With a team of highly trained and experienced dentists, we are able to offer oral surgery procedures in our office, without the need to refer our patients to an outside oral surgeon. We offer dental implant placement, teeth extractions, and periodontal surgeries.
At Dental Professionals of Fair Lawn, our dedication to providing comprehensive oral health services is exemplified through our specialized oral surgery offerings. Our team of experienced oral surgeons is equipped to handle a wide range of procedures, from wisdom teeth extractions to corrective jaw surgery. Utilizing the latest in surgical techniques and technology, we ensure a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment experience for our patients.
One of the most common procedures performed at Dental Professionals of Fair Lawn is the extraction of wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often emerge during late adolescence or early adulthood and can cause a variety of complications if not properly aligned or if there is insufficient space in the mouth. Our skilled surgeons carry out these extractions with precision and care, prioritizing patient comfort and recovery. By utilizing advanced imaging techniques, we assess each case individually to determine the best course of action.
For patients seeking a permanent solution to tooth loss, Dental Professionals of Fair Lawn offers dental implant surgery. Dental implants provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. This procedure involves the surgical insertion of a titanium post into the jawbone, onto which a custom-made crown is later attached. Our oral surgeons work closely with restorative dentists to ensure that every implant is perfectly matched to neighboring teeth, both in function and appearance.
Corrective jaw surgery, or orthognathic surgery, is performed to correct a wide range of skeletal and dental irregularities, including misalignment of jaws and teeth. Patients undergoing this surgery at Dental Professionals of Fair Lawn benefit from improved function, including enhanced chewing, speech, and breathing. Our oral surgeons collaborate with orthodontists to plan and execute these complex surgical procedures, ensuring outcomes that not only improve oral function but also facial aesthetics.
At Dental Professionals of Fair Lawn, patient care and comfort are at the heart of everything we do. From the initial consultation to post-surgical follow-up, our team is committed to providing personalized, compassionate care. We understand that the idea of oral surgery can be daunting for many, which is why we go above and beyond to ensure our patients are informed, comfortable, and at ease throughout their treatment process. Our state-of-the-art facilities and patient-centered approach make us a trusted choice for oral surgery in the Fair Lawn area.
