Are you in need of oral surgery?
While the word “surgery” may sound like an intimidating prospect, oral surgery remains one of the most common procedures performed daily in the United States. Dental procedures that you might not necessarily consider as surgery fall under this category, including tooth extraction and dental crown placement. Many can be completed within a single visit and allow you to resume normal activities the next day. If you’re worried about your oral surgery, it’s important to schedule a consultation with a qualified dental professional to learn what to expect in advance of the procedure.
What’s most important when seeking an oral surgeon? If you’re unsure of what your procedure entails or if it’s your first surgical procedure, discussing your treatment plan with your provider will help you feel more comfortable.
Whether you need routine surgery (such as wisdom teeth extraction) or an in-depth reconstructive surgery (such as dental implants), Penn Dental Family Practice provides the highest level of quality care. We are able to offer the best in oral surgery because we focus on these three priorities: the use of quality materials, advanced dental technologies, and highly-respected dentists.
Dental materials are specially manufactured for use in dental procedures. There are different types of material and they display a range of characteristics, depending on their specific function. Examples include dental restorations such as fillings, crowns, and bridges, endodontic materials, prosthetic materials, and dental implants.
At Penn Dental Family Practice, we only use the highest-quality products when performing oral surgery. We know that the difference between average and excellent materials makes the difference for a long-lasting treatment solution. That’s why we provide patients with only the very best products from the field: so that you can go home with the assurance that your oral surgery was done right. Using quality materials is a priority to ensure that your treatment has the best chance of standing the test of time.
When you choose Penn Dental Family Practice for your procedure, you’ll benefit from the best in dental technology. Because oral surgery requires a high degree of precision and accuracy, it is important to choose a provider that uses advanced dental technologies. Our iTero intraoral scanner, for example, is a revolutionary piece of dental equipment that offers enhanced digital scanning. The iTero scans the mouths of patients, allowing it to capture three-dimensional images in a matter of minutes. The images they produce are more detailed and sophisticated than those offered by the traditional two-dimensional approach.
In combination with our computer-aided manufacturing and computer-aided design, the iTero scanner makes it possible for us to create accurate models for restorative purposes, including crowns, veneers, and implants. If you need surgery that calls for a dental restoration, why not take advantage of the cutting-edge technology available at our office?
