No being sent across town to a stranger. Your surgery happens right here, with the people who already know you.
Most general dental practices refer their patients out for oral surgery. When you come to us, you stay with us. Same office, same team, no chasing down referrals or starting over with a stranger.
Common reasons patients come in for oral surgery:
Removal of impacted or problematic wisdom teeth, including those that haven't broken through the gum.
Removal of teeth that are too damaged, broken, or rooted in too deep for a regular extraction.
Surgical placement of dental implants, the first step in restoring missing teeth.
Adding bone to your jaw when there isn't enough to support an implant. Often done before implant placement.
Helping a tooth that's stuck under the gum come into place, often as part of orthodontic treatment.
Cyst removal, biopsy of unusual mouth tissue, and treatment of jaw infections. If you're not sure, call us.

If you've been told you need oral surgery somewhere else and want a second opinion, give us a call. We're happy to take a look.
Oral surgery costs vary widely depending on the procedure. We'll always give you a clear price up front so you know exactly what to expect.
You shouldn't feel pain during the procedure. We use thorough local numbing for every surgery so the area is fully numb before we begin. After surgery, you'll have some soreness for a few days, and we'll give you a clear plan to manage it.
We hear you. Most patients are nervous about oral surgery, and we don't rush. We'll explain everything before we start, check in with you during the procedure, and take pauses if you need them. Many patients tell us afterward that it was easier than they expected.
It depends on the procedure. A simple wisdom tooth extraction may have you back to normal in a few days. A larger surgery like a bone graft can take a couple of weeks of careful eating. We'll give you a realistic timeline.
Not always. If your wisdom teeth are coming in straight, have room, and aren't causing problems, sometimes they can stay. We'll be honest with you about whether removal is actually needed.
Yes. Because we use local numbing only, you'll be alert and safe to drive home after the procedure. Your mouth will be numb for a few hours, so plan to wait before eating.
Yes. Having a dedicated oral surgeon on staff means we handle most cases in-house that other general dental offices have to refer out. If your case requires a hospital setting for any reason, we'll let you know.
