Comprehensive Oral Surgery Services

Tooth Extractions

Severely damaged, decayed, or impacted teeth can cause significant pain and lead to further complications. We perform both routine and complex tooth extractions, including wisdom teeth removal, to prevent infections and protect your oral health. If you're considering a dental implant after extraction, we offer dental implant restoration for long-term tooth replacement.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often cause overcrowding, pain, and infection when they do not emerge properly. Our team carefully evaluates each case using digital X-rays to determine the best course of action for safe and efficient removal.

Bone Grafting

For patients with jawbone loss, bone grafting helps restore bone density and structure, especially for those planning to receive dental implants. This procedure enhances bone volume, ensuring a strong foundation for future restorations.

Oral Pathology & Biopsies

Early detection of oral abnormalities, such as cysts, tumors, or lesions, is crucial for overall health. If you notice persistent sores, lumps, or unusual tissue changes, our team can perform oral biopsies and refer you to a specialist if needed.

TMJ Disorder Treatment

Chronic jaw pain, clicking, and headaches may indicate temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. We provide customized TMJ treatments to relieve pain and improve jaw function. If necessary, surgical intervention can help restore alignment and comfort.

Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

For patients needing dentures or full mouth reconstruction, pre-prosthetic surgery prepares the jaw by reshaping bone and tissue, ensuring a better, more secure fit for prosthetic appliances.

FAQs About Oral Surgery

1. How do I know if I need oral surgery?

You may need oral surgery if you have severe tooth decay, impacted wisdom teeth, jawbone loss, or a persistent oral health issue that requires surgical intervention. A consultation with our dentists will help determine the best course of action.

2. Is oral surgery painful?

We use local anesthesia and sedation options to ensure a comfortable, pain-free experience. Some post-surgical discomfort is normal, but it can be managed with prescribed medications and proper aftercare.

3. How long does recovery take after oral surgery?

Recovery time depends on the procedure. Simple extractions may heal in a few days, while bone grafting or complex surgeries may require several weeks for full recovery. We provide post-op guidelines to support healing.

4. Can I eat normally after oral surgery?

For the first few days, we recommend a soft food diet to prevent irritation. Avoid hot, spicy, or crunchy foods until your mouth has healed. Our team will give you a detailed dietary guide based on your procedure.

5. Does insurance cover oral surgery?

Many insurance plans cover oral surgery, especially for tooth extractions and medically necessary procedures. We will verify your coverage and discuss affordable payment options if needed.
