If you are looking for Oral Surgery at Galang Dental Center, our dental clinic provides safe, precise, and modern surgical treatments designed to address complex dental conditions while protecting your overall oral health. Oral surgery focuses on treating problems involving the teeth, gums, jawbone, and surrounding facial structures. These procedures are often recommended when routine dental treatments are not enough to resolve pain, infection, or structural concerns.
Oral surgery is not just about removing teeth — it plays an important role in relieving discomfort, preventing serious complications, restoring proper function, and supporting long-term dental stability. At our clinic, we combine advanced surgical techniques with gentle patient care to ensure every procedure is performed safely and comfortably. Our goal is to help patients in San Fernando achieve better oral health with minimal stress and faster recovery.
Odontectomy
Odontectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed to remove impacted or partially erupted teeth, most commonly wisdom teeth. An impacted tooth is one that does not fully emerge from the gums due to lack of space or improper positioning. When this happens, it can cause pain, swelling, infection, jaw stiffness, and even damage to nearby teeth.
Unlike a simple extraction, odontectomy requires careful surgical access to the affected tooth. The procedure may involve making a small incision in the gum and removing a portion of bone to safely extract the tooth. This ensures minimal trauma to surrounding tissues and promotes proper healing.
Odontectomy is commonly recommended for:
• Impacted wisdom teeth
• Teeth causing recurrent infection
• Teeth pressing against adjacent molars
• Cysts associated with impacted teeth
• Severe crowding affecting alignment
Removing impacted teeth early helps prevent complications such as gum disease, tooth decay in neighboring teeth, and jawbone infection. After the procedure, patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to support smooth healing and reduce discomfort. With proper care, recovery is typically quick and manageable.
Frenectomy
Frenectomy is a simple surgical procedure that involves the removal or adjustment of a frenum — the small band of tissue connecting the lips, cheeks, or tongue to the gums. While small, this tissue can sometimes cause functional and orthodontic problems if it is too tight, thick, or improperly positioned.
There are two common types of frenectomy:
• Lingual frenectomy – performed to correct tongue-tie (ankyloglossia)
• Labial frenectomy – performed to adjust the tissue between the upper front teeth
A tongue-tie can affect speech, swallowing, and even breastfeeding in infants. In children and adults, it may interfere with proper tongue movement and oral function. A labial frenum that is too tight can create gaps between the front teeth or interfere with orthodontic treatment.
The procedure is quick and minimally invasive. In many cases, it can be completed in a single visit under local anesthesia. Patients typically experience minimal discomfort and fast healing. Frenectomy can significantly improve speech clarity, support proper tooth alignment, and enhance overall oral function.
