The Benefits
Oral surgery plays an essential role in maintaining both oral health and overall wellbeing. While no one looks forward to surgery, the benefits are long-lasting and can significantly improve comfort, appearance, and function.
1. Relief from Pain and Infection
Procedures such as wisdom tooth removal or an apicectomy help eliminate infection and ease pain that cannot be managed with routine dentistry.
2. Preventing Further Dental Problems
Leaving problem teeth untreated can lead to more severe issues, including gum disease, abscesses, or damage to surrounding teeth. Oral surgery prevents complications before they develop further.
3. Improving Everyday Comfort
Complex extractions and surgical treatments allow patients to chew, speak, and live comfortably without ongoing irritation or discomfort.
