Oral Surgery in Leland, Wilmington & Shallotte
Sometimes preventive dental care doesn’t work and more serious treatments are required. At Complete Dental Leland, we provide surgical dental procedures to patients who have tried alternative treatment methods without success. Certain instances where oral surgery may be necessary could include impacted wisdom teeth that need removal, an infected tooth pulp, or seriously decayed and damaged teeth.
Dental Extraction
When other dental treatments don’t work, dental extractions (tooth removal) may be necessary. Dental extractions may also be used in the event of a traumatic dental injury, if the tooth cannot be saved using other methods. Some of the reasons a patient may need an extraction are:
- Overcrowding of teeth
- Wisdom teeth that are impacted
- Traumatic / severe dental injury
- An active infection or potential for serious infection
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth may have to be extracted for two reasons, either they are impacted and at risk or they will damage the alignment of your existing teeth. Most patients have all four wisdom teeth removed at once, but our oral surgeon can determine a custom treatment plan for your situation.
Dental Implants
When patients have extremely damaged teeth that need to be removed, dental implants are often used to replace the teeth. Dental implants require a titanium post to be attached to the jawbone so that crowns, bridges or dentures can be attached to them.
If you are living with infected, damaged teeth, contact Complete Dental Leland in North Carolina today and schedule an appointment at one of our locations in Leland, Shallotte, and Wilmington. We can discuss your different treatment options and decide if oral surgery is right for you.
