Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery Mount Waverley

Being told that you need oral surgery is not something any of us want to hear, but in actual fact, minor oral surgical procedures are really not daunting. Think about it, wouldn’t you rather have a minor oral surgery to prevent any oral health issues turning into something far more serious and difficult to treat further down the line?

At Dentist@330 we regularly perform simple extractions and wisdom teeth extractions. A simple extraction refers to the removal of a normal tooth, whilst, as the name states a wisdom tooth extraction is exactly that. Simple extractions may be performed for a number of reasons: a tooth is too decayed or damaged to save, it is severely misaligned and causes the patient to bite the inside of their cheek, or it is causing overcrowding in the mouth and needs to be removed so another orthodontic procedure can be performed.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are usually extracted because there is a lack of space for them to grow properly which results in them becoming impacted, developing at an incorrect angle or unable to fully emerge through the gum or bone.

Dr. Xi examined me, extracted my teeth, filled my teeth, and made many visits. She has a kind attitude and superb skills. She deserves a lot of praise! I would like to sincerely thank this dental clinic and Dr. Xi. I don’t know much English, so I only write this comment in Chinese.

Dr Faith is very kind and knowledgeable, and especially brings joy to children who are afraid of dental treatment.Whenever my children have dental issues, they always ask me to make an appointment with Dr Faith first and insist on receiving treatment only from her.I strongly recommend Dr Faith to anyone in need of dental treatment, regardless of age.

Dr Tran and Charlotte did an incredible job of removing multiple wisdom teeth for my partner and I. Dr Tran was quick and efficient all the way providing the best comforting care supported by Charlotte. I felt no pain and had a very quick recovery period.After visiting two other dentists, Dr Tran was the only dentist confident to do my removal in the chair rather than a hospital. She truly is the wisdom teeth expert.Dentist@330 have got two new regular patients in us and also recommendations to our entire family.

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience here at Dentist@330! The clinic was very nice and clean. Dr Tran was lovely and treated my chipped tooth with a filling and cleaning service and I was very pleasantly surprised with how quick the session was. I have not experienced any pain in my tooth since!

I was very anxious about having my teeth clean due to sensitive teeth.Dr Faith throughout my procedure would stop to ensure I was okay before continuing on. Made the whole experience comfortable.Dr Faith was an absolute angel and the rest of the staff were so warm and friendly on arrival.

FAQs

What is considered minor oral surgery?

Minor oral surgery typically includes procedures such as simple extractions, wisdom teeth removal, and other minor surgical interventions aimed at addressing specific dental issues. These procedures are generally less invasive and require shorter recovery times compared to major surgeries.

Why might a simple tooth extraction be necessary?

A simple tooth extraction may be necessary for several reasons, including severe decay or damage that cannot be repaired, misalignment causing irritation to the cheek, or overcrowding that prevents orthodontic treatment. Removing the problematic tooth helps maintain overall oral health and facilitates other dental treatments.

What are wisdom teeth, and why do they often need to be extracted?

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, are the last set of teeth to emerge, usually in late adolescence or early adulthood. They often need to be extracted due to a lack of space in the mouth, which can cause them to become impacted, grow at incorrect angles, or fail to fully emerge. These issues can lead to pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth.

What can I expect during a simple extraction procedure?

During a simple extraction, the dentist will numb the area around the tooth to ensure you do not feel pain. The tooth is then gently loosened and removed using specialised tools. The procedure is quick, and recovery typically involves minimal discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers and proper aftercare.

Are there any risks associated with wisdom teeth removal?

As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with wisdom teeth removal, including infection, bleeding, and temporary numbness. However, these risks are generally low, and the benefits of removing problematic wisdom teeth often outweigh potential complications. Your dentist will discuss any concerns and provide guidance on how to minimise risks.

How should I prepare for and recover from oral surgery?

Preparation for oral surgery includes following your dentist’s instructions, such as fasting before the procedure if necessary. Post-surgery, it is important to follow aftercare guidelines, which may include avoiding strenuous activity, eating soft foods, and maintaining oral hygiene to prevent infection. Your dentist will provide detailed instructions tailored to your specific procedure and needs.
