What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery refers to specialized procedures that treat issues involving the teeth, gums, jaw, or surrounding tissues. These treatments may be recommended to:

Remove impacted or damaged teeth
Treat infections or abscesses
Prepare your mouth for implants or dentures
Restore oral function and comfort
Relieve pain and prevent further complications

Our team provides oral surgery with compassionate care, modern tools, and a patient-first approach—so you feel at ease every step of the way.

Oral Surgery Services We Offer

Tooth Extractions

If a tooth is too damaged to save—or causing crowding or discomfort—we may recommend a gentle extraction. This includes:

Severely decayed or broken teeth
Overcrowded teeth
Baby teeth that haven’t fallen out
Teeth causing orthodontic issues

We use numbing and sedation options to ensure a pain-free experience.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth often emerge in the late teens or early 20s. When they don’t have enough room to grow in properly, they can cause pain, swelling, or infection.

We offer safe, efficient wisdom tooth extractions for teens and adults.

Surgical Tooth Exposure

For impacted teeth (especially canines), we may need to uncover them surgically to assist with orthodontic treatment.

Bone Grafting

If bone loss has occurred due to gum disease or missing teeth, bone grafting can restore jaw strength—especially for patients preparing for dental implants.

Soft Tissue Surgery

We perform minor gum procedures to remove excess tissue, reshape the gumline, or treat persistent infections.
