Common Oral Surgery Procedures That We Perform

Root Canals

We perform root canals to save infected teeth. This treatment is needed when decay or injury reaches the pulp, the soft tissue inside the tooth. The infection causes pain, swelling, or even abscesses, but root canal therapy often provides immediate relief.

During the procedure, we carefully remove the infected tissue, clean and disinfect the inside of the tooth, and then seal it to prevent future issues. We usually place a dental crown on top to help strengthen and protect the tooth.

Tooth Extraction

Sometimes, a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be saved. In those cases, we’ll recommend an extraction to protect your overall oral health.

We perform most extractions in-office using our electrosurgery unit, which allows us to remove the tooth with greater precision and less trauma to the surrounding tissue. This advanced technique helps minimize bleeding and speeds up healing.

Dental Implants

Traditional dental implants are a reliable, long-term option for replacing missing teeth. They have two main pieces: a titanium post that we place into the jawbone and an abutment that we attach once the jaw has fully healed. We connect your new tooth to this abutment piece for a permanent solution to tooth loss.

This process takes several months but offers exceptional stability and function. We might recommend a dental implant when you need to replace a single tooth with a crown, multiple teeth with a bridge, or a full arch with a denture.

Mini Dental Implants

Mini dental implants are a less invasive alternative to traditional implants. They’re slimmer and made from a single piece of titanium, which we place into the jawbone through a small pilot hole. Thanks to their small size, mini implants are ideal for patients with less bone density who don’t qualify for traditional implants.

Because of their design, we can secure them in just one visit using a minimally invasive technique. As a result, healing is much faster and more straightforward. This makes them a great option for patients who are looking for more efficient and convenient tooth replacement.

We also recommend mini implants to patients who are medically frail, those wanting to avoid complex procedures, and anyone seeking more budget-friendly solutions that don’t compromise on quality.

Sinus Lifts and Bone Grafts

For traditional dental implants to succeed, you need to have enough strong, healthy bone in the jaw. If bone loss has occurred, we may recommend a bone graft or a sinus lift to rebuild the area before implant placement.

These procedures help create a solid foundation for the implant. While they add time to the overall treatment plan, they greatly improve the long-term success of your dental implant.

Fortunately, mini implants often don’t require these additional steps.

Laser Gum Disease Treatment

We use laser therapy to gently and effectively treat gum disease. If you’re dealing with bleeding gums, persistent bad breath, deep pockets between your teeth and gums, gum recession, or loosening teeth, we may suggest laser treatment. With a specialized dental laser, we can remove infected tissue and bacteria without cutting or stitches.

The laser targets only diseased areas, resulting in greater precision, less discomfort, and faster healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Recovery time depends on the type of surgery and your overall health, but most patients start feeling better within a few days. Simple procedures, like a basic extraction, may only take a couple of days to heal. More involved treatments, like traditional dental implant placement or bone grafting, take longer.

That said, we use gentle, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to speed up healing and reduce downtime. We’ll give you clear aftercare instructions and check in along the way to make sure everything’s healing properly. Our goal is always to help you recover quickly and comfortably.

The best thing you can do is follow your specific aftercare instructions closely. That means taking it easy, avoiding strenuous activity, and sticking to soft foods for a few days.

Keep the area clean (we’ll show you how), and be sure to take any medications as prescribed, even if you start to feel better. Additionally, avoid smoking, drinking through straws, or poking the surgical site. These small steps make a big difference in how quickly you heal.

And of course, if you have any questions or if something doesn’t feel right, give us a call.

Everyone’s experience is a little different, but most patients are surprised by how manageable the discomfort is, especially with the gentle techniques we use.

Before starting your treatment, we will fully numb the area. And, if you’re feeling anxious or need extra support, we offer sedation to help you relax.

After surgery, you might feel sore or swollen for a day or two, but it’s usually mild and short-lived. We’ll send you home with everything you need to stay comfortable. And if something feels off, we’re just a phone call away. Your comfort is our priority before, during, and after your procedure.
