Is Oral Surgery Really Necessary?
Many patients are anxious at the thought of a normal dental checkup, let alone surgery. However, oral surgery is only recommended when the benefits outweigh any potential risks. In the hands of an expert, a surgical procedure can:
Missing teeth can take a toll on your appearance, not to mention your chewing function and overall dental health. Dr. Stofer and his team can both place and restore dental implants to fill in the gaps in your smile.
With a tooth extraction, Dr. Stofer can remove infected or problematically positioned teeth to reduce the risk of future problems. An untreated problem can potentially cause cavities, periodontal infection, discomfort, and even abscesses.
While there are noninvasive treatments that target tooth pain, bad breath, or bleeding gums, it is often much more efficient to identify and tackle the underlying cause of these symptoms. Because some oral health issues are due to abnormalities in the upper or lower jaws, a surgical procedure allows Dr. Stofer to directly treat the cause.
When you feel better, it shows. Many people go out of their way to hide their smile if they think it looks unhealthy. By extracting problematic teeth or replacing missing ones with dental implants, Dr. Stofer can not only fortify your dental health, but allow you to take great confidence in your smile, as well.

Dental Implant Placement
Dental implants not only replace missing tooth roots, but they also help support facial structures by reducing the risk of jawbone atrophy. Implants support a variety of restorations, including dental crowns, bridges, and dentures. Dr. Stofer and his Warsaw, IN, team can perform every aspect of dental implant care right here in our office.

Bone Grafting
Sometimes jawbone degradation occurs due to trauma or prolonged tooth loss. Bone graft surgery involves adding donor tissue to areas of bone loss to increase density and provide better support to the facial features. Grafts are often necessary prior to dental implant surgery. In many cases, they are performed at the same time as extraction to preserve the site for an implant later on.

Soft Tissue Biopsy
If a patient has abnormal lesions in the mouth, a soft-tissue biopsy may be necessary. A biopsy is the surgical removal of a piece of tissue for further testing. A soft tissue biopsy can detect oral pre-cancer and cancer in its early stages, when it is most effectively treated. Dr. Stofer can perform this type of biopsy and refer you to another specialist if necessary.
