Comprehensive Oral Surgery Services
Tooth Extraction
Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures, ranging from simple removals to more complex surgical extractions. Our team takes time to explain your options, walk you through the process, and ensure you understand why an extraction is recommended—or if alternatives exist.
Simple Extractions: For teeth that can be easily removed with standard techniques and local anesthesia.
Surgical Extractions: Needed for impacted teeth, broken roots, or teeth that can’t be removed with simple methods. These may involve small incisions or sectioning the tooth for safe removal.
Atraumatic Techniques: We use tools and methods that protect bone and gum tissue for smoother healing and better future restoration options.
Socket Preservation: Bone grafting material may be placed immediately after extraction to maintain bone structure and support future implants.
Multiple Extractions: When several teeth need to be removed, we plan the sequence and timing to keep you as comfortable and functional as possible.
Healing Support: Clear aftercare instructions, medication guidance, and follow-up visits help prevent complications and support proper healing.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth often require specialized care due to their position and anatomy. They may become impacted, cause discomfort, or increase the risk of infection. Our advanced technology helps us plan the procedure precisely and safely.
3D Imaging: Allows us to evaluate tooth position, root shape, and nearby nerves or sinuses.
Impaction Evaluation: Helps determine complexity and estimate recovery needs.
Preventive Removal: Often recommended in teens or young adults when roots aren’t fully formed for easier healing.
Sedation Options: From nitrous oxide to oral sedation, we offer solutions to help you stay comfortable and relaxed.
Minimally Invasive Techniques: Designed to reduce tissue trauma, swelling, and recovery time.
Multiple Wisdom Teeth Removal: When needed, we can remove several at once to streamline your healing process.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting rebuilds lost bone and creates a strong foundation for implants, gum health, and facial support.
Autogenous Grafts: Your own bone is used for the highest level of compatibility.
Allografts: Donor bone that avoids the need for a second surgical site.
Xenograft & Synthetic Options: Safe alternatives that support new bone growth over time.
Socket Grafting: Placed immediately after an extraction to maintain bone volume.
Sinus Lifts: Add bone height in the upper jaw where implants might otherwise be impossible.
Ridge Augmentation: Restores the natural shape and size of the jawbone.
Guided Bone Regeneration: Uses membranes to protect the graft and promote optimal bone growth.
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF)
PRF uses your body’s own healing factors to speed recovery and enhance surgical outcomes.
How It’s Made: A small blood sample is spun to create a concentrated fibrin matrix rich in growth factors.
Healing Boost: These natural proteins help regenerate tissue, reduce inflammation, and improve blood flow.
Versatile Use: Applied as membranes, gels, or injections depending on the procedure.
Extraction Site Healing: Helps control bleeding, reduce pain, and preserve bone.
Bone Graft Support: Enhances graft integration and helps bone form faster.
Implant Success: Encourages quicker bonding between bone and implant.
Soft Tissue Recovery: Speeds healing after gum grafts and periodontal procedures.
