Wisdom Tooth Extractions
While the average mouth can only accommodate 28 teeth, most people will develop an additional 4 teeth by the age of 18. These additional teeth are your third molars, also know as wisdom teeth, and by the time they come in, there is no room for them.
When space is limited, wisdom teeth often grow sideways, either partially surfacing or burying themselves beneath your gums and bone. In such situations, these impacted wisdom teeth may lead to a wide array of dental complications
- Damage of nearby teeth resulting from the impacted molars
- Gum disease or irritation
- Pain in your gums or jaw
- Soft tissue infections behind your last molars
- Tooth decay surrounding the impacted teeth
If you have experienced any negative symptoms resulting from impacted wisdom teeth, call Southtowns Dental Services immediately for a consultation.
Some Instances Where Oral Surgery Is Essential
Impacted Wisdom
Teeth
Wisdom teeth may become impacted, causing pain, infection, and potential damage to surrounding teeth. Oral surgery is often necessary to remove impacted wisdom teeth.
Dental Implant
Placement
Oral surgery is required to place dental implants, which are artificial tooth roots used to replace missing teeth. The surgical procedure involves implanting the titanium post into the jawbone for stability and integration.
Jaw
Misalignment
Severe jaw misalignment can impact oral function, facial aesthetics, and overall well-being. Corrective jaw surgery, also known as orthognathic surgery, may be necessary to realign the jaw and improve function and appearance.
TMJ
Disorders
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain, jaw stiffness, and difficulty in opening or closing the mouth. In certain cases, oral surgery may be recommended to address underlying structural issues and alleviate symptoms.
Facial
Trauma
Oral surgery is often required to repair facial injuries, such as fractures of the jaw or facial bones. Surgery can restore proper function, aesthetics, and stability to the affected area.
Biopsy and Tumor
Removal
Oral surgery may be necessary to perform biopsies or remove tumors or cysts present in the mouth or jaw. These procedures help diagnose and treat potentially serious conditions.

★★★★★ 5/5
I had an excellent experience yesterday, my first visit, as an emergency patient. They took me in right away, late in the day, at least 5:30 pm. Doctor diagnosed me with a gum infection, which was causing me the most excruciating pain I’ve ever experienced. Gave me antibiotics, and today, after 3 doses, I have no more pain. Will recommend this practice to everyone I know. Thank you, Dr Bill!!
