What is Oral Surgery?

Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction is the most common oral surgery procedure. You may need to have a tooth extracted if any of the following occur:
- Crowded teeth
- Severe tooth decay
- Gum disease (periodontitis)
- Trauma to the tooth
- Wisdom teeth issues
Tooth extractions can help prevent future issues with tooth decay or bone loss. We’re here to help you with tooth extractions and further treatment, such as dental implants.
Convenient Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth are the last to erupt in the mouth. They can sometimes cause pain or damage other teeth. Wisdom teeth can grow sideways, cause overcrowding for your teeth, or become impacted if they remain stuck beneath the gum and jawbone.
Because of their proximity to nerves in the jaw and sinuses, complications with your wisdom teeth can lead to significant pain and possible infection.
Wisdom teeth removal extractions can help you get back to normal, removing a source of pain and potential damage to your other teeth.
Dental Implants
Dentists use dental implants to repair teeth damaged by decay, disease, or injury. The implants provide foundations for replacement teeth feel, and work like natural teeth. Dental implant surgery allows you to eat what you like and confidently share your smile.
Looking to restore existing dental implants? We help rejuvenate the look and utility of existing dental implants so you can keep smiling with confidence.
Implant-Supported Dentures
After dental implants heal, they can support dentures, the long-lasting solution for treating several missing teeth. Implant-supported dentures provide a modern alternative to traditional dentures.
