‘Dento’ is Latin for teeth, while ‘Alveolar’ relates to the area of the jaw containing the sockets for your teeth. Dentoalveolar surgery involves a variety of procedures including:
Removal of impacted/unerupted teeth, particularly wisdom teeth, is perhaps the most common dentoalveolar surgical procedure performed.
Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to form. Often, they erupt into the mouth with little space in the jawbone for them to erupt completely upright. Wisdom teeth often become impacted — meaning the teeth do not, or cannot, erupt normally.
High-quality treatment by an experienced oral and maxillofacial surgeon is necessary to reduce the risk of infection, nerve damage, or damage to other teeth.
