What we do.

At Oral Surgery +, we specialize in performing wisdom teeth extractions with efficiency and expertise. Our well-structured approach and advanced training allow our team of surgeons and nurses to handle significantly more wisdom teeth removals daily than a single surgeon typically could.

How.

Our oral surgery procedures are carefully planned and executed to ensure the best possible outcomes. The process begins with an initial consultation, where we assess your medical history and specific needs. Using state-of-the-art imaging technology, such as X-rays and 3D scans, we precisely map out your treatment plan.

On the day of surgery, anesthesia is administered to maximize comfort. The surgeon makes a small incision in the gum tissue to access the tooth and surrounding bone. In some cases, the tooth is sectioned into smaller pieces to facilitate a smooth extraction. Once removed, the area is thoroughly cleaned, and stitches are placed as needed.

After surgery, we provide clear instructions for managing pain, reducing swelling, and ensuring proper healing. Follow-up visits help monitor recovery and address any additional concerns. Our comprehensive process ensures a safe, smooth, and effective surgical experience.

Why.

Oral surgery is essential for addressing complex dental issues that go beyond routine dental care. Here’s why surgical intervention may be necessary:

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal: Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infections, and damage to nearby teeth. Extraction helps prevent these issues.
  • Corrective Jaw Surgery: Jaw misalignment can affect chewing, speech, and breathing. Surgical correction enhances function and facial balance.
  • Treatment of Oral Diseases: Conditions such as cysts, tumors, and serious infections may require surgical intervention to prevent complications.
  • Chronic Pain Relief: Disorders like TMJ and severe gum disease may require surgery to alleviate pain and improve overall well-being.

At Oral Surgery + of Cenla and Wisdom Teeth of Louisiana, our specialized expertise and advanced techniques ensure safe, effective, and comfortable oral surgery care.
