Dento-alveolar Surgery: Teeth, Gums, and Jawbone

Common Conditions Treated by Dento-alveolar Surgery

Dento-alveolar surgery covers a wide range of procedures, including:

• Impacted Teeth: Teeth that are trapped beneath the gum or jawbone and cannot erupt properly.
• Oral Infections: Severe dental infections that affect the gums, bone, or surrounding structures.
• Oral Pathologies: Treatment of cysts, tumors, or other abnormalities within the oral cavity.
