With our state-of-the-art facility and dedication to patient comfort, we are your trusted provider for surgical dental care in Cairo. Read on for an in-depth overview of our complete selection of oral surgery offerings.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
One of the most common oral surgery procedures we perform is wisdom tooth removal. Wisdom teeth that are impacted, misaligned, or problematic can cause severe pain, infections, dental damage, and other complications. We use advanced 3D imaging to carefully evaluate your wisdom teeth and determine if extraction is necessary. Our oral surgeons then perform wisdom tooth removal safely under anesthesia to minimize discomfort. We will thoroughly review aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants are an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile. During this surgical procedure, our oral surgeon will insert a titanium implant into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over several months through the process of osseointegration. Once fully integrated, we attach a custom-crafted crown to the implant for a complete tooth replacement with the look and function of a natural tooth. With proper care, dental implants can last for decades.
Endodontic Surgery: Root Canals and Apicoectomies
Root canal treatment can effectively rescue infected teeth by removing damaged pulp tissue in the tooth roots. However, in some cases root canal therapy may fail over time, causing persistent infections. Our endodontic specialists can perform root canal retreatment or apicoectomy surgery as needed. An apicoectomy involves surgically accessing the tooth root tip and removing any infected tissue. This allows us to save your natural tooth if root canal therapy was not fully successful.
Gum Grafting Surgery
Gum recession affects many adults to varying degrees. With receding gums, more tooth and root structure is exposed, creating sensitivity issues and an unattractive “gummy smile”. We offer gum grafting procedures to restore gum coverage and health. During surgery, we take graft tissue from the roof of the mouth or synthetic graft material to cover exposed roots. Proper gum graft healing can dramatically improve aesthetics and gum protection.
Tooth Extractions
Although we aim to save natural teeth whenever possible, some situations do require tooth extraction. Teeth that are severely decayed, fractured, or infected beyond repair may need extraction to prevent complications. Our oral surgeons use advanced techniques to perform tooth extractions with precision and care. We offer replacement tooth solutions like dental implants to restore your smile.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery, also called orthognathic surgery, realigns the jawbones to achieve proper bite alignment and facial balance. This complex surgery requires extensive 3D surgical planning to ensure optimal outcomes. Our skilled oral and maxillofacial surgeons use intraoral or extraoral incisions to reposition the jaws as planned. With refined techniques, we are able to dramatically improve bite function and facial aesthetics through precision jaw realignment.
Sinus Lift Surgery
Dental implants require sufficient jawbone height for support. In the upper back jaw, diminished bone volume is common due to the sinus cavity. We perform sinus augmentation, also known as sinus lift surgery, to increase bone volume through grafting. This provides the bone foundation needed for successful dental implant integration. Combining sinus lifts with implant placement allows for immediate tooth replacement.
Frenectomy
Oral restrictive tissue called a frenum may cause tongue mobility limitations or misalignment. Our surgeons can release this tissue through a simple frenectomy procedure, allowing for improved tongue function. Releasing lip ties in infants and children may also minimize speech impediments and orthodontic issues.
