Surgical dentistry encompasses various procedures designed to treat more complex dental issues that can't be addressed with conventional treatments. Dr. Jagirdar is committed to providing her patients with advanced surgical options that improve not only aesthetics but also functionality. By addressing underlying issues surgically, patients can enjoy long-term benefits, enhanced oral health, and improved quality of life.
Dental implants serve as a permanent solution to missing teeth. Dr. Jagirdar employs state-of-the-art techniques to anchor these titanium posts into the jawbone, which then support artificial teeth. The result is a natural-looking and feeling replacement, restoring functionality and aesthetics to the mouth.
This advanced procedure involves placing a full arch of teeth using as few as four implants. Dr. Jagirdar ensures the procedure is tailored to each patient, offering a stable, long-lasting solution for those missing multiple teeth, improving both function and appearance.
Bone grafting is a procedure Dr. Jagirdar recommends when there's insufficient bone to support dental implants. By transplanting bone tissue, she creates a stronger foundation for implant placement, ensuring long-term success and optimal oral health.
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are innovative treatments used to promote faster healing after dental surgeries. Dr. Jagirdar uses a patient's own blood to create PRP and PRF, harnessing growth factors to reduce inflammation and enhance the body's healing process.
Crown lengthening is a procedure designed to expose more of the tooth's structure. Dr. Jagirdar often recommends this to prepare a tooth for a crown or cosmetic purposes. By reshaping excess gum and bone tissue, she provides a stable base for restorations and enhances aesthetic appeal.
Recovery times can vary based on individual factors and the extent of the procedure. Generally, most patients experience some soreness for a few days. However, with proper care and following Dr. Jagirdar's instructions, many return to routine activities within a day or two.
Dr. Jagirdar prioritizes patient comfort at Flatiron Dental. While surgical procedures can cause discomfort, effective anesthesia and sedation are available to ensure a virtually pain-free experience. Post-operative discomfort is manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain relievers.
With proper care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are designed to be a permanent solution. Dr. Jagirdar's expertise ensures they're placed correctly, optimizing their lifespan and functionality.
