From simple extractions to implant placement and bone grafting — surgical care performed gently, in the office you already know and trust.
Oral surgery covers procedures that go beyond drilling and filling: removing teeth, rebuilding bone, and placing implants. Our surgical care includes tooth extractions, implant placement, and bone grafting for appropriate cases. We explain the treatment and estimated costs, and coordinate specialist care when that is appropriate.
An examination and appropriate imaging help us assess the area and plan your procedure. We explain any imaging arrangements and treatment timing before care begins.
We use local anesthetic and check your comfort before beginning. Nitrous oxide is available when appropriate. Oral and IV conscious sedation may be appropriate; we confirm the comfort plan before treatment.
The procedure and timing depend on your treatment. You may feel pressure or movement; tell us if you feel discomfort so we can pause and adjust.
You leave with simple written instructions and our number. We explain follow-up and when to return to work, exercise, and your usual diet based on your procedure.
Some wisdom teeth remain healthy and can be monitored. Removal may be recommended when they cause problems or pose a significant risk to nearby teeth or tissues. An examination and appropriate imaging help us assess the options and timing.
Where a tooth needs replacing, we’ll discuss the options and timing before extraction. Some extractions, including wisdom teeth, do not require replacement. Options may include an implant, bridge, or partial denture. We’ll also explain whether socket preservation grafting is appropriate.
Some swelling and soreness can occur after treatment. Follow your aftercare instructions and ask which pain relief is appropriate for you. Protect the healing blood clot: no straws, smoking, or vigorous rinsing for the first several days. Following your aftercare instructions helps support healing and reduce complications. Persistent or worsening pain after day three? Call us — that's what we're here for.
