Common reasons to see a oral surgeon in Jackson County, CO
Impacted wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth that are trapped beneath the gum or bone require surgical extraction. Oral surgeons perform these procedures regularly, often under IV sedation for comfort.
Dental implant surgery
Oral surgeons place dental implant posts and perform bone grafts when the jaw does not have enough volume to support an implant. They handle complex cases involving multiple missing teeth.
Jaw surgery (orthognathic)
Severe jaw misalignment that braces alone cannot correct may require surgery to reposition the upper or lower jaw. Oral surgeons work with orthodontists to plan and execute these procedures.
Facial trauma and fractures
Broken jaws, cheekbones, and eye sockets from accidents or injuries require surgical repair. Oral and maxillofacial surgeons specialize in reconstructing facial bones and soft tissue.
Oral pathology and biopsies
Unusual lumps, sores, or lesions in the mouth that do not heal need evaluation. Oral surgeons perform biopsies to determine whether growths are benign or require further treatment.
