Oral Surgery in Maryborough
When you need oral surgery services, our highly skilled team of dentists is ready to help you every step of the way.
Whether you need a tooth extraction due to infection or injury, it’s time to have your wisdom teeth removed, or an implant needs to be replaced, we use the latest technology and techniques to ensure the best possible outcomes that are as comfortable as possible.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions can be necessary for any number of reasons, including trauma to the tooth, decay, infection, periodontal disease, and extra teeth.
Before the extraction is done, a detailed exam or X-rays will be done to ensure it’s necessary and cannot be fixed with a crown, filling, or other treatment.
During the procedure, the proper anaesthetic will be given for a more relaxing experience, whether it is a localised anaesthetic or you need general anaesthesia. After the extraction, your blood should start to clot and begin to heal in the tooth’s empty socket. We’ll pack the area with gauze so that it can begin the healing process.
You will be given additional instructions to help your healing progress at home.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth are a third set of molars that develop in the late teens and into your early 20s. They could require removal due to complications, like pain and discomfort, impaction, cysts or tumours, or crowding in the mouth. Removing your wisdom teeth may also be a vital step in periodontal therapy or orthodontic treatments.
If removal is necessary, we will discuss various sedation choices to make the experience as comfortable as possible.
Implant Replacement
Occasionally, a dental implant will fail and will need to be replaced. When this occurs, the dentist will assess the area around the implant, remove it, and repair it.
The dentist will then determine if enough healthy bone tissue is left over to replace the implant once the area is healed and discuss that with you.
Sedation Nitrous Oxide
Often known as ‘happy gas’, sedation dentistry (nitrous oxide) helps patients feel more at ease and experience less pain during oral surgery. If this is something that interests you or is required for your particular surgery, the dentist will discuss this option with you before surgery.
