Oral Surgery in Reedley, CA

A dental implant can replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth. This option for tooth restoration is designed to look, feel, and function just like a natural tooth. Removable dentures must be taken out during eating and cleaning, but a dental implant remains in your mouth at all times. Simply care for it the way you care for your other natural teeth and it will last for many years. Dental implants are the only restoration option that preserves the integrity of the jaw bone. The implant post fuses to the bone, preventing the jaw bone from deteriorating and providing the same health benefits as a natural tooth’s root. If you do not replace a missing tooth, the jaw bone will weaken in that area, possibly leading to facial sagging or dental misalignment. The choice to replace missing, damaged, or failing teeth with dental implants is a healthy choice that restores your smile and your confidence.

When a patient requires diagnosing, detailed 3D imaging, or surgery beyond a simple tooth extraction, general dentists will refer them to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. This is because oral surgeons must undergo an additional 4–6 years of training after dental school, which is called an oral surgery residency program. During this time, the surgeon gains experiences performing surgery in a hospital setting for patients with a variety of oral health needs. Oral surgeons are also trained and qualified to administer local and general anesthesia, IV sedation, and nitrous oxide.
