What Is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, jawbone, or related structures. At our office, oral surgery is often used to:
- Remove impacted or non-restorable teeth
- Prepare the jaw for dental implants
- Repair soft tissue injuries
- Rebuild bone after trauma or tooth loss
- Treat infections or cysts affecting oral health
Every procedure is carefully planned using digital imaging and tailored to your individual comfort, health history, and long-term goals.
Common Oral Surgeries We Perform
Wisdom Tooth Removal
We extract impacted or problematic third molars with minimal discomfort and detailed aftercare instructions.
Bone Grafting for Implants
Bone grafting rebuilds lost or thin jawbone to ensure a stable foundation for future implants. This is often done after extraction or in preparation for implant-supported restorations.
Complex Extractions
We handle surgical extractions of broken, impacted, or severely decayed teeth using advanced techniques and gentle care.
Ridge Preservation
Performed at the time of extraction, this procedure preserves the bone height and shape to reduce the need for grafting later.
Frenectomy (Tongue or Lip Tie Release)
A quick, soft tissue surgery that improves mobility and function in patients with tethered oral tissues.
