You may need to refer to a specialist for complex tooth and jaw procedures that go beyond the expertise of your regular dentist. To practice competently, an oral surgeon needs adequate training in several areas, including oral pathology and anesthesia.

There are various reasons why a person could need surgical jaw and teeth treatments. Common ones include:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/how-much-does-a-tooth-extraction-cost-how-to-ensure-youre-covered\/\"><b>Tooth extraction<\/b><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good dental health practices ensure your natural teeth stay healthy. But a dentist can help restore, save, and repair any teeth with issues, possibly through a root canal. However, sometimes a dentist will decide to remove a tooth with severe decay, infection, or injury. The procedure is often carried out on-site using a local anesthetic.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Impacted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/should-i-get-my-wisdom-taken-out-wisdom-teeth-removal-cost-and-benefits\/\">wisdom teeth<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes a person\u2019s jaw is not large enough for the wisdom teeth to grow in properly. Other times, the wisdom teeth fail to emerge in proper alignment or become trapped (or impacted) between the jawbone and the gum tissue. In either case, the wisdom teeth will have to be surgically removed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can delaying wisdom teeth extractions cause problems? Well, in many cases, impacted wisdom teeth can irreversibly damage nearby teeth, gums, and bone. They may even cause cysts or tumors to form, damaging sections of the jaw.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this can happen to other teeth as well. OPG x-rays can guide dentists on the best possible course of action.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Tooth <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opencare.com\/blog\/affordable-dental-implants-how-to-find-low-cost-options\/\">implants<\/a><\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your dentist will replace a missing tooth as soon as possible. Not only does it improve oral function and your smile, but it also protects the remaining teeth from damage. A dentist may recommend dentures and bridges if you have several missing teeth. However, if you are looking for a long-term treatment option for a single tooth, dental implants are great alternatives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The surgeon will surgically implant a metal post into the jawbone. It will help stabilize the artificial teeth and provide a base for the crown.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Maxillofacial surgery<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anyone could need maxillofacial surgery for many reasons. For instance, facial reconstructive surgery can repair a fractured jaw after an injury or accident. Other treatments include unequal jaw growth, cleft lip or cleft palate repair, and sinus issues. Maxillofacial surgeries are often major procedures, requiring hospitalization and IV sedation.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Oral cancer diagnosis<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You know how important it is to maintain good oral health. However, if you smoke or use tobacco, you should get annually screened for oral cancer. If your dentist discovers a lesion in your mouth during a checkup, he may write a referral for an oral surgeon and order a biopsy. A lab will analyze it to check for cancer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Gum and bone grafting<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Receding gums is common in people over the age of 50. It\u2019s caused by various reasons, such as tartar buildup, improper brushing, and gum disease. Thankfully, dentists can repair gum recession with gum grafting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bone loss in your jaw can negatively affect the health of nearby gums and teeth. A dental bone graft can increase the amount of bone in places where bone loss is evident. A dentist may also perform this procedure when the site of implant placement requires additional support.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\">\n<h3><b>Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders<\/b><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/tmj\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20350941\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">TMJ<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0is the small joint where the skull meets the lower jaw.

But how do you go about finding the right dental surgeon?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose an experienced practitioner with sufficient training and clinical expertise. After all, oral surgery has a long-term effect on your health, dental function, and appearance. And you only want an ADA board-certified oral surgeon that has state-of-the-art technology. Moreover, they must offer exceptional care during and after the procedure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some guidelines that can make this task easier for you:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Location matters<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often oral surgeries require repeat visits. Try to find an oral surgeon close to home. The last thing you need is a long drive to and from the dentist\u2019s office, especially after an uncomfortable procedure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google dentist surgery near me to help you find surgeons and experts for services you\u2019re looking for. However, remember to search for clinics that accept your insurance coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><b>Do your homework<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lots of sites on the internet can rate surgeons and their offices. Take advantage of review sites and check up on what previous patients have to say. You should be looking at bedside manner, aftercare, the professionalism of the entire staff, and much more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, look at the doctor\u2019s education, years of experience, and professional affiliation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Get recommendations<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good surgeon with extensive experience has built up a reputation for himself over the years. Your regular dentist should recommend an oral surgeon. However, don\u2019t forget to ask your family and friends as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ask your insurance provider<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re searching for a cheap oral surgeon near me, make sure to find a surgeon that your insurer covers. Out-of-network doctors tend to cost more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit your insurance provider\u2019s website or speak to a company representative. They will provide a list of doctors by specialty and give you the address of their offices. Cross-check these names with recommendations and go from there. For instance, if you\u2019re looking for wisdom teeth surgeons, verify your coverage with both the dentist and your insurance provider.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, don\u2019t let this limit your choices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, select a doctor you trust and one that makes you feel comfortable. A friendly face that communicates with you throughout the entire process can make a world of difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to find emergency oral surgery services<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you\u2019re faced with a dental emergency that needs immediate attention, you\u2019ll need to find a\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/opencare.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dentist near you<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0fast.

Your doctor will prescribe pain medication that will help ease your pain and speed up the recovery process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nowadays, many oral surgeries take a couple of hours, and the patient goes home on the same day. A detailed list of post-operative instructions will help you get well in the shortest time possible.

If you need comprehensive treatments, call the office phone number.
