Oral surgery focuses on diagnosing and surgically treating conditions, defects, and injuries of the bone and soft tissues of the oral and maxillofacial region. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive additional training beyond dental school to learn how to perform surgical procedures safely and effectively.
Some common reasons patients may need oral surgery include:
One of the most frequent oral surgeries Dr. Robinette performs is tooth extraction. Reasons teeth may need extraction include severe tooth decay, infection, crowding, or cracks and fractures. Wisdom teeth often become impacted or grow poorly aligned, requiring removal by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon to prevent long-term problems.
Dental implants act as replacement tooth roots, providing a stable foundation to attach replacement teeth. They’re the closest thing to natural teeth and a long-term solution for missing teeth.
Implants prevent bone loss, restore chewing ability, and give a natural appearance. With special training in placing implants, Dr. Robinette helps patients confidently regain their smile with this permanent option.
Bone grafting is sometimes needed before dental implant placement if the jawbone is too thin or damaged to support the implant. This oral surgery procedure replenishes bone volume using natural or synthetic bone material.
Common grafting techniques include:
These procedures require extensive knowledge of oral anatomy and physiology. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete bone grafting with precision, allowing implants or other restorations to be placed for fully functional, natural-looking results.
Dental lasers provide focused light energy to perform oral soft tissue procedures, like gum disease treatment. At Dentistry By Design, Dr. Robinette uses advanced dental laser technology to enhance accuracy, decrease pain and bleeding, and reduce infection risk.
Some benefits of laser dentistry include:
Anxiety or discomfort during oral surgery procedures can be minimized with sedation dentistry. Oral surgeons usually offer different levels of sedation to relax patients and create a peaceful treatment environment.
With oral and IV options, patients enter a relaxed state where they are unaware of the procedure. Dr. Robinette closely monitors patients to ensure optimal sedation safety and effectiveness. Sedation allows complex treatments to be performed comfortably and with minimal memory of the procedure.
