Meeting Your Oral Health Needs
Oral Surgery Services in Cobourg
Our oral surgeons perform a variety of surgical procedures to help improve your oral health.
Oral surgery includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects of the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws. At Cobourg Oral Surgery, we offer a full range of oral surgery procedures including the following:
- Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root. Our oral surgeons will place a dental implant as part of the process to replace a missing tooth.
Together with a tooth replacement such as a crown or bridge, a dental implant looks and feels much like a natural tooth.
- Gum Grafts
A gum graft is a procedure where our oral surgeons take gum tissue from the roof of the mouth and transplant it onto another area of the gums.
A gum graft can help to repair receding gums, cover exposed tooth roots, and reduce associated symptoms such as severe tooth sensitivity or eventual tooth loss.
- Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
A bone graft is a procedure where our oral surgeons add bone tissue to your jaw bone to make it strong enough to support a dental implant.
A sinus lift is a type of bone graft where our oral surgeons adds bone material to the upper back jaw to raise and increase the amount of bone in the sinus area to place a dental implant.
- Oral Pathology
Signs of a pathologic or cancerous growth can occur on the lips, cheeks, palate and gum tissue surrounding the teeth, tongue, face or neck. At Cobourg Oral Surgery, our oral surgeons provide diagnoses and treatment of these oral conditions.
- Extractions & Wisdom Teeth
While it's always preferable to save a natural tooth, there are some cases where it is not possible. If a tooth is too badly damaged as a result of decay, gum disease or injury, it may need to be removed by our oral surgeons.
If your wisdom teeth are causing problems for your oral hygiene, our oral surgeons may also recommend removing them to help preserve your oral health.
- TMJ Disorder Treatment
TMJ Disorder can cause jaw pain, headaches and ringing in the ears. Our oral surgeons at Cobourg Oral Surgery can help diagnose the condition and identify treatment options. If your condition is severe, surgery or restorative dental work may help to correct the issue.
