Oral surgery can do many things to improve your oral health. Whether you need a wisdom tooth extracted or treatment for gum disease, several types of oral surgery are available for restoring the health of your teeth and gums. In Miami, FL, oral surgery is performed at Periodontal World, where Dr. Angel Diaz-Norrman and Dr. Marco Morales can recommend the right procedure for restoring your oral health.
Benefits of Oral Surgery
One of the benefits of oral surgery is that it serves many purposes. It can restore tooth functioning, stop the spread of infection, and alleviate pain and discomfort associated with certain oral conditions, such as TMJ disorder. Oral surgery even has cosmetic benefits, such as restoring your smile following tooth loss. A minor surgical procedure can be performed to place dental implants in preparation for receiving tooth restorations, such as dental crowns, bridgework, or implant-supported dentures.
Another benefit of oral surgery is that it does not need to be performed in a hospital setting. Procedures can be performed in the comfortable and familiar surroundings of your regular dentist’s office. Since oral surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, you’ll be able to return home the same day.
