Surgical Dentistry
There are times when routine care isn’t enough. A tooth may split under an old filling, or infection may reach the bone. That’s when surgical dentistry steps in. It sounds serious, and yes — it deserves respect — but most treatments are simpler than people imagine.
Every plan starts with a calm talk. The dentist explains what’s happening, shows you images, and lays out a few options. You get time to think. We don’t rush that part. Once you’re ready, we map everything out — scans, instruments, anesthesia — and move at a measured pace.
Typical procedures include:
Extractions. Removing a tooth that can’t be saved so nearby tissues stay healthy.
Implant placement. Setting the base for a replacement tooth that feels secure again.
Bone grafting. Rebuilding jaw strength where bone has thinned over time.
Soft-tissue repair. Adjusting gums so they heal evenly and protect the roots.
During surgery you’re kept comfortable — local freezing, sedation if you need it, small breaks to check in. Most people leave saying it was easier than they expected.
Healing matters as much as the procedure. We give you written steps and simple home advice — what to eat, how to clean, when to call. Usually, swelling fades within a few days, and by the next week, you’re back to normal routines.
What surprises many patients is how these small interventions prevent bigger issues later. A strong foundation means fewer emergencies, steadier chewing, better sleep. Surgical dentistry is the quiet work behind every stable smile.
Dental Implants
Losing a tooth changes more than just your smile. It can make chewing uneven, speech a bit off, and even shift the teeth beside the empty space. Dental implants help bring balance back. They act like the root of a natural tooth, supporting a crown that looks and feels real.
All-On-4 Dental Implants
When many teeth are missing, dentures can only do so much. They slip, shift, or just never feel quite right. All-on-4 implants change that. With four carefully placed implants, a full arch of teeth can stay locked in place — no movement, no gaps, no adhesives.
Dental Bridges
When a tooth goes missing, even one, it changes how your mouth feels. You chew differently. Food catches where it didn’t before. Over time, other teeth start to drift. A dental bridge fills that space, bringing things back into balance.
Inlays and Onlays
When part of a tooth breaks down, there are two common paths — fix what’s left or cover it completely. Inlays and onlays sit right in the middle. They strengthen the tooth without removing more enamel than necessary, giving you back both function and comfort.
Dental Bonding
Sometimes a tooth just needs a touch-up. Maybe it chipped on a fork, or a small space has always bothered you. Dental bonding is a quick, comfortable way to fix those small details without major dental work.
Dentures
Losing teeth changes things. Food tastes different. You chew on one side more. Sometimes you catch yourself hiding your smile. Dentures help you get back to living without thinking about it so much.
