While most dental issues can be addressed by a general dentist, some situations require the advanced training and skill sets of oral surgeons. These dentists specialize in a variety of dental fields and can perform complex procedures that include certain types of tooth extractions, surgeries of the jaw and soft tissues of the gums, and other complicated treatments. At Greater Maryland Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we work with you at every step of the treatment process to ensure that you receive the treatment you need in Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Frederick. Our staff can provide you with the guidance and support you need when it comes to oral surgery. 

General Dentistry and Oral Surgery

 Simple extractions, crowns, veneers, bridges, and routine examinations are available from general dentists and can provide you with good basic care for your teeth. In some cases, however, you may need the services of one of our oral surgeons to manage complicated procedures, difficult extractions, and the placement of dental implants for you or your family members. Our team can give you all the relevant information you need to help you choose the best possible options for your treatment needs. We will ensure that you receive the correct treatment regimen for your own unique dental requirements.

When Should You See an Oral Surgeon?

Our dentists will work with you and your family to make sure your care in Greater Maryland Oral Surgery & Dental Implants is as affordable and effective as possible. In general, you will need an oral surgeon for dental implants, certain treatments for sleep apnea, dental procedures that require outpatient anesthesia, some surgeries of the jaw, and complicated or difficult tooth extraction procedures. Here are some things you should know about our oral surgery services in Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Frederick.

Dental Implants

The oral surgeons at Greater Maryland Oral Surgery & Dental Implants can provide you with dental implants that can serve as secure attachment points for dental appliances. Implants can be used to attach individual artificial teeth, several teeth in a bridge or an entire row of teeth for upper or lower dentures. By entrusting your dental implant procedures to our oral surgeons, you can enjoy attractive replacements for missing teeth. This can add up to an improved appearance and increased confidence in your interactions with others at work, at school, at home, or at play.

Sleep Apnea Surgeries

Sleep apnea is a condition that causes affected individuals to stop breathing during sleep. These interruptions in breathing can cause several issues, including sleep deprivation, fatigue, irritability, increased risk of high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes, and issues with liver function. In severe cases, you may need oral surgery by one of our team to correct issues that can contribute to your sleep apnea and to enjoy a better night’s sleep now and in the future.

Anesthesia for Outpatient Procedures

If you need to receive anesthesia for extremely long or difficult procedures or because of severe anxiety, Greater Maryland Oral Surgery & Dental Implants may recommend the services of an oral surgeon to make sure that your procedure is as painless and positive as possible. Our oral surgery team provides anesthesia for wisdom teeth removals and other complex procedures. This can help you to feel much more confident and relaxed about your treatment in our office in Gaithersburg, Silver Spring, and Frederick.

Jaw Surgery

Misalignments or other issues with the jaw can often result in pain and discomfort for patients in our office. At Greater Maryland Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we have practical options for surgically correcting these issues. We work with you to make sure your oral surgery procedure goes smoothly and according to plan, which can help you to manage your dental care much more effectively now and in the future.

Complex Tooth Extractions

Some of the most common types of complex extractions involve wisdom teeth, which come in sometime in late adolescence or early adulthood. These teeth often push on adjacent teeth because of limited room in the jaw. Our oral surgeons can remove these teeth while minimizing damage to the teeth next to them, which can allow you to enjoy better dental health and a more beautiful smile now and in the future.

Teeth that have been severely damaged by tooth decay may also need the services of one of the oral surgeons at Greater Maryland Oral Surgery & Dental Implants. Our team is ready to provide oral surgery options that will resolve these issues quickly and effectively.
