Preserve Your Dental Health, From Diagnosis to Aftercare
Surgical Care for Your Needs
Among the oral surgery procedures you can get in our office:
- Tooth Extractions
- Wisdom Teeth Removal
- Bone Grafts
Our dentists won’t consider an oral surgery procedure until they’ve given you a comprehensive exam, including digital X-rays, and discussed all your treatment options with you. We can show you exactly what is going on in your mouth with an intraoral camera so you’ll better understand the possible options.
We’ll schedule your procedure to allow ample time for recovery. We open early and stay open late, so you can choose the best time for your recuperation. You will need to take it easy for at least a few hours, possibly a few days. Our dentists will make sure you understand how to ease discomfort and explain any modifications you may need to make in your diet and oral hygiene routine.
Stay Comfortable & Relaxed
Our dentists will use local anesthesia to make sure you’re comfortable during your oral surgery procedure. You can also choose one of three types of dental sedation: inhaled sedation (“laughing gas”), oral sedation, or IV sedation. We can help you determine which level of sedation is appropriate for you.
We can also discuss possible teeth replacements after tooth removal, including dental implants. Our dentists may recommend a socket preservation procedure, where they will place material designed to increase bone growth at your extraction site. This will make it easier to receive teeth replacements when you’re ready.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery
There are several circumstances that might require oral surgery. If you or your loved one has a badly damaged or diseased tooth, it may need removal. Likewise, wisdom teeth often cause problems as they emerge and need to be extracted. Other procedures like bone grafts prepare for treatments such as dental implants.
Your insurance plan may cover part of your oral surgery. Our team will gladly work with your insurance company to maximize your benefits and reduce your contribution to your care. You may also want to check with your carrier to see what they will and won’t cover so there aren’t any surprises when it comes time to pay the bill.
For a healthy recovery, it’s best to ease slowly into exercise. You’ll want to avoid sports, workouts, and most other physical activity for the first 24 hours. Doing too much too soon can impede healing. For example, it can interfere with blood clotting. We recommend taking it easy for at least a few days.
