Find out what factors can determine whether it’s time you got dental surgery.
There are many reasons why your Bolingbrook, IL dentist may recommend oral surgery. While getting surgery on your mouth may seem 
rather scary and intimidating it is our goal to answer all of your questions and to make sure you get the best and most comfortable care possible. Discover the many elements that could help you decide whether oral surgery is right for you.
Are you dealing with tooth loss?
One of the best and most effective ways to replace one or more missing teeth is with dental implants. Of course, it isn’t the only option your dentist in Bolingbrook offers, but it can be a more advantageous option than bridges or dentures. An implant acts as an artificial tooth root and is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it will fuse together with bone and tissue to become a permanent part of your bone.
Are your wisdom teeth impacted?
Wisdom teeth, or the third molars, typically emerge during your late teens or early twenties. The majority of the time the jaw isn’t large enough to accommodate these teeth and they will not fully emerge from the gums. This can lead to swelling, pain and even infection. Before the impacted wisdom teeth cause irreparable damage to healthy teeth talk to us about having your wisdom teeth removed. This outpatient procedure usually takes no more than one hour to complete.
Do you want to repair a cleft lip or cleft palate?
This condition occurs when the mouth and nasal cavity don’t properly grow together before birth. A cleft lip or palate causes a split in the roof of the mouth or the lip. Your oral surgeon will be able to correct this congenital disorder through several surgical procedures and treatments.
