Improve Your Oral Health & Function With Dental Surgery

A surgical treatment can play a crucial role in protecting your oral health or preparing you for other dental procedures. Your dentist will plan your surgery with advanced technology such as digital X-rays, 3-D cone beam equipment, and digital scanners. Plus, your dentist will provide clear explanations of his or her treatment recommendations. We want you to fully understand the proposed procedure, its necessity, and the expected outcome before moving forward.

You can get these procedures at our office instead of visiting an outside oral surgeon:

  • Extractions – Your dentist performs tooth extractions to remove damaged teeth or severely infected teeth. However, removal is typically a last resort. It’s far more important to us to save your tooth instead. Sometimes teeth are removed to make room for dentures or dental implants.
  • Ridge Augmentation – This procedure rebuilds a jawbone that has shrunk due to tooth loss. It typically is part of a treatment plan that gets your mouth ready for dental implants or other restorations.
  • Bone Grafts – Bone grafting uses bone material to supplement and regenerate lost bone mass. It helps you get one step closer to getting implants and other customized teeth replacement options.

Helping you feel at ease is important to us. Our team is compassionate and meets you where you are. If you need extra time during your procedure, you can take it. You can also relax with pillows and blankets while we work. Your dental team will also guide you through relaxation techniques that help you feel more calm. Whatever you need, let our team know. We are here for you.

Replace Extracted Teeth With Customized Options

After tooth removal, it’s important to replace missing teeth to prevent your other teeth from shifting out of place and causing issues with alignment.

You may consider:

  • Dental Implants Your dentist will refer you to an outside oral surgeon who will place these titanium posts in your jawbone. They can replace a single tooth or a full arch of missing teeth and give you strong bite strength.
  • Dental Bridges – A bridge fills the gap left by one or more missing teeth. A bridge can be anchored to nearby teeth or to implants.
  • Dentures If your extraction is part of the next step of receiving dentures, you can move forward with getting them after your mouth heals. Your dentist will craft dentures to fit you perfectly. You’ll need adhesive to keep traditional dentures in place. With implant dentures, you won’t need adhesive.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery
When would I need oral surgery?

Tooth extraction is often needed if a tooth is too damaged to repair or if it is damaging your other teeth. In some cases, you need to have teeth removed to make room for dentures or another dental restoration. If necessary, we’ll recommend a bone graft or ridge augmentation to ensure your jaw is strong enough to support dental implants.

When is oral surgery covered by insurance?

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.

When can I exercise after oral surgery?

For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much too fast can actually create problems and prolong healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first 24 hours, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.
