Common Reasons for Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is often required to resolve dental health issues, improve function, and enhance the appearance of your smile. Here are some of the most common reasons why patients seek oral surgery:

- Impacted Teeth: Removal of teeth that have not erupted properly, such as wisdom teeth.
- Jaw-Related Issues: Correcting jaw irregularities that affect speech, chewing, and overall function.
- Advanced Periodontal Disease: Surgical treatments to restore gum health when non-surgical methods are not enough.
- Dental Injuries: Repairing facial trauma and tooth damage to restore function and aesthetics.

Our Oral Surgery Services
We provide a range of advanced oral surgery services designed to restore and enhance your oral health:
Implant Placement
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Our expert team places implants with precision to ensure a secure, natural-looking foundation for your new teeth.

If there is insufficient bone height in your upper jaw, a sinus lift can raise the sinus floor, creating a stable environment for dental implants.

For patients with bone loss, bone grafting is essential to rebuild jawbone density, improving the success of dental implants and enhancing facial aesthetics.
Surgical Tooth Extractions
When a tooth is damaged beyond repair, a surgical extraction may be necessary. Our team performs extractions with care and discusses replacement options to preserve your smile.
Periodontal Surgery
For advanced gum disease that requires more than just deep cleaning, periodontal surgery can restore gum health and prevent further damage, preserving your teeth.
Biopsies
If there are concerns about soft tissue in your mouth, we can perform biopsies to diagnose and address oral health conditions with accuracy and care.
