We here at Pasadena Dental Implants, located in Pasadena, CA, are led by Dr. Peter Cooper and provide a full range of oral surgery services. Here are 8 ways in which we can help you!

1. Replace Lost Teeth- Is your smile missing teeth? Dental implant surgery is a procedure that replaces lost teeth with artificial restorations that feel, fit, and act like real teeth. Dental implants can restore your smile, improve your ability to chew food, prevent jawbone loss, and prevent your natural teeth from shifting out of place. 

2. Jaw Problems- Corrective jaw surgery is performed by oral surgeons to correct a range of skeletal and dental irregularities. Corrective jaw surgery includes the correction of misaligned teeth and jaws, which will then improve chewing, speaking, and breathing. The procedure is usually only recommended where the misalignment affects everyday functions such as speaking and eating. 

3. Dental Extractions- A dental extraction is the removal of a tooth from its socket in the jawbone. A dental extraction may be necessary if your tooth is so damaged that it cannot be repaired. Additionally, if your wisdom tooth doesn't have room to grow, you'll likely need to have them pulled. Impacted wisdom teeth can result in swelling, pain, and a gum infection.

4. Treat Sleep Apnea- Sleep apnea is a potentially life-threatening disorder that causes repeated awakenings and pauses in breathing during sleep. A variety of surgical options are available for the treatment of sleep apnea. The goal of surgery is to enlarge the airway through your nose or throat that may be blocking the airway passages.

5. Treat a Facial Injury- Oral surgeons are most qualified to deal with facial injuries. If you suffer a facial injury, be sure to contact us for consultation. Facial trauma is an injury to the face. We are experts in treating facial injuries, including facial lacerations and fractures of the jaw. 

6. Birth Defects- Cleft lip and cleft palate are birth defects that affect the roof of the mouth and lip. Cleft lip and palate may be caused by a combination of genes and other factors, such as what the child's mother eats or drinks, or certain medications she uses during pregnancy. Surgery is designed to improve the child's ability to hear, speak, and eat, as well as restore a more conventional appearance.

7. TMJ Syndrome- When the jaw joint is damaged, it can lead to a disorder called temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. Symptoms of TMJ syndrome may include clicking and locking of the jaw joint, difficulty chewing, and jaw pain. A variety of surgical options are available for the treatment of TMJ syndrome, and are designed to relieve jaw pain and fully restore functionality.

8. Biopsy for Cancer- Only a biopsy may give a definitive oral cancer diagnosis. During a biopsy, we remove a small amount of tissue for laboratory analysis. A pathologist examines the cells under a microscope to see if they're cancerous. If oral cancer is detected early, it is almost always curable.
