Oral surgery is an integral part of general dentistry, encompassing a variety of procedures that help maintain and restore oral health.  Oral surgery is focused on addressing common dental concerns such as tooth extractions, infection management, and gum health.

Your dentist may recommend oral surgery when other non-invasive treatments are not sufficient. Common indicators for oral surgery include:
 

• Severe tooth decay requiring extraction

• Impacted or overcrowded teeth affecting alignment

• Gum disease that has led to significant tissue or bone loss

• Persistent oral infections or abscesses

• Jawbone deterioration that affects tooth stability

• Oral lesions requiring further diagnosis and removal

A detailed assessment with X-rays or 3D imaging to evaluate your oral health.

Most procedures are performed with local anesthesia, though sedation may be available for patient comfort.

Conducted in a controlled, sterile environment to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Includes pain management, recovery instructions, and follow-up visits to monitor healing.

If you are experiencing dental issues that may require oral surgery, our team is the best first point of contact. They can assess your needs, discuss treatment options, and determine whether the procedure can be performed in their office or if a referral to a specialist is necessary.
