Oral Surgery Procedures We Offer
We provide a range of procedures to address pain, restore function, and prepare the mouth for long-term restorations. Our approach emphasizes gentle, precise treatments and straightforward recommendations based on your health and goals.
- Teeth extractions, including difficult broken-root removals.
- Wisdom teeth removal for teens and adults.
- Bone grafting to rebuild bone before implants.
- Implant placement and implant site preparation.
Each procedure includes a treatment plan tailored to your needs and an explanation of alternatives. We schedule same-day appointments when possible and explain each step so you feel in control.
What To Expect During Your Visit
We begin with a focused exam, digital X-rays, and an intraoral scan when needed. We discuss findings and review anesthesia choices, from local anesthetics to sedation options. During the procedure, we work efficiently and monitor you closely. Aftercare instructions arrive verbally and in writing, so you leave confident in the next steps.
Before any procedure, we review your medical history and medications. We will not perform treatments without answering your questions about comfort or timing. Have dental anxiety? Ask about our weighted blankets and music options—many patients find them helpful.
How We Use Technology For Better Outcomes
Our use of CBCT Scanner, digital impressions, and intraoral cameras lets us plan with clarity. We view the jawbone in three dimensions, which helps place implants accurately and design bone grafts that fit your anatomy. Digital X-ray and panoramic X-ray reduce exposure and speed diagnosis. Laser dentistry and soft-tissue lasers can help reduce bleeding and improve healing in the right cases.
Technology shortens procedure time and improves predictability. It also lets us show you images and walk through the plan. You leave with real information, not guesswork.
Recovering After Surgery: Tips And Timeline
Recovery varies by procedure, but most patients follow a predictable pattern. Pain peaks in the first 24–48 hours and then eases. Swelling may increase for two days and fade over a week. For bone grafts and implants, healing continues for months while bone integrates.
Helpful tips:
- Rest and avoid strenuous activity for 48–72 hours.
- Use ice on the cheek for the first 24 hours, then switch to warm compresses.
- Take prescribed pain medicine and follow wound-care instructions.
- Eat soft, nutritious foods and stay hydrated.
If you notice heavy bleeding, fever, or severe pain that changes suddenly, call our office. We provide clear emergency instructions and same-day appointments when problems arise.
Common Questions Patients Ask
Will extraction make my other teeth shift? Not when we replace the space promptly. Can I have implants after wisdom teeth removal? Often yes; we plan timing to protect bone and soft tissue. How long does bone grafting take to heal? It varies, but many grafts integrate in three to six months. We answer these questions with concrete timelines and show imaging to explain your case.
We focus on honest guidance and practical solutions. You’ll get a written plan, expected timeline, and a follow-up schedule so progress stays on track.
