Dental Examination
X-rays

Crowns
A single prosthesis (crown) is used to replace one missing tooth — each prosthetic tooth attaches to its own implant. A bridge can replace two or more teeth and is placed as a single unit on multiple implants. A complete dental prosthesis can replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw. The number of implants required varies depending upon which type of complete prosthesis (removable or fixed) is recommended. A removable prosthesis also called an “overdenture,” attaches firmly to the dental implants. There are many ways to accomplish this. A fixed prosthesis is permanent and removable only by the dentist.
Bridges
Dental Bonding

Root Canal Treatment
The jaw surgery used to treat Alveolar fractures include stabilizing wires or bonding. If a tooth is knocked out, it should be placed in the patient’s cheek. Do not place the tooth in milk or allow it to become desiccated (dried out). The sooner the tooth is re-inserted into the dental socket, the better chance it will survive. The patient should see their dentist as soon as possible. Never attempt to wipe the tooth off because remnants of the ligament that hold the tooth in the jaw are attached and are vital to the success of replanting the tooth. Root canal therapy and/or repair of fractured teeth may be required. In the event that injured teeth cannot be saved or repaired, dental implants are often now utilized as replacements for missing teeth.

Dentures
A small amount of bleeding is to be expected following multiple extractions of teeth. If bleeding occurs, place a gauze pad directly over the bleeding socket and apply biting pressure for 30 minutes. If bleeding continues, a moist tea bag can be used for 30 minutes. If bleeding persists, call our office immediately. Do not remove immediate dentures unless the bleeding is severe. Expect some oozing around the side of the denture.
Overdentures

Dental Implants
Do not disturb the wound. Avoid rinsing, spitting or touching the wound on the day of dental implant surgery. There will be a metal healing abutment protruding minimally through the gum tissue. Follow all dental implant surgery recovery instructions to help the body heal faster. Our oral and maxillofacial surgeons will give you instructions for your dental implant recovery. For questions and concerns please contact the oral pathologists of Wichita OMS.

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Oral Surgery
Many people have anxiety related to dental procedures, especially oral surgery. We encourage our patients who struggle with dental anxiety to be open about their feelings before the day of surgery and help our patients take steps to help ease their feelings.
Jaw Surgery
Corrective jaw surgery is different than orthodontia because it involves repositioning jaw bones rather than simply aligning teeth. Corrective jaw surgery is also known as orthognathic surgery and is often needed when someone has an improper bite or their jaws are not positioned correctly. These issues can cause problems with speech, chewing, oral health, and appearance. Watch this video and consult with your dentist to see if corrective jaw surgery would be helpful for you. If so, one of our oral surgeons would love to help.
Pre-prosthetic Surgery
One or more of the following pre-prosthetic surgery procedures might need to be performed by our oral and maxillofacial surgeons to prepare your mouth for a denture...
Maxillofacial Surgery
Thank you for your interest in our oral and maxillofacial surgery services. OMS Associates is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays and 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Fridays.
Tooth Extractions
After tooth extractions, you may experience some pain and swelling. An ice pack or an unopened bag of frozen veggies applied to the area will keep swelling to a minimum. Take pain medications as prescribed. The swelling usually begins to subside after 48 to 72 hours.
Bone Grafting
Dental bone grafting can repair implant sites with inadequate bone structure due to previous extractions, gum disease, or injuries. The bone is obtained from your own bone and transferred to the site that is deficient. Most commonly, the bone is removed from your jaw in the area where your wisdom teeth would be. Occasionally, grafts for dental surgery are taken from the hip or tibia (below the knee). However, sinus bone grafts are also performed to replace bone in the posterior upper jaw. Further, our surgeons also utilize advanced technology in bone healing by the use of INFUSE®. To clarify, this is a system that uses recombinant bone morphogenic protein instead of your own bone.

Orthodontics
If your TMJ disorder has caused problems with how your teeth fit together, you may need TMJ treatment such as bite adjustment (equilibration), orthodontics with or without jaw reconstruction, or restorative dental work. Surgical options such as arthrocentesis and open joint surgery are rare, but sometimes necessary. Our jaw surgeons do not consider TMJ surgery unless the jaw can’t open, is dislocated and non-reducible, or has severe degeneration. Contact our office for information about TMJ pain treatment.
