Oral surgery is a broad specialty that covers a range of conditions affecting the face, mouth and jaw. Sometimes, it is necessary to prepare for implants. Sometimes, it is needed to repair trauma after an accident or injury. At others times it is required to correct problems that are affecting a patient’s ability to chew, speak, or even breathe. Dr. Jugan has extensive experience with all of these instances and more.
Wisdom tooth extraction is one of the most common extraction procedures performed at the Desert Maxillofacial Center but tooth extractions may be needed for many other reasons, including extensive decay, advanced periodontal disease, or damage that cannot be repaired. At other times, extraction is needed due to impaction, crowding and poor positioning, or as preparation for orthodontic treatment.
After an extraction or tooth loss, it is common for a patient to require an implant. Implants are different from bridges, dentures, or prosthetics as they are individually placed using titanium screws and crowns. The end result is a highly realistic looking tooth that restores form and function of the teeth and mouth. Implants look, act, and feel just like real teeth. Placement of implants requires a significant amount of expertise.
