The goal of a bone graft is to repair or rebuild bones by transplanting healthy bone tissue from other sources. This helps enhance bone volume and density, and create a suitable foundation for dental implants or other restorative procedures.

If Indiana Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery recommends a bone graft before your dental implant placement, don’t fret! The procedure is both painless and predictable. Questions? Learn more on our website: https://www.iomsa.com/ or call our office: (317) 913-2363.

Third molars, or wisdom teeth, typically start to emerge in your late teens or early twenties. While some people may have wisdom teeth that emerge without any issues, others may experience pain, crowding, or even infections due to lack of space in the mouth.

Indiana Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery recommends removing wisdom teeth to prevent potential problems like impaction, decay, and shifting of other teeth.

If you're experiencing discomfort or notice changes in your mouth as your wisdom teeth come in, don't hesitate to schedule your consultation with our doctors!

Should you postpone your wisdom teeth removal? Having your wisdom teeth removed as a teen has several advantages:

- Easier Recovery: Younger individuals often experience a smoother and quicker recovery from wisdom teeth extraction compared to adults. The jawbone is less dense, and the roots of the teeth may not be fully formed, making the extraction process less complicated.
- Prevention of Complications: Removing wisdom teeth early can help prevent potential complications such as impaction, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth. It reduces the risk of infection or cyst formation around the impacted wisdom teeth.
- Orthodontic Considerations: Wisdom teeth can exert pressure on surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment. Removing them can help preserve the results of orthodontic treatments and maintain proper teeth alignment.
- Reduced Discomfort: Wisdom teeth can cause pain, swelling, and discomfort, especially if they are impacted or growing in at an awkward angle. Early removal can alleviate these symptoms and prevent further dental issues.

In short, having your wisdom teeth removed as soon as they emerge is the way to go! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you have.

Let’s talk about osseointegration, one of the most important processes involved in dental implant surgery treatment. After the initial dental implant is placed, the jawbone heals around the implant, securing it firmly in place. This happens over several weeks to months and is called osseointegration. This process is crucial for the stability and success of the dental implant. Choosing a qualified and experienced oral surgeon to perform your implant placement increases the likelihood of precise placement and successful osseointegration!

How does bone grafting work? A bone graft helps rebuild and regenerate the lost bone in your jaw, creating a stable foundation for the implant. Bone grafting procedures typically involve placing bone graft material, which can be sourced from your own body, a donor, or synthetic materials, into the deficient area. Over time, the graft material integrates with the existing bone, promoting regeneration and providing a stable foundation for successful dental implant placement. 🦷

Let's explore the structure of a dental implant:
- Titanium implant: surgically fused with the jawbone
- Abutment: fitted portion that protrudes from your gum line
- Crown: fitted onto the abutment for a natural appearance

What makes our team at Indiana Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery oral surgery experts? After completing dental school, oral and maxillofacial surgeons undergo a rigorous four to six additional years of surgical training in a hospital-based residency program. This makes an oral surgeon the true surgical specialist of the dental field. While some dentists can perform minor oral surgeries, they are not oral surgeons. Only oral and maxillofacial surgeons are able to perform advanced surgeries that can encompass the entire maxillofacial region.

Missing teeth could lead to any of these problems. If you have one or more missing teeth, reach out to our team at Indiana Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery to find out more about dental implants and to schedule your consultation!

An oral pathology exam at Indiana Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery is a critical step in early detection and management of oral diseases, including oral cancers.

If we find any suspicious lesion or abnormality during your exam, a biopsy may be recommended. During a biopsy, we take a small sample and send it to a pathology laboratory, where it undergoes thorough microscopic examination. Pathologists analyze the cells and tissues to determine whether the lesion is benign, malignant, or indicative of a specific condition.

Regular dental check-ups and prompt evaluation of any unusual symptoms or lesions are crucial for maintaining optimal oral health. Set up your appointment today: (317) 913-2363.
