Advanced Dental Surgery Options

No one wants to have surgery, but when it’s absolutely necessary, our team is fully equipped to provide the specialized treatment you need and restore the health and strength of your mouth. Our goal is always to treat the problem effectively while keeping you comfortable and informed every step of the way.

Tooth extractions are performed when a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or compromised to be restored, or when removing a tooth is necessary to protect overall oral health.

How the procedure is done: The area is first numbed to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. For a simple extraction, the tooth is gently loosened and removed. In more complex cases, such as impacted or broken teeth, a surgical extraction may be required, where the gum tissue is carefully opened to access and remove the tooth. After removal, the area is cleaned and, if needed, sutured to support proper healing.

Benefits of tooth extractions:

  • Eliminates pain and infection
  • Prevents damage to surrounding teeth
  • Supports overall oral health
  • Creates space for orthodontic or restorative treatment

Bone grafting is performed to rebuild or strengthen areas of the jaw where bone has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma, helping restore a stable foundation for teeth and future treatments.

How the procedure is done: The area is numbed to ensure comfort, and a small incision is made in the gum to access the underlying bone. The site is thoroughly cleaned before bone grafting material is carefully placed in the area of bone loss. This material acts as a scaffold, allowing new bone to regenerate over time. The gum tissue is repositioned and secured to support proper healing.

Benefits of bone grafting:

  • Restores lost bone volume and density
  • Creates a strong foundation for dental implants
  • Helps prevent further bone loss
  • Supports long-term oral health and function

An oral biopsy is a procedure used to remove a small sample of tissue from the mouth so it can be examined more closely. It may be recommended if you have a sore, lump, patch, or other area in the mouth that does not heal, changes in appearance, or looks unusual during an exam. The goal is to identify the cause and determine the right treatment plan as early as possible.

How the procedure is done: The area is numbed to ensure comfort, and a small sample of tissue is carefully removed for examination. The procedure is quick and minimally invasive, and in some cases, a stitch may be placed to aid healing. Most patients experience only mild soreness or tenderness for a few days and can return to normal activities shortly after.

Benefits of oral biopsies:

  • Allows for early detection of abnormalities
  • Provides an accurate diagnosis
  • Guides effective treatment planning
  • Minimally invasive with quick recovery

Sinus lifts are performed to rebuild bone in the upper back jaw when there is not enough height to support dental implants, often due to missing molars or natural bone loss. This procedure creates a stable foundation for successful implant placement.

How the procedure is done: A cone beam CT scan is used to evaluate the sinus and existing bone for precise planning. During the procedure, the sinus membrane is gently lifted, and bone grafting material is placed between the upper jaw and the sinus cavity to increase bone volume. In some cases, a dental implant can be placed at the same time. The area is then allowed to heal as new bone develops.

Benefits of sinus lifts:

  • Restores bone height for dental implants
  • Improves long-term implant success
  • Supports proper function and stability
  • Typically involves minimal postoperative discomfort

Why Choose a Periodontist for Oral Surgeries?

Oral surgery involves more than addressing a single concern—it requires a deep understanding of the gums, bone, and supporting structures that keep your smile healthy and functional. A periodontist is uniquely trained to manage these complex areas, making them especially well-suited for surgical procedures involving the soft tissue and bone of the mouth.

Periodontists receive advanced, specialized education beyond dental school that focuses exclusively on diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the gums and underlying bone. This expertise allows them to perform oral surgeries with precision, planning each procedure to protect surrounding structures and promote long-term oral health. Whether surgery is needed to treat periodontal disease, prepare for future restorations, or correct structural concerns, a periodontist approaches care with a holistic understanding of your mouth.

Choosing a periodontist for oral surgery also means your treatment is guided by careful evaluation and advanced imaging. We used technology to guide us to a better result for your surgeries.

Recovering From Oral and Gum Surgery

Following post-surgical instructions closely helps protect the treated area and supports healthy tissue regeneration. We recommend that you:

  • Rest and Protect the Area: Plan to rest for the remainder of the day following surgery. Avoid strenuous activity for several days, as increased blood flow can disrupt healing. Do not touch or disturb the surgical site, and avoid pulling on the lips or cheeks to look at the area.
  • Manage Swelling and Discomfort: Mild swelling and tenderness are normal after oral surgery. Applying a cold compress to the outside of the face in short intervals during the first 24 hours can help reduce swelling. Any prescribed or recommended medications should be taken exactly as directed.
  • Be Mindful of Eating and Drinking: Stick to soft foods and avoid chewing near the surgical area while it heals. Lukewarm foods are ideal, and drinking through straws should be avoided, as suction can interfere with healing. Staying hydrated is important, but alcohol should be avoided during recovery.
  • Maintain Gentle Oral Hygiene: Keeping your mouth clean is essential, but brushing and flossing should be done carefully around the surgical site. If a rinse is recommended, use it as directed to reduce bacteria without irritating healing tissues.
  • Follow Up as Recommended: Attending follow-up visits allows your provider to monitor healing and address any concerns early. If you experience increasing pain, swelling, or unusual symptoms, contact the office promptly.

Ongoing Care After Treatment

Following periodontal surgery, ongoing care is essential to maintain results. We will create a personalized periodontal maintenance plan that may include more frequent cleanings and at-home care instructions to keep your gums healthy and disease-free.
