What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery involves surgical procedures targeting the teeth, roots, gums, and surrounding structures. These treatments are often recommended when standard dental care is not enough to resolve deep infections, fractures, or other complex dental issues.
You may need oral surgery if you experience:
- Persistent tooth or gum pain that does not respond to routine treatment
- A cracked or fractured tooth that extends below the gum line
- A failed root canal or ongoing infection in a previously treated tooth
- Swelling, abscess formation, or signs of a deep-rooted infection
- Facial trauma that has damaged the tooth or surrounding bone
At River Valley Endodontics, we focus on preserving your natural teeth whenever possible, using advanced surgical techniques to ensure the best outcomes.
