If you’re suffering from severely decayed, broken, or failing teeth, have several missing teeth, or have other advanced treatment needs, you may need oral surgery. Finding an oral surgeon near you can be inconvenient and complicated, but most family dentists don’t have the training or technology necessary to offer oral surgery services.

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common procedure to prevent potential dental issues caused by a lack of space for proper eruption. Typically occurring around 18-20 years old, removing wisdom teeth can prevent teeth shifting, damage to neighboring molars, and jawbone issues. With appropriate sedation, this procedure can be comfortable and prevent more serious oral health complications in the future.
To protect your health, tooth extractions are often recommended for failing teeth that cannot be saved. This common oral surgery procedure involves gently removing the tooth without disturbing healthy bone or gum tissue. In some cases, bone grafting material or dental implants can be placed immediately after the extraction, simplifying the full mouth reconstruction process.
Bone grafting is a process of adding bone material to preserve or replace bone levels in the jawbone. It’s often necessary before dental implant placement to ensure successful results. The procedure involves placing bone grafting material at the site of bone resorption and allowing it to heal and integrate with the jawbone over a few months.
When the bone volume supporting upper teeth is insufficient for dental implants due to the proximity of the maxillary sinus floor, a sinus lift procedure is performed. This specialized form of bone grafting involves lifting the sinus cavity lining and adding bone tissue to increase the height of the bony ridge in the upper arch. By creating a more suitable foundation, the sinus lift enables the successful placement of dental implants.
Dental implants are a permanent replacement for missing teeth and are made up of three parts—the post, abutment, and restoration. Dental implant posts are surgically inserted into the jawbone to anchor a new tooth or set of teeth. Modern dental implant surgery is precise, especially when CT-guided technology is used. An immediate load of temporary restoration may also be available for qualifying patients!
Missing teeth for an extended period can cause jawbone shrinkage and facial changes, affecting denture fit and jaw joint. Ridge augmentation is a specialized bone grafting procedure that rebuilds and reshapes the bone ridge, providing a strong foundation for dental implants and prosthetics. This improves bone strength, health, and restores functionality.
We understand that most people don’t look forward to oral surgery. It can feel intimidating to undergo any surgery, even in the best-case scenario. With dental sedation in our relaxing, spa-like atmosphere, we want to help you feel confident in your oral surgery treatment plan so you can get the care you need and enjoy an improved quality of life with strong, healthy teeth.
