Oral Surgery

Impacted Teeth:

  • Wisdom teeth are the last set of teeth to develop.
    Often, one or more of these teeth become "impacted" between the jawbone and your gums, resulting in swelling, pain, and infection. If left untreated, impacted teeth can cause permanent damage to nearby teeth, gums, and bone and can also lead to tumors that can destroy entire sections of your jaw. Colina Dental can surgically remove your impacted teeth, giving you a healthy smile at prices that will make you smile.

Dental Implants:

  • If you’ve lost teeth due to an accident, infection or
    decay, dental implants are the permanent alternative
    to missing teeth or temporary dentures. Dental
    implants are surgically anchored to look and feel like
    real teeth and work to stabilize your mouth and other artificial teeth, giving you a beautiful, natural smile.

Bone Grafts:

  • If you have missing teeth, your jawbone may become weak or diminished over the years. This results in
    poor quality or insufficient bone for dental implants. At Colina Dental, we can graft new bone, allowing you to grow and replace bone for dental implants that will give you a beautiful smile and fully functional mouth.

Sinus Lifts:

  • Your sinuses are behind your cheeks and on top of
    your upper teeth. Sinuses are like empty rooms with nothing inside. Sometimes the roots of upper teeth extend into the sinus cavity. When these upper teeth
    are removed, the new dental implants need sufficient bone to hold them in place. When the sinus wall is
    very thin, a sinus graft or sinus lift is needed to allow
    the implants enough bone to anchor. The sinus graft allows us to provide permanent fixed implants as an alternative to loose fitting dentures.

Uneven Jaw:

  • If you have difficulty speaking, eating, swallowing or breathing, you may have an uneven jawbone. Oral surgery may be needed to move all or part of your
    upper jaw, lower jaw, or both into a new position that is more balanced, functional, and healthy.

Improved Fit & Comfort of Dentures:

  • For first time denture users, oral surgery can correct
    jaw irregularities to ensure that your dentures fit
    perfectly. For long-term denture wearers, oral surgery
    can add bone graft to support bone that may have deteriorated over time providing a proper fit for your dentures.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders:

  • The TMJ is the small joint in front of the ear where the skull and lower jaw meet. When this joint is off by even
    a small amount, it can create ongoing headache and facial pain. If medications, physical therapy, and
    splints can’t resolve the problem, joint surgery may
    be a recommended option.
