While your teeth generally take much of the credit for your ability to eat and speak, your soft tissues perform vital functions that you may sometimes take for granted. Your gums protect your teeth in more ways than one, most notably they keep infection from invading your teeth. While sometimes having too little soft tissue or too much causing a “gummy smile,” can make you feel self-conscious, limit essential oral functions and create risks for your dental health. However, Dr. Sadesh Kumar offers personalized soft tissue periodontal treatments and surgical procedures such as tooth extractions and dental implantation in Melbourne, Florida to not only rebalance and restore your dental health, but to create a healthy smile that’s beautiful and long lasting!
Our restorative oral surgery in Melbourne, FL can remedy your pain and embarrassment!
Often required as a first step when placing a dental implant in the back upper jaw, a sinus lift is a form of bone graft used to help strengthen the upper jaw beneath the sinus cavity. A sinus lift is needed when the upper back teeth are lost and bone in the area naturally shrinks or reabsorbs over time, causing your sinuses to expand to fill the empty space. Because there is insufficient bone available to securely place an implant, the sinuses must be lifted to create space for placing additional bone in the area.
In short, bone grafting is a surgical procedure that uses transplanted bone to repair and rebuild diseases or damaged bones. With advanced training in bone grafting techniques using PRP and growth factors, Dr. Kumar is able to take a modern approach to your bone grafting procedure. For years, bone grafting procedures entailed taking from another part of your body. With our advanced dental technology and talented doctor, we’re able to limit the number of procedures needed to create a more streamlined and comfortable procedure for our patients.
An apicoectomy is a common dental procedure where inflamed gum tissue and the end of your tooth root are removed while the top of your tooth is left in place. This is performed when inflammation or infection persists in the bony area around the end of your tooth and can be performed after a root canal. Dr. Kumar will open the gum tissue to remove the infected area and the tip of the root. Once this is completed, a small filing may be inserted into the root tip to seal the root canal.
