If you’re experiencing swelling, a toothache, a broken tooth, or any other dental issue, please reach out to us using the numbers provided below. If it’s outside our regular office hours, you can email us at the addresses listed, and a member of our team will promptly respond. We frequently offer same-day appointments and will strive to accommodate you at the earliest opportunity.
Impacted Teeth
When teeth, especially upper canines, become impacted, they may not properly emerge, affecting both appearance and bite function. This often occurs around the age of 13 when there isn’t enough space for them to emerge naturally. Orthodontic treatment becomes necessary to address impacted canine teeth, employing techniques to guide them into their correct positions within the dental arch.
Dental Implant
Dental implants offer a solution that is both natural-looking and exceptionally functional for addressing missing teeth. The implant, a small post replacing the tooth root, supports a crown or bridge fixture securely attached above it. This results in a non-removable system that restores your ability to chew and smile with confidence.
Bone Reconstruction
Following the loss of a tooth, the bone at the extraction site undergoes a natural process of atrophy, where it gradually diminishes in volume. This bone resorption can vary in extent, and in cases where significant loss occurs, additional procedures may be necessary during the introduction of dental implants. These supplementary steps are aimed at augmenting the bone structure to provide adequate support for the implants and ensure the long-term success and stability of the treatment.
Office Based Anesthesia
Intravenous sedation (IV) is administered during dental surgery to calm the patient and alleviate anxiety. It supplements local anesthesia by delivering pain relievers and sedatives intravenously while ensuring continuous patient monitoring. IV sedation induces a state of reduced consciousness, eliminating the need for general anesthesia, thus enhancing safety. It provides pain relief, reduces stress and anxiety, and may cause short-term memory loss, ensuring a more comfortable experience for the patient.
Wisdom Teeth
Most people have four wisdom teeth, although some people have none at all. Frequently, there is not enough space at the rear of the jaws for wisdom teeth to erupt easily through the gums. If the jaw does not allow enough room for the wisdom tooth to come through, the tooth will become crammed or “impacted.” If one or more of your wisdom teeth become problematic, your oral and maxillofacial surgeon may recommend that they be removed.
Apicoectomy
Apicoectomy, also known as root apex resection, is a surgical procedure that entails removing the tip of the tooth root (apex) and thoroughly cleaning the surrounding bone to eliminate any lesions and inflammations. This intervention is required when canal re-treatment is not possible or when periapical changes persist despite such treatment efforts.
Surgical Extraction
Surgical tooth extraction, commonly known as “tooth pulling,” involves removing a tooth from its socket. This procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, sometimes with sedation for multiple extractions. Special cases like impacted or severely broken teeth may require surgical intervention. Surgical instruments are used to expose and extract the tooth, with stitches applied afterward. Stitches are usually removed within 7-14 days post-treatment.
Biopsy/Cyst
An odontogenic cyst is a pathological condition frequently found in the bone tissue of the maxilla or mandible, sometimes extending into soft tissues or the maxillary sinuses. It typically results from chronic inflammation of periapical tissues surrounding a tooth, often linked to tooth decay. Examples include dentigerous cysts (also known as follicular) and odontogenic keratocysts. Initially symptomless, these cysts develop slowly and, as they advance, may damage surrounding tissues.
TMJ
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorder occurs when there are issues with the muscles and jaw joint, leading to pain, discomfort, and difficulty with jaw movement. Oral Surgery Specialists of New York can provide specialized care and treatment options for TMJ disorders, offering solutions to alleviate pain and improve jaw function.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a minor surgical procedure aimed at removing or modifying the frenulum, a small fold of tissue that connects the lips, tongue, or cheeks to the surrounding structures in the mouth. This procedure is often performed to address issues such as restricted movement of the tongue (ankyloglossia or “tongue-tie”) or to improve the fit of dentures. Oral Surgery Specialists of New York offer expert care and surgical solutions for frenectomies, helping patients achieve improved oral function and comfort.
Facial Trauma
Facial trauma affecting the jaw involves injuries to the lower or upper jawbone, often resulting from accidents, sports mishaps, or physical altercations. These injuries can lead to fractures, dislocations, or soft tissue damage, causing pain, swelling, and difficulty with chewing or speaking. Oral Surgery Specialists of New York are experts in treating jaw trauma, offering advanced surgical interventions to repair fractures, realign dislocations, and restore normal jaw function and aesthetics for patients.
