Our Oral Surgery Services
Implant Placement
Dental implants represent the pinnacle of tooth replacement technology. Ideal for patients missing one or more teeth, implant placement involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for artificial teeth that look, feel, and function like natural ones.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift is often necessary when there's insufficient bone height in the upper jaw, or the sinuses are too close to the jaw, for dental implant placement. This procedure involves elevating the sinus membrane and adding bone graft material to ensure a successful implant.
Bone Grafts
Bone grafting is crucial for patients with bone loss who wish to get dental implants. By transplanting bone tissue, we can enhance the jawbone's density and volume, creating a solid foundation for implants and improving facial structure.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is beyond repair, surgical extraction becomes necessary. Our team performs surgical tooth extractions with precision and care, ensuring patient comfort throughout the process and discussing replacement options, such as dental implants, to preserve your smile's integrity.
Periodontal Surgery
For advanced gum disease not responsive to non-surgical treatments, periodontal surgery may be recommended. Our procedures aim to restore gum health, addressing issues like deep pockets and tissue damage, to prevent tooth loss and improve oral hygiene.
Biopsies
Oral biopsies are essential for diagnosing conditions affecting the mouth's soft tissues, including oral cancer. Our skilled surgeons perform biopsies with minimal discomfort, providing accurate diagnoses and appropriate treatment plans.
