We know surgical procedures can feel intimidating, so we take extra care to explain each step and keep you comfortable throughout treatment.
Our Oral Surgery Services
Oral surgery covers a range of procedures for more complex dental needs, including:
- Surgical Tooth Extractions — Removing teeth that are impacted, broken, or too damaged for a simple extraction
- Wisdom Tooth Removal — Addressing impacted or problematic wisdom teeth before they cause further issues
- Bone Grafting — Rebuilding jawbone density to prepare for dental implants or support overall oral health
- Pre-Prosthetic Surgery — Preparing the mouth for dentures, implants, or other restorative work
Signs You May Need Oral Surgery
A few common indicators that surgical treatment may be necessary include:
- A tooth that's too damaged or decayed to be saved with a filling or crown
- Impacted wisdom teeth causing pain, crowding, or infection
- Insufficient jawbone to support a dental implant
- Chronic infection or abscess that hasn't responded to other treatment
- Structural issues that need correction before other restorative work

FAQs About Oral Surgery
Will I be sedated for oral surgery?
We offer nitrous oxide and other comfort options to help you feel relaxed during your procedure. Your dentist will discuss the best option for your specific treatment and comfort level.
How long is recovery after oral surgery?
Recovery time varies depending on the procedure, but most patients feel significantly better within a few days and are fully healed within a couple of weeks. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions for your specific case.
Do all wisdom teeth need to be removed?
Not necessarily. Some wisdom teeth erupt properly and cause no issues, while others become impacted or crowd nearby teeth. We'll evaluate your wisdom teeth with imaging to determine if removal is recommended.
Why would I need bone grafting before an implant?
If your jawbone has lost density due to missing teeth or gum disease, bone grafting helps rebuild a strong foundation so a dental implant can be placed securely.
Do you accept my dental insurance for oral surgery?
We accept a wide range of insurance providers, including AlwaysCare Benefits, Ameritas, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Florida Blue, Guardian, and MetLife. Contact our office to confirm your specific coverage.
