Shanks Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery

Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, topped with a custom-made crown that mimics the look and function of a natural tooth.

Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure to extract the third molars located at the back of the mouth. These teeth often become impacted or cause crowding, leading to discomfort or potential infection. Removal helps prevent future dental complications.

Bone grafting is a procedure used to rebuild bone in areas where it has deteriorated or been lost, often in preparation for dental implants. It involves placing bone material, either from the patient or a donor, to stimulate new bone growth and ensure sufficient support for implants.

Pre-prosthetic surgery is performed to prepare the mouth for the placement of dentures. This may include reshaping the gums, removing excess bone, or smoothing irregular bone surfaces, ensuring a better fit and increased comfort for the denture appliance.
