About Dental Surgery and Advanced Dentistry Procedures
Advanced dental surgery has developed into a dentistry art-form that requires skills, equipment and knowledge unparalleled in general dentistry procedures. Here we discuss briefly some of the latest advanced dental surgery procedures. For a more detailed discussion of each procedure, click on the link to that page or the external resource.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgery is performed on patients who suffer from some sort of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Learn more about TMJ / TMD surgery here.
Sedation dentistry is performed on patients who are undergoing long, complicated dental surgery procedures, and/or patients who are afraid of the dentist. The patient is put to sleep prior to commencement of the procedure. Not all dentists are licensed to sedate / anesthetize their patients, so make sure that you see a sedation dentist if this is something you would like to try for your next visit to the dentist. Learn more about sedation dentistry here.
Cosmetic dentistry is a medical art-form that encompasses many different procedures, including crowns, porcelain veneers, tooth whitening, tooth implants and more. Each of these procedures are described here on our cosmetic dentistry page.
