When oral health concerns require surgical intervention, finding skilled oral surgeons in NYC becomes essential for your well-being and peace of mind. Oral surgery encompasses various specialized procedures that address complex dental issues, from wisdom teeth removal to jaw reconstruction, all requiring expert care from experienced professionals committed to your comfort and recovery.
At Dental West NYC, our team of highly trained specialists provides comprehensive oral surgery services in our state-of-the-art Manhattan dental office. Our practice combines advanced surgical techniques with a compassionate approach to ensure each patient receives personalized care for their unique oral health needs.
Common Oral Surgery Procedures
Oral surgery addresses numerous dental conditions that require specialized surgical intervention. While general dentistry focuses on preventive care and basic treatments, oral maxillofacial surgeons tackle complex issues affecting the mouth, jaw, and facial structures.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, often cause problems when they don’t have sufficient space to emerge properly. The surgical removal of wisdom teeth becomes necessary when they grow at awkward angles, remain impacted beneath the gums, or cause pain and infection. Our New York oral surgery specialists provide thorough evaluations to determine if extraction is needed and employ advanced techniques for comfortable wisdom teeth removal.
Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implant placement represents one of the most significant advancements in modern dentistry. This procedure involves the surgical positioning of titanium posts into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Our experienced oral surgeons utilize 3D imaging technology for precise implant placement, ensuring optimal integration with your natural bone structure. The procedure may sometimes include bone grafting procedures when additional support is needed for successful implantation.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Also known as orthognathic surgery, corrective jaw procedures address structural abnormalities affecting jaw function and facial appearance. This specialized form of oral surgery can resolve issues like severe underbites, overbites, or asymmetry that impact speaking, eating, and breathing. Our jaw surgery specialists develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific anatomical needs.
Facial Trauma Treatment
Accidents and injuries can result in facial fractures, soft tissue damage, and tooth avulsion, requiring immediate surgical intervention. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons are trained in facial reconstruction techniques to restore both function and aesthetics following traumatic events. From simple lacerations to complex fractures, we provide emergency oral surgery services designed to minimize long-term complications.
Advanced Diagnostic Services
Proper diagnosis forms the foundation of successful oral surgery outcomes. At Dental West NYC, we implement cutting-edge diagnostic tools to ensure accurate treatment planning.
Oral Pathology
Our oral cancer screening protocols detect abnormal tissues that might indicate pathological conditions. Board-certified oral surgeons evaluate suspicious lesions through visual examination and, when necessary, biopsy procedures. Early detection significantly improves treatment success rates for oral cancer and other pathological conditions.
3D Imaging and Planning
Modern oral surgery relies heavily on advanced imaging technologies. Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art 3D scanning to create detailed visualizations of oral and facial structures. This technology allows for precise surgical planning, reducing procedure times and improving outcomes while enabling minimally invasive procedures whenever possible.
Comfort During Oral Surgery
Many patients experience anxiety about surgical procedures, which is why we prioritize comfort throughout your treatment experience.
Sedation Options
Dental West NYC offers various sedation dentistry options tailored to your anxiety level and procedure complexity. From mild conscious sedation to deeper IV sedation for comfort, our team ensures you remain relaxed during treatment. Our specialists monitor vital signs continuously throughout surgery to maintain safety and comfort.
Post-Operative Care
Recovery represents a crucial phase of your surgical journey. We provide comprehensive post-operative care instructions covering pain management, swelling reduction, dietary modifications, and activity restrictions. Our team remains available to address concerns during recovery, ensuring proper healing and minimizing complications.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
Temporomandibular joint disorders can cause significant pain and dysfunction. Our surgical team provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders, ranging from minimally invasive interventions to more complex surgical approaches for severe cases. Treatment plans address the specific causes of your TMJ symptoms for lasting relief.
