Suturing

Suturing is a critical skill in dentistry. It plays a vital role in wound closure and promoting optimal healing after various oral surgical procedures. It involves using specialized needles and thread-like materials to approximate tissue edges, control bleeding, and facilitate primary intention healing.

We use our suturing skills in various Advanced Procedures at our practice. Some operations that may involve suturing include:

Extractions
Oral Surgery
Root Canals
Dental Implants
