Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth removal is one of the oldest and most commonly performed procedures in the history of dentistry. It is also one of the safest. Nevertheless, as a fairly major surgical procedure, it does entail a healing period, and patients should know what to expect and how they can play a role in their own recovery before they undergo wisdom teeth removal. At Surgical Solutions in Orange City, wisdom teeth recovery tips are discussed in detail during confidential consultations so that patients know precisely what to anticipate going in to the procedure. This reflects the commitment to patient education that informs all of the work we do at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Associates.

About Wisdom Teeth Removal
The “wisdom teeth” are the permanent adult teeth located in the back corners of the mouth. For many people, these teeth cause no issues whatsoever and therefore do not require removal. For others, however, there is simply no room for them on the jaw, which contributes to pain, bite problems, misalignment, or other oral health issues. As a result, one or more of the wisdom teeth must be removed.

In order to remove a wisdom tooth, one of our oral surgeons must:

Anesthetize the patient
Place an incision in the gum around the wisdom tooth
Surgically remove the tooth, usually in pieces
Cleanse the socket that contained the tooth
Stitch the incision closed, if necessary
Place gauze over the site of surgery
Tips for a Healthy Recovery from Wisdom Teeth Removal
Immediately after your oral surgery, you will be asked to bite gently down on the gauze for about an hour in order to keep it in place and prevent excess bleeding. In general, you will not be allowed to rinse your mouth as this will actually encourage bleeding; however, you may be prescribed an antibiotic mouth rinse to help prevent infection. It is important that you use this and any other medications exactly and only as advised.

Among the tips that you will be given to promote a healthy, efficient recovery are:

If you are a smoker, you should not smoke until you have fully healed from surgery. Preferably, you will use this opportunity to give up the habit altogether, as smoking is dangerous to both your oral and overall health.
Continue to brush your teeth, even on the day of your surgery, but use extreme care in doing so. Gentle brushing is important.
Do not use a straw during your recovery.
If you experience external swelling, use an ice pack.
During the first three or four days after your surgery, you should limit your diet to soft or pureed foods such as yogurt and soup. Let your soup cool down a bit before eating it, as hot foods should be avoided altogether until you have healed completely.
Pay close attention to your healing. After three days, your pain and swelling should be lessening, and you should not be experiencing any discharge from the surgical site. You will want to contact our office immediately if you are not healing as expected after three days.

Dental Implants are good for you! 

Replacing multiple teeth using dental implants with individual crowns or with an implant-supported fixed bridge gives your teeth a level of fit, feel and functionality that is not possible with other treatment options. The process is often completed over multiple visits:

Consultation and planning, including initial exam, imaging of your teeth, questions about your dental and medical history, and discussion of your treatment options.

Placement of the dental implants that will be used to support your replacement teeth. Temporary teeth can be placed while the dental implant integrates with your natural bone to form a strong foundation for your replacement teeth. Most people return to work the next day, and any discomfort can typically be treated with commonly used pain medication.

Placement of the abutments, or a small extension that will help connect your replacement teeth, on top of each implant, if needed.

Placement of a fixed, implant-supported bridge, or custom-made replacement teeth (crowns).

Consult with a dental implant expert to find the treatment option for missing teeth that is right for you.

Immediate Load Dental Implants

Dental Implants are good for you!

Some dentists are offering alternative and minimally invasive techniques for dental implants.

Some alternative methods to place dental implants.  Consult with a dental implant expert to find the treatment option for missing teeth that is right for you.

Immediate Load Dental Implants.

Immediate Load Dental Implants, also called “same day implants" and "teeth in a day," allow placement of a temporary tooth (crown) during the same appointment as dental implant placement. You will go on about life and work while the dental implant fuses with your natural bone and the long-term custom crown will be placed in about three to six months. The procedure is best for patients who have enough natural bone and an implant that is secure enough to support immediate placement and pressure on the new temporary tooth.

Immediate placement is not appropriate for all patients and cases, so talk with your dental implant expert about the best option for you.

All-on-4.
All-on-4 is an alternative approach to place a full arch (top or bottom set) of fixed, replacement teeth. Four dental implants are used to stabilize the replacement teeth. The All-on-4 concept involves placing implants in available bone, thereby avoiding the need for bone grafting.  Special abutments allow a temporary set of replacement teeth to be placed the same day and used with a modified diet while gum tissues heal and the implants integrate with natural bone. After about six months, the final bridge is then placed and the patient is able to resume a normal diet.

The all-on-four approach involves multiple appointments, typically including one or two consultation and planning visits, one to place the dental implants and temporary teeth, check-ups during the six month healing period, and another appointment to place the final bridge.
