I have a broken tooth. Will dental surgery help?

It’s possible. Dental surgery refers to a variety of procedures that correct damage or disease affecting your teeth, gums, tongue, or other oral structures. It includes various treatments, including extractions, gum grafts, and dental implant placement.

When are dental surgeries necessary?

The Club Atlantis Dental team uses dental surgeries to correct a variety of issues, including:

• Bone loss 
• Gum disease
• Extensive tooth decay
• Badly broken teeth
• Missing teeth
• Impacted teeth
• Benign oral pathology (abnormal growths)
• Sleep apnea and snoring

You might benefit from dental surgery if you need implants. During dental implant placement, your provider inserts metal screws into one (or multiple) empty tooth sockets.

What are some common dental surgeries?

The Club Atlantis Dental team offers various dental surgeries, including:

Tooth extraction

A tooth extraction removes a permanent tooth from its socket. You might need extractions if you have severe gum disease, deep cavities, or wisdom teeth complications. 

Dental implant placement

Dental implant placement is an oral surgery that replaces your natural tooth roots with small metal screws. The screws fuse with your jaw, providing a base for crowns, bridges, or implant-anchored dentures.

Dental bone graft

If you’ve lost bone tissue due to gum disease or infection, you might need a dental bone graft. During this surgery, your Club Atlantis Dental provider inserts a small piece of synthetic or natural bone into your jaw or alveolar bone. The graft creates new bone tissue, restoring bone volume and density.

Root canal therapy

Root canal therapy repairs a severely decaying or damaged tooth. Your Club Atlantis Dental provider removes your tooth pulp and replaces it with a soft material called gutta-percha. After the gutta-percha dries, your dentist covers your tooth with a crown, restoring its size and appearance.

Dental gum graft surgery

Your Club Atlantis Dental provider recommends gum graft surgery if you have receding gums or severe gum disease. During this surgery, your dentist removes a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth and stitches it over your receding gum tissue. The graft increases circulation to the area and promotes healthy gum tissue regrowth.

The Club Atlantis Dental team performs dental surgeries in the office, ensuring convenience and comfort.
