Reasons You Might Need Oral Surgery  

There are many reasons why oral surgery treatments in Humble may be the right course of action. Here are some common scenarios that indicate surgery might be necessary:

Dental Implants:

Dental implants are a common restorative procedure that falls under the realm of oral surgery. A dental implant is a permanent solution when you want to replace a missing tooth. An implant consists of three parts: the post, the abutment, and the crown. The post will act as your new tooth root, and we must surgically place it into your jawbone. The implant abutment and the crown will act as your new tooth as look in appearance just like a normal tooth. The abutment and crown typically come 3-12 months after the implant placement, as your mouth will need time to heal from the surgery. 

Bone Grafts:

Bone grafts are often a necessary preparatory step for patients receiving dental implants. If the jawbone lacks sufficient density or volume to support the implant securely, a bone graft can help rebuild and strengthen the area. During this procedure, we can place a small amount of bone material—either from your own body, a donor, or synthetic sources—in the area requiring reinforcement. Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a solid foundation for the dental implant. This crucial step ensures the long-term stability and success of the implant. Sometimes bone grafts are needed for other reasons besides implants, in order to promote easier/quicker healing and/or to correct a defect in the gumline. These are needed on a case by case basis and will be discussed with Dr. Dar if he determines the need.

Extractions:

Extractions are one of the most common dental procedures, and they may be necessary for various reasons. Some teeth may need to be extracted due to severe decay or damage/fracture(s), while we may need to remove others to make room for orthodontic treatment.  Wisdom teeth also often need to be extracted due to decay, impaction and abnormal growth/placement.

Although surgery can sound intimidating, it can be a great solution for various dental issues. Keep in mind that there are other types of oral surgeries available that we didn’t include on this list.
