What we do.
At Oral Surgery +, we specialize in wisdom teeth removal with efficiency and expertise. Our well-structured approach and advanced training enable our team of surgeons and nurses to perform significantly more extractions per day than a single surgeon could manage alone.
How.
Our oral surgeries are carefully planned and executed to achieve the best possible outcomes. The process begins with an initial consultation, where we assess your medical history and specific needs. Advanced imaging techniques, such as X-rays or 3D scans, help ensure precise surgical planning.
On the day of the procedure, anesthesia is administered for your comfort. The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum to access the tooth and surrounding bone. If necessary, the tooth is sectioned into smaller pieces for easier removal. After extraction, the area is thoroughly cleaned, and stitches are used to close the site.
Post-surgery, we provide detailed instructions for managing pain, swelling, and proper healing. Follow-up visits help monitor your recovery and address any concerns. Our thorough approach ensures a safe, smooth, and effective oral surgery experience.
Why.
Oral surgery is essential for addressing complex dental issues that go beyond routine dental care. Here are key reasons why surgical intervention may be necessary:
- Wisdom Teeth Removal: Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can cause pain, infections, and damage to nearby teeth. Extraction helps prevent these issues.
- Corrective Jaw Surgery: Jaw misalignment can affect chewing, speech, and breathing. Surgery improves function and enhances facial balance.
- Treatment of Oral Conditions: Cysts, tumors, and severe infections often require surgical management to ensure proper treatment and prevent further complications.
- Chronic Pain Relief: Conditions like TMJ disorders and advanced gum disease may need surgical solutions to reduce discomfort and improve overall well-being.
At Oral Surgery + of Monroe and Wisdom Teeth of Louisiana, our expertise and cutting-edge techniques ensure safe, effective, and comfortable oral surgical care.
