Oral And Maxillofacial Surgery In North Las Vegas
Whether you experienced a dental emergency or need to treat a dental condition that’s affecting your health, Absolute Dental provides comprehensive oral surgery services to get your smile back on track.
Tooth Extraction
If you need a simple extraction, your general dentist may be able to perform this in the office. However, a complex surgical extraction requires a trained oral surgeon to remove the tooth and repair any damage.
Dental Implants
Patients with missing teeth can restore their smiles with permanent dental implants. These implants are placed in the tooth socket to fuse with the bone, improving dental function and preventing other teeth from shifting. Ask your dentist or oral surgeon if dental implants are a good solution for you!
Dental Bone Graft
When the bone below the teeth is damaged or loses density, your dentist may recommend a bone graft procedure to reverse these effects. The oral surgeon will create a small incision in the gums to place special bone grafting material in the bone to encourage regeneration and growth.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea Treatment
Some people suffer from sleep apnea when they have palate issues that cause the throat to relax and narrow too much while sleeping. The tonsils and uvula obstruct the airway and interrupt sleep. Our oral surgeons can address this issue by fixing jaw problems that contribute to this condition.
Cleft Lip and Palate Treatment
About one in every 1,600 babies in the United States are born with a cleft lip and palate. The oral surgeons at Absolute Dental may be able to treat this craniofacial defect in babies and work with the child’s pediatrician to stay on top of their oral health.
Orthodontic Surgery
Some people have dental misalignments and bite issues that affect how they chew, speak, and smile. Our North Las Vegas orthodontics team offers different solutions, including traditional metal braces, that will help to correct these problems. However, patients may need orthodontic surgery to fix severe malocclusion and jaw misalignments before starting braces treatment.
Jaw Repair Surgery
If you injured your jaw in an accident or fall, getting treatment right away is essential to avoid future problems. Likewise, ongoing temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can damage the jaw and cause chronic pain and tension. Our oral surgeons can repair the jaw using the latest techniques and technology to improve functionality and reduce symptoms.
