Enhance Your Oral Function and Comfort with Oral Surgery Services
Epic Smiles of Conroe prioritizes a conservative approach to dental care. However, sometimes oral surgery may be necessary to restore oral function and comfort. From extractions to implant surgery, we are dedicated to restoring your smile with precision and care. Visit our office in Conroe, Texas, and let’s help you achieve a fully functional smile.
What are the different types of oral surgery?
Epic Smiles of Conroe is equipped to handle several oral surgical procedures. Some include:
- Implant surgery: Have you lost one or multiple teeth? Discover the permanent solution for missing teeth with dental implants. To place a dental implant, the dentist surgically places a titanium fixture at a pre-determined location in the jawbone. Precision is needed to ensure your new tooth provides maximum alignment and function. Unlike other teeth replacement options, dental implants offer root-level stability to ensure your teeth don’t move or slip when eating or speaking.
- Dental extractions: No one likes them, but extractions may be necessary for impacted or severely damaged teeth. Tooth removal sounds intimidating, but modern techniques ensure dental extractions are more comfortable and predictable than ever.
- Jaw surgery: Our office provides bite correction services to ensure you maintain an optimal bite for enhanced function and comfort. We can address most bite issues with orthodontics, dental restorations, and other conservative treatments. However, severe bite issues may need correction with jaw (orthognathic) surgery.
What are the benefits of oral surgery?
Don’t let dental issues hold you back. At our Conroe, Texas, office, oral surgery can help restore function, relieve discomfort, and renew your confidence. Discover the benefits of oral surgery and how it can transform your oral health:
- Enhanced oral function: Restoring missing teeth and correcting dental issues restores your ability to chew and speak without limitations.
- Better aesthetics: It’s not just about function. Addressing missing and damaged teeth can enhance how you look.
- Enhanced comfort: Damaged or infected teeth can be painful. Chew and speak again without pain and discomfort.
- Protect against further damage: Untreated dental conditions often lead to a cascade of other health concerns. Oral surgery restores oral health and prevents further complications.
What are the aftercare tips for oral surgery?
Epic Smiles of Conroe is committed to prioritizing your comfort during and after surgery. Here are post-op tips to ensure an event-free recovery.
- Manage bleeding: It’s normal to experience mild bleeding for the first 24 hours. Bite gently on gauze pads and replace them as directed. Avoid spitting or using straws, as this can dislodge the blood clot.
- Control swelling: Apply an ice pack to the affected area in 15–20 minute intervals during the first 24–48 hours.
- Rest: Give your body time to heal. Avoid strenuous activities for at least 24–48 hours after surgery to maximize healing.
- Watch your diet: Stick to soft foods like yogurt, mashed potatoes, smoothies, or applesauce for the first few days. Avoid hot, crunchy, spicy, or acidic foods that may irritate the area.
- Keep your mouth clean: Resume gentle brushing the day after surgery, avoiding the surgical site. Rinse your mouth with warm salt water (but not vigorously) to keep the area clean.
