Oral Surgery
A number of
conditions may require oral surgery including:
Impacted Teeth
 Wisdom Teeth,
otherwise known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to
develop. Sometimes these teeth emerge from the gum line and the
jaw is large enough to allow room for them, but most of the
time, this is not the case. More often, one or more of these
third molars fails to emerge in proper alignment or fails to
fully emerge through the gum line and becomes entrapped or
“impacted” between the jawbone and the gum tissue. Impacted
wisdom teeth can result in swelling, pain, and infection of the
gum tissue surrounding the wisdom teeth. In addition, impacted
wisdom teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth, gums,
and bone and can sometimes lead to the formation of cysts or
tumors that can destroy sections of the jaw. Therefore, Dr.
Tandon recommends people with impacted wisdom teeth have them
surgically removed.
It’s not just
wisdom teeth that sometimes become impacted and need to be
removed. Other teeth, such as the cuspids and the bicuspids can
become impacted and can cause the same types of problems
described with impacted wisdom teeth
Tooth Loss &
Dental Implants
The implants are an
option for tooth loss due to an accident or infection or as an
alternative to dentures. The implants are tooth root substitutes
that are surgically anchored in place in the jawbone and act to
stabilize the artificial teeth to which they are attached.
Suitable candidates for dental implants need to have an adequate
bone level and density, must not be prone to infection, and must
be willing to maintain good oral hygiene practices.
Improve fit of
dentures.
For first-time denture wearer, oral surgery can be done to
correct any irregularities of the jaw prior to creating the
denture to ensure a better fit. Oral surgery can also help
long-term denture wearers. Supporting bone often deteriorates
over time resulting in dentures that no longer fit properly. In
severe cases, an oral surgeon can add a bone graft to area where
little bone remains.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders & Headache
TMJ dysfunction and
myofacial pain can cause debilitating, frustrating issues. Many
patients suffer from headaches, ringing in the ears, neck pain,
and tingling in the extremities, among other problems. We offer
services designed to remedy pain and correct the imbalance in
the jaw joints. Dr. Tandon also treats the occlusion and bite
relationships to achieve whole-mouth harmony.
Your jaw joints, or
temporomandibular joints, control the opening and closing of
your upper and lower jaws. When these joints experience stress,
fatigue, or injury, the TMJ become misaligned, this causes
irritation in the surrounding muscles and nerves. We will
evaluate your entire mouth to confirm TMJ dysfunction. Then, Dr.
Sanseep Tandon will recommend the appropriate non-surgical TMJ
therapy, which may involve an oral appliance to prevent
clenching and grinding, restorations to rebuild your bite,
exercises to strengthen the muscles, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatories
to alleviate discomfort.
