Tailored Oral Surgical Treatments
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions, a routine oral surgery procedure, are performed right in our office. Our team will gently remove the tooth during the tooth extraction procedure, minimizing disturbance to the surrounding bone and gum tissue. With our expertise and precision techniques, we strive to make the tooth extraction process as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a specialized treatment to replenish bone levels in the jaw, often necessary due to ongoing bone loss caused by missing teeth. During the procedure, bone is sourced from the patient or a donor and placed at the site of bone resorption to support dentures or dental implants. Following placement and suturing, the area requires several months to heal and allow integration between the bone grafting material and jawbone.
Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implants are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth, consisting of the post, abutment, and restoration. The implant post is surgically placed into the jawbone to provide a sturdy anchor for a new tooth or teeth. Advanced techniques, such as CT-guided technology, ensure precise placement during modern dental implant surgery. Immediate loading of a temporary restoration may be an option for eligible patients, enhancing the efficiency of the treatment process.
Ridge Augmentation
In cases of receding or deteriorating bone or gum tissue in specific areas, we may recommend a ridge augmentation or preservation procedure to restore the jawline and gum line. These procedures are usually performed under anesthesia and are tailored to rebuild the tissue’s shape to its natural state.
Sinus Lift
If insufficient bone is present in the upper jaw for dental implants, a sinus lift or sinus augmentation procedure may be necessary. This involves lifting the sinus floor to a more favorable position, encouraging natural bone growth.
