Implant Reconstruction

Implant Reconstruction

Dental implants are titanium metal cylinders that replace tooth roots. They are placed into the jaw bones where bone grows into them and locks them in place. Dental implants are used very effectively to replace missing teeth. Dental implants may comfortably and permanently replace one or more teeth, and are regarded by many as one of the most important advances in dentistry in the last 50 years. OMSs plan and place dental implants used to replace missing teeth. Training in the placement of implants includes proper diagnosis, treatment, site preparation (including the reconstruction of bone and soft tissues), and maintenance.

Anesthesia

Anesthesia

OMSs are trained to become experts in all aspects of pain and anxiety control, including general anesthesia/deep sedation, and conscious sedation. Much of their training focuses on ambulatory anesthesia and airway management, preparing them to administer safe and effective anesthesia services in the dental office and other ambulatory settings.

Dentoalveolar Surgery

Dentoalveolar Surgery

The mainstay of most OMS practice involves the extraction of diseased or impacted teeth. Surgical exposure of impacted teeth to enable the orthodontic assisted eruption of those teeth into a functional and esthetic position is an important part of dentoalveolar surgical practice. Other traditional office procedures include preparation of the mouth for dentures, treatment of oral infections and biopsy of suspicious lesions of the hard and soft tissue. OMSs also serve as the primary referral source for general dentists needing advice or assistance with the diagnosis of oral surgical problems.

Bone Regeneration

Bone Regeneration

A bone graft is bone taken from the patient, donor (human or animal) or manufactured from synthetic materials. The bone graft can directly replace missing bone or provide a scaffolding on which the patient’s own bone can grow. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon (OMS) is an expert in bone reconstruction and will help you make the best decision about what kind of bone to use and how best to use it.
