Dentoalveolar surgery encompasses a variety of surgical procedures involving the teeth and supporting structures within the oral cavity and jaws. These procedures may include tooth extractions, removal of impacted teeth, dental implant placement, alveolar bone grafting, and treatment of oral pathology.

Common Procedures in Dentoalveolar Surgery:

Tooth Extractions: Removal of damaged, decayed, or non-restorable teeth to alleviate pain, prevent infection, and preserve oral health.
Wisdom Teeth Removal: Extraction of impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth to prevent complications such as infection, crowding, and damage to adjacent teeth.
Dental Implant Placement: Surgical placement of dental implants to replace missing teeth and restore oral function and aesthetics.
Alveolar Bone Grafting: Augmentation of the jawbone with bone grafts to restore bone volume and density for successful dental implant placement.
Treatment of Oral Pathology: Surgical removal of cysts, tumors, or other pathological lesions within the oral cavity to prevent progression and ensure oral health.
