Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Services We Offer

Surgical Tooth Extractions

Some teeth require surgical removal because they are broken below the gumline, impacted, or difficult to access.

We carefully plan our surgical extraction procedures with advanced imaging to minimize discomfort and promote efficient healing.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth are often impacted or emerge at improper angles, leading to pain, infection, crowding, or damage to surrounding teeth.

Removing wisdom teeth before complications develop can help preserve your long-term oral health.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting rebuilds areas of jawbone loss caused by tooth loss, trauma, or periodontal disease. A dentist may recommend bone regeneration before placing dental implants or to maintain facial structure.

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants provide one of the most reliable long-term solutions for replacing missing teeth.

The surgical placement of implants creates a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures while helping preserve jawbone health.

Oral Biopsies

Persistent sores, lumps, or unusual tissue changes should never be ignored.

An oral biopsy allows suspicious tissue to be evaluated so appropriate treatment can begin as early as possible.

Surgical Management of Oral Infections

Severe infections sometimes require surgical drainage or removal of infected tissue to prevent further spread.

Prompt treatment protects your overall health and reduces the risk of complications.

What to Expect During Oral Surgery

Every patient receives a personalized treatment plan. Your appointment typically includes:

Comprehensive Evaluation

We perform a complete examination using digital X-rays and advanced diagnostic imaging.

Treatment Planning

You’ll receive a detailed explanation of your diagnosis, recommended procedure, anesthesia options, expected recovery, and estimated timeline.

Comfortable Surgical Care

Our team focuses on making every procedure as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

Recovery Instructions

You’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions designed to support healing and minimize complications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need oral and maxillofacial surgery?

You may need oral surgery if you have an impacted tooth, a badly damaged tooth, jawbone loss, a mouth or jaw injury, an oral infection, or need dental implants. A comprehensive examination can determine the best treatment option.

Is oral surgery painful?

Modern anesthesia and sedation techniques help make oral surgery much more comfortable than many patients expect. Mild soreness afterward is normal and can usually be managed with medication and proper aftercare.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery varies depending on the procedure. Many patients return to normal activities within a few days after simple procedures, while more complex surgeries may require several weeks of healing.

Can I drive home after oral surgery?

If you receive sedation beyond local anesthesia, you’ll typically need someone to drive you home following your procedure.

Is oral surgery covered by insurance?

Many oral surgery procedures are partially covered by dental insurance when considered medically necessary. Our team can review your benefits and explain your estimated out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
