Services We Offer

Oral Surgery Services We Offer

Some dental problems need more than a standard procedure to fix. We perform surgical treatments with precision and care so you get the results you need with the comfort you deserve.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impacted or crowded wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, and damage to surrounding teeth. We remove them safely so your mouth has the space it needs to stay healthy.

Bone Grafting

When jawbone has thinned from tooth loss or disease, we rebuild it with grafting material so the bone is strong enough to support implants or maintain your facial structure.

Sinus Lift

If your upper jaw doesn’t have enough bone for implants, we gently lift the sinus membrane and add grafting material to create a solid foundation for placement.

Tooth Extractions

Sometimes a tooth is too damaged or infected to save. We make extractions as comfortable as possible and walk you through every option for replacing what was removed. 

Root Canals

A root canal (treatment to save an infected tooth) relieves pain and lets you keep your natural tooth instead of losing it. The procedure is quicker and more comfortable than most people expect.

Biopsies

If we spot something unusual in your mouth, a biopsy gives us clear answers fast. We take a small tissue sample, send it to the lab, and make sure nothing gets overlooked.

Surgical Care You Can Trust

What Is Oral Surgery and When Do You Need It?

Oral surgery covers procedures that involve the bone, soft tissue, or structures beneath the gum line. This includes wisdom teeth removal, surgical extractions, bone grafting, sinus lifts, and zygomatic implants for patients with significant bone loss.

Each procedure is carefully planned using 3D imaging to map your anatomy and reduce guesswork. Your surgical care and follow-up all happen under one roof, so communication between our team and patients stays seamless from consultation through recovery.

Solve It For Good

Benefits of Oral Surgery

Some dental problems can’t be managed with routine care alone. When surgery is the right path forward, it often provides the kind of lasting resolution that other treatments can’t offer.

Permanent Relief From Chronic Pain

Impacted teeth, jaw issues, and infections can cause ongoing discomfort that doesn’t go away on its own. Oral surgery addresses the root cause so you can finally move past the pain for good.

A Stronger Foundation for Future Treatment

Procedures like bone grafting and sinus lifts rebuild the support your jaw needs. This creates a solid base for dental implants or other restorations that wouldn’t be possible without it.

Faster Recovery Than You Expect

Modern surgical techniques are more precise and less invasive than they used to be. Most patients are surprised by how quickly they recover and how manageable the process actually is.

Prevent More Serious Complications

Left untreated, surgical issues like impacted wisdom teeth or infections can lead to bigger problems, including damage to surrounding teeth, cysts, or bone loss. Surgery stops the progression early.

Improved Comfort and Function

Whether it’s removing a problematic tooth or correcting a jaw alignment issue, oral surgery restores normal function. You’ll notice the difference when you eat, speak, and go about your day.

One Procedure, Lasting Results

unlike treatments that require ongoing management, oral surgery is typically a one-time solution. You address the problem directly and move forward without repeated follow-ups or temporary fixes.

Solving Complex Problems

Are You a Candidate for Oral Surgery?

Some dental issues go beyond what a standard cleaning or filling can fix. Oral surgery addresses the deeper structural problems that need a surgical approach to get you back to full health.

Painful Wisdom Teeth

Your wisdom teeth are causing swelling, crowding, or recurring pain that won’t go away on its own. Removal stops the cycle and prevents damage to the teeth around them.

Need Bone Rebuilding

You want dental implants (permanent tooth replacements) but were told you don’t have enough jawbone to support them. Grafting or a sinus lift can rebuild what’s been lost.

Complex Extraction Required

A broken tooth, an impacted root, or a tooth near a nerve requires more than a simple pull. You need a surgeon’s precision to get it out safely and comfortably.

Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

Many patients we see in know something needs to come out or be fixed, but they’re not sure where to start. If anything below describes your situation, oral surgery could be your answer.

