Oral Surgery Procedures

Oral surgery encompasses a range of treatments addressing functional problems, preparing for restorative work, or improving oral health. Depending on your unique needs and goals, we can help you understand your treatment options and the steps to ease your anxiety. Common types of oral surgery procedures we perform include the following:

Tooth Extractions

One of the most frequently performed oral surgeries involves the removal of teeth that cannot be saved or are causing problems because they’re impacted, painful, or severely damaged. We may also extract teeth to create space for proper alignment during orthodontic treatment. Tooth extractions may be simple or surgical, depending on tooth position, root structure, and accessibility.

Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth, an issue that affects an estimated 178 million Americans. This solution uses small, metal posts to replace the tooth roots in the jawbone and restorations, such as crowns, bridges, and dentures, to fill the gaps in your smile. Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone to prevent future bone loss and provide a stable, secure result that feels natural.

Root Canal Therapy

If the inner tissue of your tooth, also called the pulp, is infected or damaged, a root canal can help relieve pain and preserve your natural tooth. During this procedure, we remove the damaged pulp, clean the tooth, shape the tooth canals to prepare them for filling, seal the canals with filling material, and place a crown over the tooth to prevent future damage.

Gum Contouring

Gum contouring reshapes gum tissue for functional or aesthetic purposes, including crown lengthening, gummy smile correction, uneven gumlines, and preparing the gums for crowns or veneers. This can help improve your smile’s appearance and health by making it easier to care for your teeth and gums.

How to Prepare for Oral Surgery

Proper preparation helps ensure successful outcomes for oral surgical procedures. Our knowledgeable team can help you understand what to do before your procedure and what to expect during recovery, so you can feel prepared and supported through every stage of your treatment.

Before Your Procedure

Before your oral surgery, you may complete any necessary testing, inform us about any medications you take and conditions you have, arrange for transportation to and from the surgery if needed, and follow fasting guidelines if they’re required. This helps the day of your procedure go smoothly.

What to Expect During Recovery

Recovery varies based on the specific procedure but generally includes a one to three-day healing period, possible swelling, gradual improvement over seven to 10 days, and complete healing over several weeks to months. Based on your specific treatment, we can review what recovery may look like so you can adequately prepare.

Post-Surgical Care

Proper aftercare is essential for optimal healing. We advise you to take all your prescribed medications as directed, apply ice to minimize swelling, follow dietary restrictions during the healing period if needed, and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor your progress.
