Precision & Care for Your Oral Health
If you’re dealing with a dental issue that requires surgical care, our team is here to help. From tooth extractions to bone grafting and soft tissue procedures, oral surgery can correct problems and set your smile up for long-term health.
Preventive Dentistry​​
Advanced gum disease can cause tooth loss, gum recession, and infection if left untreated. Pocket reduction surgery removes bacteria trapped between the gums and tooth roots, helping to halt disease progression and protect your smile.
How pocket reduction surgery helps:
-
Reduces deep gum pockets that trap bacteria
-
Prevents further gum and bone deterioration
-
Supports long-term oral health
If you have advanced periodontal disease, this procedure can help preserve your teeth and gums.
Bone Grafting
​
When a tooth is missing for too long, bone loss can make it difficult to place dental implants. Bone grafting restores lost bone, creating a strong foundation for future tooth replacement.
How bone grafting helps:
-
Strengthens the jawbone for implant placement
-
Prevents further bone deterioration
-
Expands tooth replacement options
If you’re considering dental implants but have bone loss, a grafting procedure may be the first step toward restoring your smile.
​Tooth Extractions
While we always aim to preserve natural teeth, some cases require extraction to protect overall oral health. Whether due to severe decay, crowding, or infection, we perform gentle, precise extractions to minimize discomfort.
Common reasons for extractions:
-
Severely decayed or infected teeth
-
Teeth that are overcrowded or impacted
-
Baby teeth that haven't fallen out properly
We offer sedation options to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.
​Crown Lengthening
​
If you feel self-conscious about a gummy smile or need more tooth exposure for a restoration, crown lengthening can help. This procedure removes excess gum tissue to create a balanced, more even smile while also preparing teeth for crowns or other restorations.
​
Benefits of crown lengthening:
-
Enhances smile aesthetics by reshaping the gum line
-
Helps prepare teeth for dental crowns or fillings
-
Improves overall gum health
Soft Tissue Grafting
Gum recession can lead to tooth sensitivity, an uneven gum line, and increased risk of decay. Soft tissue grafting restores the gum line, preventing further deterioration while improving comfort and smile appearance.
Why consider soft tissue grafting?
-
Covers exposed tooth roots to reduce sensitivity
-
Prevents further gum recession and protects teeth
-
Enhances smile symmetry and overall gum health

Oral Biopsies
​
If you’ve noticed an unusual lump, sore, or lesion in your mouth, an oral biopsy can help detect potential concerns early. Early detection is key to effective treatment, especially for oral cancer and other abnormalities.
When to consider an oral biopsy:
-
Persistent sores that don’t heal
-
Unexplained lumps or changes in gum tissue
-
White or red patches inside the mouth
Biopsies provide peace of mind and allow for proactive care if needed.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions
Wisdom teeth removal is a common procedure, but proper technique matters. Our team specializes in complex extractions, ensuring a safe and comfortable experience.
Why remove wisdom teeth?
-
Prevents overcrowding and misalignment
-
Reduces the risk of impaction and infection
-
Avoids cysts, swelling, or jaw pain
If your wisdom teeth are causing discomfort or alignment issues, we can evaluate whether removal is necessary.
Tori Removal
Excess bone growth, known as tori, can interfere with speech, bite alignment, and restorative treatments like dentures or implants. Tori removal eliminates discomfort and improves oral function.
When is tori removal recommended?
-
If tori cause pain or irritation
-
When they interfere with dentures or implants
-
To improve bite alignment and overall comfort
This simple procedure can help prevent long-term oral health complications.
Frenectomies
If your child is having difficulty breastfeeding, speaking, or eating, a frenectomy may be needed. This procedure removes restrictive tissue in the mouth, improving mobility and function.
How a frenectomy helps:
-
Improves breastfeeding success for infants
-
Enhances tongue and lip movement
-
Supports better speech development
Frenectomies are quick, minimally invasive, and often provide immediate results.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth while also preventing bone loss—something no other replacement option can do.
​
Why choose dental implants?
-
Long-lasting, durable, and secure
-
Preserves jawbone structure and prevents bone loss
-
Restores full function for eating and speaking
Implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth, giving you a strong and confident smile.
