Some patients may already be intimidated by regular dental checkups, so the thought of oral surgery can be even more stressful. However, visiting an oral surgeon can improve your oral health and prevent long-term issues. You may need to see an oral surgeon if:
Since tooth roots normally provide the jaw with the stimulation it needs to stay strong, missing teeth can lead to the loss of bone tissue in your jawbone. In extreme cases, bone grafting may be necessary to strengthen your jaw. Dental implants can stimulate the jawbone tissue, preventing future tissue loss.
Wisdom teeth that do not fully erupt or come in at an odd angle can cause pain and force your other teeth to shift. Over time, this can cause misalignment in your bite, and can cause issues like TMJ disorders. We can remove your wisdom tooth through surgery at our Missouri City, TX, or Richmond, TX, offices.
The infection in a tooth can spread to other areas of the mouth and even the rest of your body if it enters the bloodstream. Extracting the infected tooth through a surgical procedure can preserve your oral health.
In addition to improving your overall oral health, our oral surgeons can enhance your smile with implants and false teeth. Maxillofacial surgery from Fort Bend Dental will have you both feeling and looking good.

While general dentists can address a wide range of issues, oral surgeons have specialized training in surgical techniques. General dentists have a great understanding of dentistry as a whole but have no specialization in maxillofacial surgical procedures.
Our oral surgeons have access to specialized tools and technology that allows them to perform minimally invasive procedures. This puts patients undergoing dental implants, wisdom teeth removal, and bone grafting in the hands of dental professionals who are better equipped for surgical treatments.
If you need oral surgery, you’re in great hands with Dr. George Jabbour and Dr. Dwight Peccora. Contact Fort Bend Dental at either one of our Richmond, TX, offices or our practice in Missouri City, TX. You can also call us at:

During your consultation at Fort Bend Dental, our oral surgeons will review your oral health history and goals for your smile. Our recommendations for oral surgery will be tailored to your unique needs.
After implant surgery or extraction, patients will need to follow a few guidelines for their recovery. The oral surgeons in our Missouri City and Richmond, TX, offices recommend you:
Elevating your heart rate can cause increased swelling, bleeding, and discomfort in your oral cavity. For a faster, more successful recovery, Fort Bend Dental recommends patients avoid heavy lifting and strenuous physical activity.
For the first few days after your surgery, you should eat soft foods like ice cream, smoothies, yogurt, and eggs. As the site of the surgical procedure heals, more solid food can be reintroduced into your diet. The team at Fort Bend Dental will provide dietary recommendations.
After your surgery, our oral surgeons will provide prescription medication for you. Patients are urged to take antibiotics, pain relievers, and other medication as prescribed to avoid unwanted side effects.
Cold compresses can reduce face swelling after oral surgery. For maximum results, you should use a cold compress within 24 hours after your procedure. Afterward, you should apply the cold compress in 20-minute sessions as the swelling decreases.
