Our dentists and specialists perform a variety of oral surgery procedures to treat dental issues and help preserve the oral health of patients at Walden Dental Wellness in Calgary.
Contact UsWhat is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery focuses on diagnosing and surgically treating conditions that affect the mouth, teeth, jaws, and surrounding facial structures. These procedures can address a wide range of issues, from impacted or damaged teeth to jaw misalignment, bone loss, or infections that affect oral function and comfort.
Your dentist will always recommend the least invasive treatment options possible. However, in some cases, oral surgery may be the most effective way to restore your oral health.
You might need oral surgery if a tooth is severely damaged or impacted, your gums are receded or infected, if you require a dental implant, or if there are problems affecting your jaw joint or bone structure.
Once your dentist has assessed your case, they may refer you to our specialists. We will plan your treatment based on your needs and ensure you understand every step of the process so you can move forward with confidence.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root. It’s placed into the jawbone to provide a stable foundation for a replacement tooth. When paired with a restoration such as a crown or bridge, a dental implant can look, feel, and function almost exactly like a natural tooth, helping you regain both your smile and confidence.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to emerge, usually appearing in the late teens or early adulthood. In some cases, there isn’t enough room for them to come in properly, which can lead to crowding, discomfort, or difficulty keeping the area clean. If your wisdom teeth are causing pain or affecting your oral health, your dentist may recommend removing them to help protect the surrounding teeth and gums.
