Oral surgery plays a crucial role in treating complex dental concerns that go beyond routine care. Whether you need tooth extractions, bone grafting or other surgical procedures, expert care ensures a safe and comfortable experience. Dr. Shilpa Koneru provides professional oral surgery services to restore function, relieve discomfort and improve overall oral health.

When is Oral Surgery Necessary?

Oral surgery is recommended when non-surgical treatments are not enough to address certain dental issues. Some common reasons for oral surgery include:

  • Impacted Teeth: When wisdom teeth or other teeth do not emerge properly, removal may be necessary.
  • Severe Tooth Damage: If a tooth cannot be saved with a filling or crown, extraction may be the best option.
  • Jawbone Loss: Bone grafting helps strengthen the jaw for future dental restorations.
  • Oral Infections: Surgery can remove infections that could spread to other areas of the mouth or body.
