The extraction of wisdom teeth, also called wisdom teeth, is a procedure that is performed under local anesthesia, generally simple and with a quick recovery.
It is advisable to extract the wisdom teeth in a period of age between 15 and 30, since being the last teeth to emerge, they tend to develop other teeth, pushing them or causing them to come out crooked.
Orthognathic surgery is performed to correct dentofacial deformities with the mobilization of the upper jaw and mandible.
Therefore, this type of surgery aims to move the jaw to a suitable position, more aesthetic, more functional and of course healthier.
This is achieved through the combined efforts of the specialists in Orthodontics (moves the teeth) and the specialist in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (moves the bones).
Dental implants replace missing tooth roots and form a stable base for replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. Implants help preserve remaining bone by providing the stimulation previously provided by the roots of natural teeth.
At DDS Dental, dental implant placement is a team effort. A successful implant requires all parties involved – the patient, the restorative dentist, and the surgeon – to be in constant communication to ensure that everyone clearly understands what needs to be done to meet the patient's expectations.
To determine the best treatment for each patient, a large number of diagnostic tests are necessary, including x-rays, 3D tomography, models, photographs and an assessment. This information together with the wishes of the patient will determine the ideal treatment
Surgical placement of an implant is the first step. A dental implant is surgically inserted into the jaw and/or maxilla and covered with gum or a special 'healing button'.
Top quality dental implants are permanently integrated with the mandible and maxilla 4 to 6 months after placement.
Occasionally, if a patient does not have enough bone to place an implant, it may be necessary to do a bone graft before placing an implant.
When the implants have stabilized in the mandible and/or maxilla, the restorative dentist prepares an impression to make the model that will serve as a support for the implant
