Tooth extraction
It is a painless procedure of removing a tooth or root from its bony socket with minimal trauma. Severely decayed or damaged teeth that are beyond help or advanced gum disease or impacted teeth especially wisdom teeth or baby teeth that don’t fall out in time are extracted painlessly in our clinic.
Impacted teeth extraction
They are the teeth that fail to erupt through the gums or jawbone, most commonly wisdom teeth. These teeth usually erupt in late teens or mid-twenties in the back of the mouth and can cause pain, swelling, infection or crowding due to not enough space for it to erupt which leads to gum diseases or damaged to adjacent tooth.
Impacted teeth removal can be simple or may include gum incision and bone removal that obstructs the access to the tooth.
TMJ disorders
TMJ (Temporo Mandibular Joint) disorders refer to disorders affecting the joint connecting the lower jaw to the skull bone. When this joint is malaligned, it may cause pain, clicking sounds, difficulty in mouth opening, jaw stiffness and headaches. These disorders are caused by stress, bruxism, arthritis or injury to the jaw. TMJ surgery helps to restore the function of the jaw such as chewing, yawning and speech.
