SURGICAL DENTISTRY
If you’ve lost bone in that area due to reasons such as periodontal disease or tooth loss, you may be left without enough bone to place implants. Sinus lift surgery – also known as sinus augmentation – can help correct this problem by raising the sinus floor and developing bone for the placement of dental implants.
Flap surgery involves transporting healthy, live tissue from one location of the body to another – often to areas that have lost skin, fat, muscle movement, and/or skeletal support.
An alveoloplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smooths out the jaw where a tooth or teeth have been extracted or lost. The part of the jawbone that houses the teeth is called the alveolus, and “plasty” means molding, so alveoloplasty is the process of molding or reshaping the jaw.
A gingival depigmentation is a periodontal plastic procedure that is performed in order to remove melanocytic pigmentation. A variety of different modalities have been proposed for removing hyperpigmentation involving surgical scraping, gingival autograft, cryotherapy, electrosurgery, and lasers.
An apicectomy is the removal of the tip of the root of the tooth, known as the apex. What is involved? The surgeon will numb the tooth and the surrounding area. A flap of gum is lifted and the tip of the root and a small amount of surrounding bone and infected tissue are removed.
