Our Practice Provides

A Range of Oral Surgery Options

If you’re questioning whether reconstructive dentistry is worth it, we’ll leave that up to you to decide. When you opt to restore your smile, you will experience some amazing benefits. See how your life will change.

Dental Implants

Small titanium posts surgically inserted into your jawbone to support restorations like dental crowns, dentures, and fixed bridges. In optimal conditions, crowns or bridges can be placed immediately on the implants.

Minimally Invasive Surgery

We prioritize a minimally invasive approach to surgery, preserving surrounding tissue and bone for better recovery outcomes.

Pathology

If you have suspicious growths in the jaw or mouth, we can perform biopsies to determine the nature of the cells and recommend an appropriate course of action.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Many adults require the removal of wisdom teeth due to size constraints in the mouth, which can lead to periodontal disease or decay.

Coronectomy

For impacted teeth with healthy roots, we may perform a coronectomy to reduce severity and complications during extraction.

Grafting

Bone grafting is essential for patients needing dental implants, as it restores lost bone to create a stable foundation, improving treatment outcomes.

Teeth in a Day

Experience revolutionary care with our same-day dental implants service, allowing you to replace missing teeth quickly and achieve a complete smile.

Surgical Orthodontics

For jaw shape issues that hinder proper tooth positioning, surgical orthodontics helps move both bone and teeth into alignment.

Tooth Extractions

We handle all types of tooth extractions, including those affected by severe decay or gum disease.
