When restorative care isn’t enough, dental surgery at West County Dental offers solutions for serious problems. Our team helps patients overcome painful conditions, structural issues, and functional limitations through advanced surgical care.
Today’s surgical advances mean less pain and better results for you. We use the latest technology to make your visit as smooth as possible.
Your comfort matters at every step. Your dentist starts with a talk about what you need. We answer your questions in plain language. Depending on your situation, we may suggest one of these surgical procedures:
- Tooth Extractions – When decay or damage is too severe, your dentist safely removes the problem tooth or teeth. This eliminates pain and protects your surrounding healthy teeth from further issues.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – Troublesome third molars can be removed before they cause crowding or pain. This preventive approach helps maintain your dental alignment and prevents future complications.
- Sinus Lifts – For patients needing upper jaw implants, we carefully add bone material to create adequate support. This procedure makes implant success possible even if you’ve suffered bone loss.
- Bone Grafts – We strengthen areas of weakened jawbone with specially processed bone tissue. This rebuilds your foundation for dental implants and improves overall jaw structure.
- Ridge Augmentation – This surgery is similar to a bone graft, but it involves more extensive restoration of your jaw ridge.
- Gum Grafts – To address receding gums, your dentist places healthy tissue over exposed tooth roots. This procedure stops further recession while protecting sensitive areas from decay and sensitivity.
- Cosmetic Gum Surgery – We precisely reshape uneven or excessive gumlines to create balanced proportions. This enhances your smile’s appearance while maintaining healthy gum function. Your dentist can also perform a pinhole procedure, a less invasive alternative to a graft, to address gum recession.
Our team provides personalized aftercare instructions, effective pain management options, and scheduled check-ups to monitor your progress. The improvements from oral surgery often last for decades with proper dental care.
