What is Oral Surgery?
Dr. Emmy provides a range of surgical procedures aimed at improving both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your smile. These procedures, including bone grafts, dental implants, sinus lifts, and alveoloplasty, are strategically designed to strengthen the jaw or prepare for dentures and implants.
Issues such as missing teeth or periodontal disease can lead to jaw bone weakening or deterioration. A dental bone graft addresses this concern by replacing lost bone with various transplanted bone types. The sinus lift procedure elevates the sinus membrane, increasing bone volume in the upper jaw to accommodate dental implants. Alveoloplasty, on the other hand, reshapes the jawbone ridge, either in preparation for denture fitting or to aid healing after tooth extraction.
Dr. Emmy's expertise can guide you toward the optimal surgical solution for your unique needs.

BENEFITS OF ORAL SURGERY
Each dental surgery contributes to a more functional and visually appealing smile. A bone graft not only strengthens the entire facial structure but also creates a stable environment for remaining teeth, preventing further loss.
In the case of a sinus lift, the procedure increases bone volume in the upper jaw by lifting the sinus membrane. Commonly performed to prepare for dental implants, a sinus lift addresses various needs.
Alveoloplasty, when conducted alongside tooth extraction, can prevent the need for future surgical interventions. For denture fitting, it ensures an optimal surface for stability, comfort, and retention, enhancing the overall dental experience.
