Dental Examination

Crowns
As one of the most significant dental innovations in recent times, a dental implant is a small surgical post made of biocompatible metal or ceramic, that is placed into the jawbone to function in the same manner as the root of a natural tooth. In the same way that a root supports the natural crown of your tooth, an implant integrates over time with the surrounding bone to provide a stable and durable foundation for a single dental crown or bridge, as well as a complete set of upper or lower replacement teeth.

Dentures
Partial dentures, flippers or full dentures should not be used immediately after surgery and for at least ten days. This was discussed in the pre-operative consultation.

Dental Implants
By performing grafting procedures, the oral and maxillofacial surgeon can help restore the bone to its original dimensions to maintain facial esthetics, repair the damage caused by periodontal disease as well as facilitate the success of procedures such as the placement of dental implants. A bone graft provides a platform or “scaffolding” for new bone growth and the material for a bone graft can be derived from the patient, other donor sources or be comprised of synthetic, bone-like materials.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Sedation offers individuals with general anxiety about going to the oral surgeon, or fears about a specific oral surgery procedure, the opportunity to have a stress free and more comfortable experience. Utilizing safe and controlled sedation techniques prior to the procedure, the patient is eased into a state of complete relaxation. This eliminates any discomfort, pain, and preoperative anxiety that may be associated with a particular visit. With sedation, patients typically feel more at ease post-operatively as they have little or no memory of the actual moment-to-moment oral surgery procedure.
Jaw Surgery
Orthodontic treatment alone is often insufficient to address all of the issues caused by these improper or disproportionate jaw relationships. Orthognathic surgery, more commonly known as corrective jaw surgery, is sometimes necessary to help address these skeletal and dental irregularities.
Maxillofacial Surgery
Dr. Michael T. Shannon is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, Massachusetts) and Tufts University School of Dental Medicine (Boston, Massachusetts), with honors. Dr. Shannon completed both his internship and residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Barnes and Affiliated Hospitals, Washington University Medical Center in St. Louis, Missouri in 1988. Following this, Dr. Shannon was selected for an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery fellowship at St. Louis Children’s Hospital, with a focus in pediatric facial trauma and pain management. He is also the author of several published papers in his specialty.
Tooth Extractions
From the provision of emergency care to address a range of oral and facial injuries to performing all types of dental extractions and bone grafts as well as other hard and soft tissue procedures, the placement of dental implants and the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea or TMJ disorders, our oral and maxillofacial surgeons in North Andover provide the highest quality of skilled, reliable care.
Ridge Augmentation
The use of Platelet Rich Plasma has applications across a range of dental surgical procedures, including bone grafting for the placement of dental implants, guided bone regeneration, ridge augmentation, the repair of bony defects following tooth removal, sinus lifts and the treatment of facial trauma. With the use of Platelet Rich Plasma, the risks of complications and infection during the recovery process are decreased. While speeding up and improving the quality of healing is important for all patients who are undergoing a surgical procedure, platelet rich fibrin may be particularly helpful for patients with medical conditions that interfere with healing.
Bone Grafting
Bone loss in the jaws and around the teeth can be the result of missing teeth, periodontal disease, or trauma. This bone loss is more than a detriment to oral health and function; it can also alter facial appearance as the support for the natural contours of the face is diminished.
