Oral Surgery Procedures
Dr. Azad, Dr. Vuong, Dr. Nazmi, Dr. Kopii & Dr. Bayati perform various oral surgery procedures in their state-of-the-art Worman’s Mill dental office in Frederick, MD. To learn more about the procedures offered, please review the information below, which includes links to more detailed information.
Dental Implants
Dental implants, the most comfortable and convenient solution for missing teeth, restore beauty and function to your smile if you are missing one or more teeth. Implants also protect against bone loss and preserve facial contours to prevent a prematurely aged appearance.
Bone Grafting
For patients with insufficient bone to support dental implants, we can correct the problem with bone grafting. By using your own bone or donor grafts, we can build up bone density to support implants and correct bone deformities.
Are You a Candidate for Oral Surgery?
Advances in the field of oral surgery have made surgery procedures much simpler. Wormans Mill Dental Group provides excellent care with great patient outcomes.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
We recommend wisdom teeth removal for most individuals in their teens or twenties to prevent painful impaction and other complications later in life. If you or your teen develop impacted wisdom teeth, wisdom teeth removal is essential to relieve pain and prevent infection.
Jaw Surgery
Orthognathic surgery is a complex jaw surgery performed to realign the jawbone and joint when they are not aligned correctly. A misaligned jaw may be the result of uneven growth, a birth defect, or injury and can lead to difficulties eating and speaking as well as severe pain. Jaw surgery corrects these issues.
Facial Trauma Treatment
Facial trauma covers a wide range of injuries requiring surgical skill, compassion, and an understanding of facial aesthetics. Drs. Azad, Vuong, and Nazmi work with patients undergoing facial trauma treatment to ensure optimal results, patient comfort, and an anxiety-free experience.
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are usually the last resort after attempts at restoration have failed or to correct overcrowding before orthodontic treatment. When tooth extraction is needed, we evaluate the tooth and perform non-surgical or surgical extraction, depending on the circumstances.
Pre-Prosthetic Surgery
Pre-prosthetic surgery improves the fit of dentures and other dental prosthetics by reshaping and smoothing the jawbone ridge. If you are considering dentures, pre-prosthetic surgery may be needed to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that does not irritate your gums.
Oral Pathology
Oral pathology involves the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, including cancers of the mouth and jaw. We perform routine oral cancer exams and biopsies of suspicious lesions or changes in soft tissues to determine whether treatment is necessary.
TMJ Treatment
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ Disorder) is a complex, painful disorder requiring a team approach to treatment. We evaluate TMJ issues and work closely with patients to determine the best strategy, which may include multiple treatment modalities.
Sleep Apnea Treatment
Sleep apnea is a serious condition that interferes with restorative sleep and interrupts oxygen to the brain for short periods throughout the night. Treatment options range from CPAP machines to regulate breathing to corrective surgery.
Exposure of Impacted Teeth
The cuspids (eye teeth) sometimes erupt in the roof of the mouth or outside the jawbone ridge. They may also become impacted, requiring intervention to guide them into position. Early intervention prevents the need for surgery and extensive orthodontic correction.
3D Imaging
3D imaging provides exact, 3-dimensional images of the teeth and bones of the jawbone and face with minimal radiation exposure. These images are crucial tools for diagnosing and treating patients accurately and precisely.
Anesthesia
We offer various anesthesia options to our patients depending on their level of dental anxiety, the complexity of the procedure, and what is medically appropriate. Drs. Azad, Vuong, and Nazmi review anesthesia options with each patient before their procedure.
