Oral Surgery Treatments Our Mukilteo Dentists Offer
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants replace missing teeth by placing a small titanium post into the jawbone. Once healed, the implant serves as a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. Dental implants can improve chewing function, preserve bone, and restore confidence.
Bone Grafting
Bone loss can occur after tooth loss, advanced gum disease, or trauma. Bone grafting rebuilds weakened areas of the jaw and may be recommended before dental implant placement or other restorative procedures.
Sinus Lift Surgery
Patients missing upper back teeth may not have enough bone to support dental implants. A sinus lift creates additional space by gently raising the sinus membrane and adding bone to the upper jaw.
TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joints connect the jaw to the skull. When these joints become inflamed or dysfunctional, patients may experience headaches, jaw pain, facial discomfort, and difficulty chewing. A comprehensive evaluation can help identify contributing factors and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Airway Correction
Breathing problems can affect sleep quality, energy levels, and daily function. Airway-focused treatment evaluates how the jaw and surrounding structures affect breathing and may help identify structural concerns that contribute to restricted airflow.
Wisdom Teeth and Surgical Extractions
Wisdom teeth often become impacted because there isn't enough space for them to erupt properly. Surgical extractions may also be recommended for severely damaged teeth, teeth broken below the gumline, or teeth that cannot be restored through traditional treatment.
