When you have facial trauma, or issues with the growth and development of your smile, then this could cause complications with your oral health and facial esthetics. To correct these concerns, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons could recommend orthognathic surgery.
The Reasons to Undergo Corrective Jaw Surgery
There could be a number of different reasons to undergo this procedure. For example, issues with the growth of the jaws could impact how well you can eat or speak, and abnormal growths could further impact these complications. In addition, the strain on your smile and imbalance in the bite could make the onset of TMJ disorder and bruxism (teeth grinding) more likely. We also address issues caused by facial trauma or tooth loss. We could work with your general dentist and orthodontist as needed, making sure your care before and after surgery is seamless. When we complete the jaw surgery, this can not only improve health and function, but also offer esthetic benefits as well. Following the surgery, an orthodontist may fine tune your smile with braces or aligners for the months to come. We’re happy to offer our patients stunning results with our orthognathic surgery.
Comfort with Dental Sedation
We know that some people feel anxious about undergoing treatment, and we want you to know that we strove to ensure everyone is calm and comfortable throughout the process. For example, we will also numb the areas receiving treatment with a local anesthetic. But we also have dental sedation. With nitrous oxide, or oral and IV sedation, we can help you enter a calm and relaxed state, with little to no memory of the procedure at all. This will ensure a comfortable experience, and will provide detailed aftercare instructions to facilitate a complication-free healing period. There may also be follow-up visits.
Dental Implant Placement and More
As part of your corrective surgery, we could rebuild portions of your smile using jawbone grafting or sinus lifts. To address missing teeth, we could use dental implants, as these look and act like natural teeth. We also have bracketing to address impacted teeth, and may be able to extract teeth that complicate your treatment.
If you have any questions about these treatments, or if you would like to schedule a consultation today, then contact our team. We look forward to helping you enjoy a comfortable, functional, and beautiful smile once again!
