Conditions Related To Dentoalveolar Surgery
Dentoalveolar surgery covers a wide range of conditions affecting the teeth, jawbone, and surrounding soft tissues. Common conditions that may require dentoalveolar surgery include:
Personal Consultation
Although the alveolar bone is part of the jaw, specialist techniques are available to address jaw-specific concerns. These include orthognathic surgery to correct alignment issues and targeted treatments for temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Ensuring the lower jaw functions properly and maintains facial symmetry is a key aspect of our work. However, dentoalveolar surgery specifically focuses on procedures that treat the teeth and surrounding hard and soft tissues.
Your consultant surgeon will discuss any potential risks with you, along with your dental and medical history. They will take the time to understand your concerns, expectations, and desired outcomes.
At our London clinic, dentoalveolar surgery is tailored to the individual, aimed at relieving symptoms, treating underlying conditions, and ensuring long-term oral health.
Where necessary, a physical examination will be supported by X-rays or advanced imaging techniques. Tissue or bone analysis may also be carried out, ensuring a comprehensive medical and aesthetic treatment plan is developed for you.
Dentoalveolar Treatment
Anaesthesia is usually required and will be discussed with your consultant to determine the most suitable option. Depending on the procedure, local anaesthesia, IV sedation, or general anaesthesia may be used.
Most treatments can be carried out in our fully equipped day surgery unit, including complex tooth and root extractions or the removal of growths on the jaw.
For cases requiring hospital care, such as significant dentoalveolar trauma, we have access to leading private hospitals nearby, offering exceptional medical support and personalised care.
The expertise at our Harley Street clinic also plays a crucial role when dentoalveolar treatment is needed as part of wider facial surgery. If we can assist in any way, please don’t hesitate to contact our team.
