WISDOM TOOTH EXTRACTIONS

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often need to be removed because they do not have enough room to emerge or develop normally. Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, infection, damage to adjacent teeth, and other problems. We evaluate wisdom teeth with digital X-rays and 3D imaging to determine the best course of treatment. Wisdom tooth removal is one of the most common oral surgery procedures we perform.

BONE GRAFTING

Bone grafting is often necessary before dental implant placement to rebuild bone that has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. Using advanced grafting materials, we can regenerate bone tissue to create a stable foundation for your implant. Our team will discuss your bone grafting options and what to expect during the healing process.

YOUR COMFORT IS OUR PRIORITY

We understand that oral surgery can feel intimidating. We offer a range of anesthesia and sedation options to ensure your complete comfort during any procedure. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, answer all your questions, and provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a smooth recovery.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How long is recovery from oral surgery?

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Simple extractions typically heal within 1-2 weeks, while more complex procedures like implant placement or bone grafting may require several months for full healing.

Will oral surgery hurt?

You will receive anesthesia before the procedure so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Post-operative discomfort is normal and manageable with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication.

What can I eat after oral surgery?

Start with soft foods and liquids immediately after surgery. Avoid hot foods, hard or crunchy foods, and straws for the first few days.
