Oral Surgery at Curve Orthodontics

Oral surgery encompasses specialized dental procedures that go beyond routine treatments. Whether you need a complex tooth extraction, surgical removal of impacted wisdom teeth, or other dental surgery, our experienced team at Curve Orthodontics in Bangalore provides expert care in a comfortable, supportive environment.

We understand that oral surgery can feel intimidating. That's why we take time to explain every procedure, answer all your questions, and ensure you're completely comfortable before, during, and after surgery. Our modern techniques minimize discomfort and promote faster healing.

From initial consultation through complete recovery, we provide comprehensive care and clear guidance at every step. Our goal is to address your dental concerns with precision while making the experience as stress-free as possible.

Oral Surgery Procedures We Perform

Surgical Tooth Extraction When teeth cannot be removed with simple extraction—such as broken teeth, teeth with curved roots, or teeth fused to bone—surgical extraction is required. We make a small incision, sometimes section the tooth, and carefully remove it with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue.

Wisdom Tooth Removal Impacted wisdom teeth (third molars) often require surgical removal. These teeth may be trapped under the gum, growing at angles, or only partially erupted. Surgical removal prevents pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth.

Tooth Exposure for Orthodontics When a tooth (often a canine) is impacted and needs to be brought into alignment with braces, we surgically expose the tooth and attach a bracket, allowing the orthodontist to guide it into position.

Pre-Prosthetic Surgery Surgery to prepare the mouth for dentures, implants, or other prosthetics. This may include smoothing bone ridges, removing excess tissue, or other modifications for optimal prosthetic fit.

Biopsy When unusual tissue or lesions are found in the mouth, we may perform a biopsy to determine whether further treatment is needed.

Frenectomy Removal or modification of the frenum (the tissue connecting lips or tongue to the gums) when it restricts movement or causes dental problems.

When is Surgical Extraction Needed?

Surgical extraction (versus simple extraction) is typically needed when:

• The tooth is impacted (trapped beneath the gum)
• The tooth is broken at or below the gum line
• The tooth has curved or multiple roots
• The tooth is fused to the bone (ankylosis)
• There's significant bone loss around the tooth
• Previous extraction attempts were unsuccessful
