Dental Surgery Supports Long-Term Health
Surgical treatment can restore function, relieve discomfort, and enhance your overall oral health. Our office offers treatment options to address different needs.
Your dentist performs many tooth extractions, often to prevent infection and protect neighboring teeth or when a tooth is too badly damaged for restorative care. You can also get wisdom teeth extraction, if needed. Removing third molars can prevent discomfort, overcrowding, or other dental concerns.
If you are getting dental implants, your dentist may recommend ridge preservation or bone grafting. A bone graft reinforces your jawbone to provide a stable foundation for implants. Ridge preservation is a more extensive procedure to rebuild the natural shape of the jawbone and gums following tooth loss.
If you want to change the appearance of your gumline – either by addressing recession or removing excess gum tissue – your dentist can perform gum reshaping. Both types of surgery can enhance the balance and aesthetics of your smile.
