After Your Oral Surgery: 10 Dos and Don'ts for an Optimal Recovery
Congratulations! Your oral surgery is done, and healing is right around the corner. Take these steps to ensure a smooth recovery so you can move on to enjoying your smile.
Lancaster Dental Care Associates provides the best oral surgeon Los Angeles has to offer. Our team of qualified oral surgeons is experienced in the anatomy of the mouth and common dental issues, and with the top-notch equipment we have available at our practice, their procedures and operations are nothing short of the best.
If you need an experienced oral surgeon to reconfigure your mouth and teeth, then you have landed at the right place. There are several services that our surgeons provide, and the most common ones have been discussed below.
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure that many adults come for at our dental establishment. As the last set of molars are sprouting, more often than not they find an almost congested mouth and they lack enough space for them to grow into, and as such they get impacted in the gums causing pains and complications when chewing food. Simple extraction of these molars is normally the right solution, and our dentists specialize in that operation. After successful extraction, you should be back to normal functioning in about three days with the pain having been gotten rid of.
Though no one really likes the idea of a tooth extraction, sometimes the situation is inevitable. This is especially in cases of tooth decay that has caused too much damage to the tooth, infections, or the risk of infection to certain teeth, crowded teeth, and so on. However, extractions do not have to be a stressing matter for you. We have specialized equipment and technology that ensures that the procedure is comfortable and easy for you.
Our oral surgeon Lancaster also does bone grafting procedures. Bone grafting is necessary in cases where the jaw lacks enough bone matter to support all the teeth comfortably. We also do bone grafting in instances of dental implants operations as we have to ensure that there is enough bone content to support the implants as well as the attachment of the false teeth.
Certain dental conditions are treated with jaw surgery. These are such as problems in teeth alignment, incorrect bite position, and other conditions that would require the permanent changing of the way the jawbone is. Our oral surgeons are experienced in orthognathic procedures to make structural changes on your bone. We also use advanced equipment in such cases which ensure that the operation runs smoothly and the results are exemplary.
Oral pathology is another area of our expertise. The inside of the mouth consists of soft skin that is pink in color when healthy. However, certain conditions may lead to the change in color of this skin, and this is a warning sign that should send you to an oral surgeon. The procedure that we do to establish the cause of such a condition may include oral surgery and having a qualified and experienced practitioner to perform the operation is essential for your safety. Luck for you, we have a couple of those at our dental practice.
