Our top oral surgery treatments at Olympia Advanced Dentistry include:
Tooth Extractions
At Olympia Advanced Dentistry, we aim to keep your natural teeth healthy, but in some situations, tooth extraction is the optimal path for your long-term oral health. The extraction might be necessary due to severe decay, gum disease, injury, or orthodontic needs. Our skilled team will ensure the procedure is as comfortable as possible, thoroughly discuss it with you beforehand, and provide comprehensive instructions for healing. Following the extraction, we also offer several tooth replacement options to help you restore your smile's aesthetics and function.
Bone Graft Surgery
If you're thinking about dental implants or have experienced bone loss in your jaw, a bone graft at Olympia Advanced Dentistry could be essential for creating a solid and lasting foundation for your new smile. This procedure carefully introduces bone material to areas lacking sufficient density or volume, stimulating your body's natural bone regeneration. By ensuring adequate bone support, a bone graft significantly improves the success and lifespan of dental implants and can also enhance the stability of other dental restorations. Our dentists will thoroughly assess your unique situation to determine if a bone graft is right for you and will guide you through the process with expert care.
Guided Implant Surgery
Guided implant surgery at our office utilizes advanced 3D imaging and computer planning to ensure precise and predictable placement of your dental implants. This technology allows us to visualize your jawbone and vital structures with exceptional accuracy before the actual surgery. We then create a custom surgical guide that fits over your gums, indicating the exact location, angle, and depth for implant placement. This minimally invasive approach enhances safety, reduces surgical time, and often leads to faster healing and the best functional and aesthetic results for your new smile.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a simple, often quick surgical procedure involving the removal of a frenum, which is a small band of tissue that connects two areas in your mouth, such as the gums to the lip or the tongue to the floor of the mouth. When a frenum is too tight, short, or thick, it can cause issues like tongue-tie (restricted tongue movement), lip restrictions, gaps between front teeth (diastema), or gum recession. A frenectomy releases this restriction, allowing for improved movement and optimal function.
At Olympia Advanced Dentistry, each frenectomy is performed with an ultra-precise diode laser, resulting in a fast, minimally invasive procedure. The procedure often involves local anesthesia for comfort. Following the frenectomy, patients can expect a brief healing period with minimal downtime.
