We Take the Stress Out of Dental Surgery

We want your dental care to be as stress-free as possible, which means providing the treatments you need for your oral health challenges in one convenient place. We’re proud to offer several types of dental surgeries here so you don’t have to worry about going somewhere else to see a specialist. You’ll feel comfortable throughout the process with help from our gentle staff and dental sedation. With our skills and technology, we can perform many surgical procedures:

  • Tooth Removal

    If a tooth is too damaged to be saved, we can gently remove it to protect your health and relieve toothache pain. We can also remove teeth to reduce overcrowding, prevent future dental problems, and prepare your mouth for orthodontic care or dental implants.

  • Wisdom Teeth Extraction

    Our dentists can handle common issues caused by wisdom teeth, like impaction or potential crowding. We may refer your case out if the problem with your wisdom teeth is particularly complex.

  • Dental Implants

    From a single tooth to full-mouth teeth replacement, we can place and restore your dental implants here so you won’t have to see another provider.

  • Bone Grafts

    If you need to replace missing teeth but have a weak jawbone, we can strengthen it with a graft so your jaw can support dental implants.

  • Sinus Lifts

    This procedure makes room for dental implants with bone grafting in your upper jaw.

  • Ridge Augmentation

    Whether it’s to create a more attractive facial appearance or prepare your mouth for implants, you can build up your jaw ridge with this procedure.

Common Question

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?

There are several circumstances that might require oral surgery. If you or your loved one has a badly damaged or diseased tooth, it may need removal. Likewise, wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge and need to be extracted. Other procedures like bone grafts, sinus lifts, and ridge augmentations prepare for treatments such as dental implants.

Your pain level will vary depending on the extent of your surgical procedure, your age, and your overall health. For some procedures, you may feel little or no pain as you recover. For more extensive procedures, you may have some soreness. In any case, we’ll provide guidance to help you minimize pain and soreness.

Your dental insurance or medical insurance may cover a portion of your oral surgery. We recommend you check with your individual carriers to find out what they will and won’t pay for before you have any work done. That way there aren’t any big surprises in store for you. As a convenience, we offer third-party financing through CareCredit.
