If you need oral surgery in Portland, you deserve care that considers and supports the broader picture of your overall well-being. Contact Bridgetown Dental today to schedule your consultation.
Oral surgery is when an element of dental care cannot be achieved using dental fillings, dental crowns, dental root canals, or other, more minimally-invasive treatments. This dental treatment may be suggested when a particular need arises including when a: particular problem affects a particular tooth in too great a way.
There exists a dental infection which has spread too widely. A dental filling, crown, or dental root canal is not an available choice. Dental wisdom teeth provide discomfort or have spread, influencing the alignment of the other dental issues. There is swelling to account for at any time of tooth emergence. Damage has arisen to the teeth around an affected area.
The dental issue presents difficulties in terms of accessibility for thorough cleaning. It’s not always about the extraction of a tooth or the correction of such by an arrangement which does not regard a continuing level of personal oral well-being.
If you have an upcoming oral surgery and are nervous about it, a few minutes reading below to find out what will happen.
The tooth or oral concern is examined to understand what treatment is needed; you are able to tell your doctor about your concerns and treatment expectations.
Dr. Kaady discusses treatment to determine whether your tooth can be saved, or will need to be removed, or any other surgical care that is applicable to your needs.
Before treatment is performed, a member of your care team discusses local anesthesia options, and additional comfort care options you may request for sedation if you would like further support.
The area of oral concern is thoroughly numbed and Dr. Kaady proceeds, while taking extreme care to employ techniques which enable effective and gentle treatment to take place.
Here at Bridgetown Dental we have two methods of sedation to help make our patients feel more comfortable and relaxed during their dental procedure.
Inhaled sedation A low-level sedation which may be administered via a small mask in your mouth is called ‘laughing gas’. This sedates you to the level where you will remain aware but it will allow you to relax and experience treatment comfortably. This is known as a mild sedation and it has no lasting effects.
For patients who need deeper relaxation, Dr. Kaady may prescribe an FDA-approved medication to be taken before the appointment. You remain conscious but can feel profoundly relaxed during treatment.
