Severe dental pain and discomfort can be indicative of an issue that requires minor surgery to fix. For example, wisdom teeth pain or infection may necessitate wisdom teeth extraction. Alternatively, the presence of an agonising toothache may call for a root canal treatment. At Bundoora Family Dental Clinic, we have a team of experienced dentists who can provide minor dental surgery that meets your needs. We use advanced technology and cutting-edge equipment to carry out procedures safely and effectively. This blog post takes a closer look at the minor dental surgery options we offer at our clinic.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth don’t always emerge properly and can become trapped or impacted within the gum. This can cause pain, swelling and infection of the gum, which can lead to permanent damage. In these situations, surgical removal of the wisdom teeth may be necessary. Our dentists can extract impacted wisdom teeth, applying local anaesthetic to numb the area and minimise discomfort.
Dental Implants
When one or more teeth has been lost due to an accident or infection, they can be replaced with dental implants. An alternative to dentures and bridges, dental implants are metal posts that are surgically anchored in the jawbone and act as a stable frame for new artificial teeth. This can restore the appearance and functionality of the teeth as well as prevent issues from developing in the future.
Root Canal Treatment
If a tooth is severely decayed or infected, you may need a root canal. This minor dental surgery involves removing the infected tooth pulp and sealing off the tooth, preventing tooth loss, jawbone degeneration and infection of neighbouring teeth.
