Sedation Dentistry for Oral Surgeries
Our dental office in Riverview, FL, offers a comprehensive list of oral surgeries designed with your comfort in mind while providing safe and advanced sedation dentistry services to make these procedures as comfortable as possible. This is especially beneficial for the one with dental anxiety or those undergoing lengthy procedures. Dr. Byars assesses your medical history during your surgical consultation to determine your safest and most effective sedation level.
Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants consist of a surgically placed post (tooth root) in the jawbone and a (tooth crown) attached to the post with an abutment. If you're missing teeth, Dr. Matthew Byars specializes in permanent tooth restoration using dental implants. These implants offer long-lasting and natural-looking results by using titanium posts implanted in the jawbone, allowing for the attachment of luminous crowns. They require no dietary restrictions and are built to last a lifetime.
At Smile 360 Family & Implant Dentistry, we offer the following dental implant systems:
- Single Dental Implants
- All-on-4® Dental Implants
- Implant-Retained Dentures
Bone Grafting
Periodontal disease can damage the jawbone and make it challenging to support a dental implant without specialized treatment. If you're suffering from this condition, Dr. Byars may recommend (natural bone regeneration) to promote bone growth in the jaw. Bone grafts are crucial in cases of severe periodontal disease, where bacteria cause progressive deterioration of the jawbone and periodontal ligaments connecting the tooth to the bone.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift allows the placement of a dental implant in areas with insufficient bone. This surgery may be necessary for missing molars in your upper arch. A sinus lift raises the sinus floor to its original position, creating space for dental implant placement. Dr. Byars places the gravis between the maxillary sinuses to treat insufficient upper jaw bone height, ensuring successful dental implant placement. Sinus lift surgery provides excellent stability for dental implants using a bone graft.
Ridge Augmentation
After removing a tooth, an empty socket is left in the alveolar ridge bone. Typically, this area heals independently, filling in with bone and tissue. However, the socket's height and width continue deteriorating without the natural tooth root stimulating the underlying bone. After tooth extraction, ridge augmentation involves placing a bone graft directly into the empty socket. Ridge augmentation benefits overall smile health, appearance, and confidence by recreating a natal bone and gum ridge, improving aesthetics, increasing stability for long-term function, and reducing gaps between gums and dental restorations.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions may be necessary, including emergency procedures after trauma or injury or to prevent future problems like wisdom teeth removal. Dr. Byars performs extractions for patients experiencing pain, discomfort, or infections caused by a tooth damaged beyond repair. In some cases, surgical extraction is required, but a simple extraction is performed if the tooth appears above the gum line. Before any extraction, Dr. Byars performs a dental exam along with digital x-rays to determine the extent of the damage.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Dr. Byars uses advanced diagnostic tools to determine the healthiest time for this procedure. Although not everyone needs their wisdom teeth pulled, it can cause pain, orthodontic problems, and severe infections in those who do. At Smile 360, we perform various types of wisdom tooth removal surgeries, including those on impacted wisdom teeth. Wisdom teeth are located near nerves, sinus cavities, and other teeth, requiring a skilled expert for their removal, all while emphasizing patient comfort and safety.
Root Canal Therapy
If you're dealing with a toothache, abscess, or dental infection, Dr. Byars can treat a root canal to save your tooth. This procedure involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the inside of the tooth, and sealing it to prevent further infection. Root canals help alleviate pain and preserve your natural tooth.
