have enough room to erupt
  • If you need teeth taken out for orthodontic treatment
  • To eliminate pain from an infected tooth that can’t be restored
  • If you have mobile teeth due to bone loss from periodontal disease
  • A tooth that can’t be helped with root canal treatment

Let’s look beyond removing teeth and check out some of the other ways oral surgery can help you.

If you want dental implants, you will need a surgical procedure to place the implant screws. During a simple in-office procedure, the implant screws are put in place, and over time, your bone grows and surrounds the implants. After healing is complete, Dr. Yi will place beautiful implant crowns over the screws, and you have new teeth!

You may also need an oral surgery procedure if you have abnormal looking tissue in your mouth. A small sample of tissue is taken during a biopsy and evaluated to determine if the tissue is cancerous. A biopsy is the only way to tell for sure if you have cancer. It’s important to seek out Dr. Yi to determine if a biopsy is needed, especially if you notice any suspicious white areas, wrinkled tissue or open sores that don’t heal.

You may also need oral surgery if your jaws, face or head have been injured in an accident. Reconstructive surgery can help restore your facial contours and normal function of your jaws.

These are just a few of the ways oral surgery can help you. For more information about oral surgery procedures and other restorative dental services, call Dr. Yi at El Paso Viva Dental in El Paso, TX today!
