Why might I need oral surgery?
We get it – the term “oral surgery” can sound serious, painful, and expensive. But that isn’t always the case. Many patients undergo oral surgery to address common conditions, such as sleep apnea or tooth loss. Oral surgery can provide a solution to long-standing dental issues and keep them from worsening in the future. Plus, opting into oral surgery restores the form and function of your mouth and sets your oral health back on track. It can be difficult to know if oral surgery is right for you, so reach out to your doctor to get the conversation started.
Thoughtful Treatment Planning
Every surgical procedure starts with a careful evaluation and a plan tailored to you. We take the time to understand your needs, walk you through your options, and map out treatment with comfort, function, and long-term results in mind.

The Oral Surgery Treatment Process
Treatment Planning & Preparation
Your oral surgeon will walk you through your treatment, the surgery related to the treatment plan, what to expect the day of the procedure, and how to prepare. They work with IV sedation and general anesthesia regularly and will recommend the right sedation option based on your surgery and personal needs.
Day of Surgery
You will need to arrange for someone to drive you to and from your appointment on the day of your surgery. Your oral surgeon will make specific recommendations, but you should plan for a day off and have someone be with you for the rest of the day after your surgery.
Healing & Aftercare
Give yourself a few days to heal after surgery. Swelling and discomfort for the next 24 hours is normal. Keep your head elevated and use ice packs to reduce swelling. Take any medications as directed by your oral surgeon. And stick to a soft food diet for the first 48 hours after surgery.
What makes us different
Smoothing and shaping for better care
Alveoloplasty is a gentle procedure to reshape the jawbone after extractions or in preparation for dentures or implants. By smoothing the bone, we create a healthier, more functional foundation that makes future treatment more precise and comfortable, improving both fit and long-term results.
Restoring balance for your bite
Sometimes your bite doesn’t come together perfectly, which can cause discomfort, uneven wear, or jaw strain. We carefully evaluate your occlusion and provide precise adjustments to restore balance, reduce tension, and protect your teeth for long-term health. Every adjustment is tailored to your individual needs for comfort and function.
Supporting healthy foundations
When your jawbone needs reinforcement to support future dental work, bone grafts provide a safe and effective solution. This procedure helps rebuild lost or weakened bone, ensuring your teeth and implants have a strong, healthy foundation. We use modern techniques to make the process as predictable and comfortable as possible.
Soothing Sedation Options
You deserve to feel relaxed and pain-free throughout your visit. That’s why we offer a variety of sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience.
