At Rideau Dental Centre in Ottawa, our dentists perform a variety of oral surgery procedures to treat dental issues and alter your oral health.
What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects of the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws.
While we always use the least invasive treatment possible for a given dental problem, in some cases, less invasive treatment options are simply not sufficient and oral surgery is required.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root. Our dentists place dental implants as part of the process to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. All-on-6 implants for significant tooth loss help provide improved stability and comfort when combined with a fixed denture or bridge.
Gum Grafts
A gum graft is a procedure where gum tissue is taken from the roof of the mouth and transplanted onto another area of the gums. A gum graft can help to cover exposed tooth roots, repair receding gums, and reduce any associated symptoms such as severe tooth sensitivity or eventual tooth loss, to protect your oral health.
Tooth Extractions
While it's always preferable to save a natural tooth, there are some cases where it's not possible. If a tooth is too badly damaged as a result of decay, gum disease or injury, it may need to be removed by your dentist.
Widsom Tooth Removal
Wisdom teeth are the final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of a normal adult mouth. If the wisdom teeth are causing problems for your oral hygiene, your dentist may recommend removing them to help preserve your oral health.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy procedure to eliminate a frenum, a small piece of tissue that connects your cheeks, tongue or lips to your gum area. Our dentists perform frenectomies for babies, children and adults when the frenum is restricting function, commonly referred to as tongue-tied, lip-tied or cheek-tied.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
A bone graft is a procedure where your dentist adds bone tissue to your jaw bone, making it strong enough to support a dental implant. A sinus lift is a type of bone graft where your dentist adds bone material to the upper back jaw to raise and increase the amount of bone in the sinus area to place a dental implant.
All-on-6 Dental Implants at Rideau Dental Centre
The All-on-6 dental implant procedure is a full-arch restoration technique that uses six strategically placed implants to support a fixed denture or bridge. This approach has been developed to provide a stable, long-lasting solution for patients with significant tooth loss.
A Walk-Through of Our First All-on-6 Case
Take a behind-the-scenes look at our first All-on-6 case — a full-day treatment involving extractions, implant placement, and delivery of an immediate denture, supported by in-house technology and collaboration with SprintRay and Straumann.
Straumann captured the experience on video to showcase the process and teamwork involved. We’re excited to share this moment with you.
