Maxillofacial surgery includes the pathology and surgical treatment of pressing problems like maxillo-mandibular traumas and cervico-facial soft parts, oral and maxillofacial infections, benign or malignant tumors of soft and bone maxillofacial parts, jaw defects, etc.
Here are a few things that can be treated by AMOS Of Colorado in Parker through
maxillofacial surgery:
Dental extraction
When a tooth is destroyed and can no longer be restored, or
there are complications at the level of the dental root – periapical
complications – then the tooth must be extracted. Then, it can be replaced with
a dental implant or a dental bridge.
Corrections and realignment of jaw bones
When the maxillary bones do not meet correctly, producing a
faulty occlusion, orthognathic surgery is needed. It repositions the bones in
an optimal balance and improves physiognomy. The purpose of orthognathic
surgery is to correct the facial structure, rebuilding a correct occlusion and
giving optimal functionality to the teeth.
Open sinus lift
Sinus-lifting is a surgery aimed at improving the conditions
for applying dental implants to bone
atrophy of the upper jaw.
Arthroscopy
The temporomandibular joint connects the mandible (the lower
jaw) to the skull’s temporal bone, right near the ears. This joint is flexible,
allowing the jaw to move from top to bottom, on each side and facilitating
processes such as talking, chewing and even yawning. The muscles attached
around the temporomandibular joint are the ones that control the movement and
the position of the jaw.
