What is Dental Oral Surgery?

Dental oral surgery is a specialized field within dentistry that focuses on surgical procedures that involving the teeth, gums, and jaw. Common procedures that fall under oral surgery are tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth; dental implants placement; treatment of gum disease; biopsies of tumors and cysts. These procedures are typically performed by an oral surgeon or a dentist with specialized training in surgery and can often be performed in a dental office under local anesthesia or sedation. Oral surgery can address functional issues, improve aesthetics, or prevent further health complications.

Oral Surgery Procedures

Here is more in depth look at the oral surgery treatments:

1. Tooth Extraction

Extractions can be necessary for many reasons, including extensive decay, advanced gum disease, trauma or injuries. In some cases, decayed or damaged teeth can be restored with fillings, onlays, crowns, or root canals; however, if the damage is too severe, the tooth may be beyond repair. In those cases, an extraction is necessary.

Our skilled doctors perform simple & surgical extractions with precision and care, ensuring a comfortable experience for our patients.

2. Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth are the last ones to emerge, at times causing crowding, leading to pain, infection, and damage. In addition, their location can make them hard to care for, thus causing development of the decay. Your dentist or oral surgeon may recommend their removal in such case.

Sometimes wisdom teeth get stuck in the bone or gums and never irrupt fully. These teeth are called impacted teeth. Impacted wisdom teeth don’t always need removal, but extraction is often advised if they cause issues.

If you think you may need your wisdom teeth pulled call us today to schedule your consolation appointment with our oral surgeons!

2. Bone Graft

For patients with bone loss or severe infection bone graft may be necessary to restore compromised bone, especially if dental implants will be needed in the future. Our team performs bone grafts to provide a solid foundation for dental implants.

3. Dental Implant & Same Day Dental Implant Placement

Dental implants are the best option to replace missing teeth because they mimic the function and appearance of natural teeth unlike removable dentures. Our practice offers extensive expertise in dental implant procedures, including same-day dental implant placement, single implant or full mouth implant supported dentures. Most people are good candidates for dental implant services.

4. Sinus Lift

Sinus lifts may be required prior to having a dental implant placement to ensure the upper jaw is able to support the implant or to add space between the upper jaw and the sinus so there’s ample room for the dental implant post.

5. Periodontal Surgical Procedure

Our board-certified periodontists specialize in periodontal surgeries to heal oral problems and to maintain the health of your gums and supporting structures.

• Osseous surgery is performed to address advanced gum disease. It involves lifting the gum tissue to access and reshape damaged bone around the teeth, promoting bone regeneration.
• Tissue graft, or gum grafting, is used to cover exposed tooth roots due to gum recession to improve gum line and prevent tooth sensitivity.

Both surgeries are part of comprehensive periodontal care plans and are recommended when non-surgical methods prove insufficient. Consultation with our board-certified periodontists will help you determine the most suitable surgical intervention based on individual health conditions.

Emergency Oral Surgeon in NYC

209 NYC dental offers same day emergency oral surgery for broken tooth, extraction and even same day implant placement for qualifying candidates. Our NYC Dental office is open Saturday and Sunday with early and late afternoon appointments available. Emergency appointments are available 7 days a week.

Dental Surgery Cost in NYC

In New York City, the cost of dental oral surgery can vary significantly based on the type of services, if services are performed by a general dentist vs oral and maxillofacial surgery doctor, and whether the doctor is in-network or out-of-network with your insurance. Insurance-participating dentists typically accept the insurance-contracted rate, meaning the cost to you is lower, as they have agreed to reduced fees with the insurance company. Conversely, out-of-network dentists set their own private fees, which are often higher.

For common dental surgeries, costs can range from approximately:

• Extraction: $250 to $600, depending on the complexity.
• Wisdom Tooth Removal: $500 to $1,200, with costs varying based on the extraction is simple or surgical.
• Dental Implants: $2,000 to $3,500 per implant, not including the crown.

These costs are rough estimates and can be influenced by the specifics of the case, the surgeon’s fees, and geographic location within the city, doctors’ specialty and expertise.

At 209 NYC Dental we do our best to provide reasonable fees to our patients. Some of our specialists participate with many PPO insurance plans. Call our office to learn more!

What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (OMS)?

Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS or OMFS) is a specialized branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects involving not only the mouth but also the entire facial region, jaw, and sometimes the neck. This field combines expertise in both medicine and dentistry, and is performed by highly trained oral surgeons with expertise in both dentistry and medical aspects of surgical procedures.

These procedures are typically completed by oral and maxillofacial surgeons. Here are some common types of OMS treatments:

• Complex extractions, like fully impacted wisdom teeth
• Orthognathic Surgery for Jaw Abnormalities: If your general dentist or orthodontist recommends it, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon realigns the jaws to improve function and appearance, for issues like misalignment, bite problems and facial asymmetry.
• Cleft Lip and Palate Repair for Congenital Conditions: This procedure fixes birth defects in the lip and palate to improve function, speech and appearance.
• Tumors and Cysts in the Face and Jaw: Surgical removal of benign or malignant growths in the face or jaw, often followed by reconstruction to restore appearance and function.
• Reconstructive Surgery: An oral and maxillofacial surgeon can restore facial form and function after jaw injuries, facial trauma, or disease, using bone grafts, skin grafts and other techniques.
• TMJ disorders affect the lower jaw joint (temporomandibular joint), causing ache, dysfunction and limited movement. An oral and maxillofacial surgeon can perform surgical treatments like arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, open joint surgery or total joint replacement. These procedures aim to restore normal jaw function when non-surgical treatments fail.
• Obstructive Sleep Apnea: Surgeons can perform surgery to remove or reposition tissues in the throat and airway for severe cases that can’t be managed otherwise.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Vs Oral Surgery

• Complexity: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is more complex and invasive, often requires general anesthesia, hospitalization and multidisciplinary care. This specialty can address functional and aesthetic issues not only in the oral cavity but throughout the entire facial structure.
• Training: Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons go through extensive education and training, dental school and 4-6 years of residency in medical, dental and surgical disciplines. Many also get a medical degree (MD) on top of their dental degree (DDS or DMD).
• The big difference is while all Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is under oral surgery, not all oral surgery is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery.

Anesthesia Options for Oral Surgery

Sedation options for oral surgery are designed to help you feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. The type of sedation used depends on the complexity of the surgery, your anxiety level and medical history. Here are the options:

1. Local Anesthesia: Numbs the area where the surgery is being performed so you feel no pain. You’re fully awake but may feel pressure or movement.
2. Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative inhaled through a mask to help you relax while staying conscious. It wears off quickly so you can resume normal activities shortly after the procedure.
3. Oral Sedation: Taking a pill before the surgery to reduce anxiety. It can range from mild to moderate sedation making you drowsy but still conscious.
4. IV Sedation: Administered through a vein, this sedation method provides a deeper level of relaxation. You’re awake but in a deeply relaxed state and may not remember much of the procedure.
5. General Anesthesia: Used for more complex or longer surgeries, this method puts you to sleep so you’re completely unconscious and unaware during the procedure. This option is usually used in a hospital or surgical center and requires a longer recovery time.

Each option is carefully chosen by our 209 NYC oral surgeon based on the patient’s needs and the nature of the treatment, ensuring safety and comfort throughout the it.