Dealing with wisdom tooth pain that keeps coming back
Putting off an extraction because you're nervous about surgery
Living with a broken tooth that can't be saved
Dealing with jaw pain that might be connected to a dental issue
Experiencing swelling or infection around an impacted tooth
Having a tooth that another dentist said is too complex to remove

Your Surgical Experience

What Happens During an Oral Surgery Procedure

Oral surgery sounds more intimidating than it actually is. When you understand how we approach each procedure, most of that anxiety fades away. We plan everything carefully so your experience is as comfortable, safe, and predictable as possible.

Evaluation and Surgical Planning

We begin with a thorough exam and 3D CBCT imaging to get a complete picture of your anatomy. This allows us to plan the safest, most efficient surgical approach for your specific case, whether it involves extractions, bone grafting, a sinus lift, or another procedure that requires surgical precision.

Your Surgical Procedure

On the day of surgery, we make sure you’re comfortable with the right level of sedation before anything begins. Our oral surgeon works with care and accuracy, using advanced techniques to minimize tissue disruption and support faster healing. Most procedures take less time than patients expect.

Recovery and Healing Support

Before you leave, we provide clear post-operative instructions and make sure you know exactly what to expect during recovery. Our team checks in with you afterward, and follow-up visits confirm everything is healing properly. We’re available if any questions come up along the way.

Get Back to Living Life Fully

Before you know it, you'll be eating comfortably, laughing freely, and going about your day without that nagging pain slowing you down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Oral Surgery Questions

It’s completely normal to have questions before any surgical procedure. We want you to feel informed and comfortable, so we’ve answered the most common concerns below. Our team is always available if you need more detail.

What types of oral surgery do you perform?

We offer wisdom teeth removal, surgical extractions, bone grafting, sinus lift procedures, and zygomatic implants. Our oral surgeon handles everything on-site, from routine extractions to complex cases, so you receive consistent care in one location.

Is oral surgery painful?

Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the experience is. We use local anesthesia and offer sedation options to keep you relaxed and pain-free throughout the procedure. Post-surgical discomfort is typically mild and manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.

How long is recovery after wisdom teeth removal?

Most patients return to normal activities within three to five days. Swelling and mild discomfort usually peak around day two and then improve steadily. We send you home with clear aftercare instructions and check in to make sure healing is progressing well.

What is bone grafting and why might I need it?

Bone grafting adds new bone material to your jaw to restore volume lost from tooth extraction or prolonged tooth loss. This creates a solid foundation for dental implants (permanent tooth replacements). The procedure is routine, and we use 3D imaging to plan every case precisely.

What is a sinus lift?

A sinus lift creates more room in your upper jaw by gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing bone material beneath it. This is sometimes necessary before placing implants in the back of your upper jaw where bone density tends to be thinner.

When should wisdom teeth be removed?

We typically recommend removal when wisdom teeth are impacted, growing at an angle, causing crowding, or increasing your risk of infection. Not everyone needs them removed. We use CBCT 3D imaging to evaluate your situation and only recommend extraction when it’s clearly beneficial.

Can I be sedated during oral surgery?

Yes. We offer sedation dentistry options ranging from mild relaxation to deeper sedation, depending on the procedure and your comfort level. Our team monitors you throughout, and we discuss all options during your consultation so you feel confident going in.

What are zygomatic implants?

Zygomatic implants anchor into the cheekbone instead of the jawbone. They’re designed for patients with severe upper jaw bone loss who may not be candidates for traditional implants, even with bone grafting. This approach often eliminates the need for multiple grafting procedures.

How do I prepare for oral surgery?

We provide specific instructions based on your procedure and sedation plan. Generally, you’ll want to arrange a ride home, stock up on soft foods, and follow any fasting guidelines we give you. Our team walks you through everything ahead of time so there are no surprises.

What happens during my oral surgery consultation?

We start with a full examination including 3D scans of your jaw and facial structures. Then we review findings with you, explain the recommended procedure, and answer every question. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your treatment plan, timeline, and recovery process.
