Oral Surgery in Dubbo
Oral surgery at Smile on Dubbo & Narromine helps manage dental concerns that go beyond routine care, including wisdom tooth removal, implant placement, and corrective procedures. This area of dentistry focuses on the teeth, gums, jaws, and related structures, addressing conditions that require surgical treatment. Our aim is to provide professional care in a caring environment, helping patients feel well informed and confident in their options.
When Oral Surgery May Be Needed
Oral surgery can help manage a variety of concerns, including impacted wisdom teeth, severely damaged or infected teeth, missing teeth requiring implants, or jaw and bone conditions that affect function. By addressing these issues, oral surgery can restore comfort, support proper chewing and speaking, and improve long-term oral stability.
Procedures and Process
Your care begins with a consultation where we carry out an examination, which may include scans or X-rays. This allows us to design a personalised treatment plan suited to your needs. The plan will outline the recommended procedure, the surgical approach, and available sedation or anaesthetic options.
During treatment, procedures may involve tooth extraction, dental implant placement, bone grafting, corrective jaw surgery, or other surgical interventions. Depending on the case, surgery may be performed under local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic.
After surgery, our team provides guidance for recovery. This includes rest, a soft diet, careful oral hygiene, and steps to manage swelling or discomfort. Follow-up visits are arranged to monitor healing and ensure everything progresses as expected.
Benefits of Oral Surgery
Well-planned oral surgery can resolve conditions that cause pain or affect day-to-day function. It may allow patients to preserve bone, replace missing teeth with implants, or reduce the risk of ongoing infection. For many, this type of care contributes to long-term oral health and improved quality of life.
Suitability and Alternatives
Not every dental issue requires surgery. For example, root canal therapy, fillings, or crowns may be appropriate for certain cases, while cosmetic options like veneers or bonding may complement surgical care when appearance is a concern. An assessment is always carried out to determine the safest and most effective approach for each patient.
Caring for Your Recovery
Successful healing depends on following the instructions provided before and after surgery. This may include resting for a few days, maintaining good oral hygiene, and avoiding activities that could disturb the surgical site. Our team is available if any unexpected issues arise, ensuring you have ongoing support during recovery.
