Oral Surgery
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary for children to maintain a healthy mouth. Reasons for extractions may include extensive tooth decay, dental trauma, or overcrowding. At Lakeside Dental Surgery Center, our skilled surgeons follow a meticulous process, beginning with a thorough assessment of the child’s dental health. We use appropriate anesthesia to ensure the child’s comfort during the procedure, and our expert team carefully removes the affected tooth while preserving the surrounding tissue. This procedure can help prevent further damage, alleviate pain, and allow room for proper dental development.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are an ideal solution for children who have lost a permanent tooth due to injury or severe decay. They serve as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for a replacement tooth. Our highly trained specialists at Lakeside Dental Surgery Center will first evaluate the child’s oral health and jawbone structure to determine if implants are the best option. The implant is then surgically placed into the jawbone and allowed to heal. After the healing period, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, restoring the child’s smile and oral function.
Bone Grafts
Bone grafts are an excellent solution for patients who have lost bone density in their jaw due to gum disease, tooth loss, or injury. At Lakeside Dental Surgery Center, our skilled surgeons are experienced in performing bone grafting procedures to restore the jaw’s strength and integrity. This treatment not only supports dental implants but also improves overall oral health and function for our young patients.
The bone grafting process involves applying synthetic material to the weakened area of the jaw. This procedure stimulates bone growth and regeneration, allowing patients to recover lost bone density and providing a solid foundation for future dental treatments.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure for older children and teenagers as their third molars begin to emerge. These teeth can often cause pain, infection, or overcrowding, and may need to be removed for the child’s oral health. Our skilled surgeons at Lakeside Dental Surgery Center will perform a thorough evaluation of the child’s wisdom teeth and determine the best course of action. We prioritize patient comfort and safety during the extraction process, using the latest techniques and anesthesia options to ensure a smooth procedure.
At Lakeside Dental Surgery Center, we recognize that surgery can be a daunting experience for children and their parents. That’s why we go above and beyond to ensure that our young patients have a safe and comfortable procedure. Our team of specialists is always available to answer questions, talk children or parents through the process, and provide comprehensive recovery information.
We take pride in our highly trained and compassionate providers, who are committed to informing patients of everything they need to know and ensuring optimal results. Trust Lakeside Dental Surgery Center to provide the best possible care for your child’s oral health.
