Restore Your Smile’s Health, Function, & Beauty

There are many reasons why surgery might be a necessary part of your dental care. Your dentist may suggest it if you are interested in implants and don’t have enough bone strength to support them. Or if you have an infection, a tooth removal can save your smile and stop other teeth from becoming infected. We also have solutions if you want to restore your gum’s appearance.

Whatever the reason, your dentist will begin with a thorough exam. Our team will gather information about your smile with our digital X-rays and CBCT technology. This allows us to plan your procedure precisely, ensuring everything goes smoothly. Fortunately, you won’t have to visit an outside oral surgeon, as we perform numerous procedures right here in our practice.

Your surgery options include:

  • Tooth Extractions –  Your dentist may suggest a tooth extraction, due to severe dental damage, serious infection, or to prevent overcrowding. This procedure can stop your pain, prevent the spread of infection, and create space for your custom restorations.
  • Cosmetic Gum Surgery – Cosmetic gum surgery, also known as gum contouring, reshapes the gum line to improve the appearance of a “gummy” smile or uneven gumline. This procedure can enhance the overall beauty of your smile by creating an even balance between your teeth and gums.
  • Ridge Augmentation – If you have had tooth loss or an extraction, a ridge augmentation rebuilds the bony area of your mouth that supports your teeth. By restoring the natural contour of the gums and jaw, this procedure creates a foundation for dental implants or other tooth replacement options.
  • Sinus Lifts – For implants in your upper jaw, you may need a sinus lift. This procedure adds bone to the upper jaw, so your mouth has room for implants. That way, even if you’ve had bone loss in the area, you can still have implant-supported restorations.
  • Gum Grafts – Gum grafting takes gum tissue from areas of your mouth, a donor, or synthetic tissue, and moves it to another area where the gums have receded. This treatment can protect exposed tooth roots from further problems. You’ll also improve your smile’s appearance.
  • Bone Grafts – If you have bone loss in your jaw, bone grafting adds bone to the jaw to increase its volume and density. Your dentist may recommend treatment before dental implant placement to ensure there is sufficient support.
