Oral Surgery
Expert Oral Surgery Care
Advanced surgical care for your oral health
As a specialty practice, we provide the expert surgical care you need while honoring your relationship with your general dentist. We view your dentist as your dental home and work as their partner, coordinating every step of your procedure. Our oral surgery services range from wisdom teeth removal to complex bone grafting, all performed in a safe, comfortable environment. We use advanced 3D imaging for precise planning and offer a full spectrum of sedation, including in-office general anesthesia. Our unique approach ensures your surgical experience is professional, comfortable, and seamlessly integrated with your overall dental care.
Biopsies
Expert Diagnosis of Oral Abnormalities
If you or your dentist notices any unusual lesion, lump, or discoloration in your mouth, an oral biopsy is the most effective way to get a definitive diagnosis. Our experienced surgeons perform this procedure by carefully taking a small sample of the affected tissue. This sample is then sent to a specialized pathology lab for expert analysis. We handle this sensitive procedure with the utmost professionalism and care, ensuring your comfort. This diagnostic step is essential for early detection and for creating the right treatment plan for your specific needs.

Tooth Extractions
Specialized Care for Tooth Removal
While our goal is always to save natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the best option for your overall health. We perform surgical extractions of teeth that are severely damaged, infected, or impacted. As a specialty practice, we are equipped to handle even the most complex cases with precision and care. We prioritize your comfort above all else, offering a complete range of sedation options to alleviate anxiety. Our professional team ensures the procedure is efficient and comfortable, and we will coordinate directly with your referring dentist for your future restoration.
Socket Preservation
Maintain Your Jaw's Shape and Density
Socket preservation is a proactive surgical step performed immediately after a tooth is extracted. Its purpose is to protect the jawbone from the natural shrinkage that occurs after tooth loss. We carefully place a sterile bone grafting material into the empty socket. This graft acts as a scaffold, encouraging new bone growth and preserving the natural contours of your jaw. This simple, effective procedure prevents the "sunken-in" look, maintains the health of the site, and makes any future restorative work, such as an implant, more straightforward and successful.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Safe, Comfortable Wisdom Tooth Surgery
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often cause problems when they are impacted, growing in sideways, or crowding other teeth. Our specialty team performs safe and comfortable wisdom tooth removal to prevent future pain, infection, and damage to your bite. We use advanced cone beam computed tomography 3D imaging to precisely map the tooth's position near nerves and sinuses. To ensure a stress-free experience, we offer a full range of sedation dentistry, from oral conscious sedation to in-office IV sedation and general anesthesia, allowing you to rest comfortably throughout the entire procedure.

Frenectomies
Expert Treatment for Tongue and Lip Ties
A frenectomy is a simple oral surgery procedure that corrects a tongue-tie (ankyloglossia) or lip-tie. These conditions are caused by a frenum—a small band of tissue—that is too thick or tight, restricting normal movement. In infants, this can interfere with breastfeeding, while in older children and adults, it can affect speech, alignment, and gum health. Our surgeons perform this quick and precise procedure to release the tension, improving oral function and comfort. We provide a comfortable, caring environment for patients of all ages undergoing this common and effective treatment.
Canine Exposure
Guiding Impacted Teeth into Place
Canine teeth are essential to your bite, but sometimes they fail to erupt, remaining impacted in the jawbone. In these cases, we perform a surgical canine exposure, a procedure that is closely coordinated with your orthodontist. Our surgeon carefully exposes the hidden tooth and, in many cases, bonds a small orthodontic bracket to it. This allows your orthodontist to then gently guide the tooth into its proper position over time. This collaborative surgical and orthodontic approach is a safe and effective way to save the tooth and achieve a healthy, functional smile.
Bone Grafting
Rebuilding Your Jaw's Natural Structure
Bone grafting is a surgical procedure used to rebuild or repair the jawbone. This may be necessary after a traumatic injury, tooth extraction, or as a result of advanced periodontal disease. Our specialists use advanced techniques to add volume and density to the bone, creating a stable and healthy oral foundation. We use a variety of safe, sterile grafting materials to stimulate your body's natural regenerative process. This surgical procedure is often essential for restoring the structural integrity of your jaw, preparing it to support future dental work.
Sinus Lift
Specialized Surgery for the Upper Jaw
A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a specialized oral surgery procedure performed when the upper back jaw has insufficient bone height. This is often due to the natural size and position of the maxillary sinus. During this procedure, our surgeon skillfully accesses the sinus cavity and gently lifts the membrane. A bone graft is then placed in the newly created space. This increases the amount of available bone, providing the necessary support for future restorations and ensuring the long-term stability of dental work in the upper arch.
Guided Bone & Tissue Regeneration
Surgical Regeneration of Bone and Gums
Guided bone and guided tissue regeneration are advanced surgical techniques used to restore oral structures. When bone or gum tissue is lost, we use special biocompatible membranes during surgery. This membrane acts as a barrier, protecting the area and allowing the body's natural healing process to work more effectively. It guides the growth of new bone or ligament tissue while preventing faster-healing soft tissue from filling the space. This specialty procedure is crucial for repairing damage from disease or injury and rebuilding a healthy foundation for your smile.
Ridge Preservation
Maintain Your Jaw's Natural Contours
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone (the alveolar ridge) naturally begins to shrink or recede. Ridge preservation is a proactive surgical procedure designed to counteract this process. By placing a specialized bone graft into the site, we maintain the natural height and width of the jawbone. This is crucial for your long-term oral health, as it prevents a sunken appearance and ensures a stable, healthy foundation. This procedure is especially important for creating an ideal site for any future dental work, ensuring the best possible aesthetic and functional results.
Ridge Expansion
Creating Space for Future Restorations
A ridge expansion is an oral surgery procedure performed when the jawbone is too narrow to support dental work, such as future implants. This often happens after a tooth has been missing for a long time. Our specialist surgeon carefully and precisely expands the ridge, creating a wider, more stable base. A bone graft is then placed within the newly created space to generate new, strong bone. This advanced surgical technique is essential for restoring the natural contours of your jaw and building the robust foundation required for long-term dental health.
Sedation Dentistry
Your Comfort During Oral Surgery
We understand that oral surgery can cause anxiety. Your comfort and safety are our highest priorities. As a specialty practice, we offer a complete spectrum of sedation options to ensure you are comfortable and at ease during your procedure. These options range from nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral conscious sedation to IV sedation and in-office general anesthesia for more complex procedures. Our experienced team will conduct a thorough review to help you select the safest, most appropriate level of sedation for your specific surgical needs.
