Local anesthetic ensures that oral surgery is painless and
comfortable. If you are one of the millions of Americans suffering from
dental anxiety, we also offer sedation to help you relax.
Patients with poor jawbone volume and quality may need bone grafts to support dental implants. Bone is usually taken from your chin, the back part of your lower jaw or your hip bone, but synthetic materials may also be used. The bone is then anchored to the implant site with titanium screws. Your bone marrow is mixed with bone-graft material to seal the block of bone, and a membrane is placed over the area. Finally, the incision is closed, and the area is allowed to heal completely (about 6-12 months) before the dental implants are placed.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Impacted wisdom teeth can cause pain, discomfort and damage to the surrounding area. Our oral surgeon can remove your impacted wisdom tooth while you are sedated. First, the surgeon makes an incision in the gums and removes the bone to expose the crown of the impacted tooth. The whole tooth is then extracted or removed piece by piece (for severely impacted teeth). Finally, the area is stitched closed and allowed to heal.Periodontal Bone Graft
