What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is a specialized branch of dentistry focusing on surgical treatments for various mouth, teeth, jaw, and facial issues. At Restoration Dental, our experienced dentists offer a range of procedures to restore your oral health and function. We perform extractions to remove problematic teeth, bone grafts to strengthen the jaw, and gum grafts to address recession. These and other oral surgeries are carried out with precision and care in our familiar, comfortable setting. Our team’s expertise ensures you receive comprehensive treatment tailored to your needs, all under one roof. Whether you require a simple extraction or a more complex procedure, we’re equipped to provide the expert oral surgical care you deserve.
Why Should I Get Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery may be necessary to address a variety of dental and maxillofacial issues that cannot be treated through non-surgical treatments. These procedures can help alleviate pain, restore proper function, improve aesthetics, and prevent future dental problems. Whether you need a tooth extraction, bone grafting to support dental implants, or soft tissue grafting to address gum recession, oral surgery can play a crucial role in maintaining and enhancing your oral health.

Our Surgical Procedures
Extractions
We offer a range of extraction techniques, from simple tooth removal to more complex surgical extractions. Our dentists use advanced techniques and materials to ensure a comfortable, efficient procedure and promote optimal healing.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is often necessary to provide a stable foundation for dental implants or to restore lost bone mass in the jaw. We offer a variety of grafting techniques, including sinus lifts, which involve adding bone to the upper jaw to support implants in the back of the mouth.
Gum Grafting
Gum grafting is a procedure used to treat gum recession, which occurs when the gum tissue pulls away from the teeth, exposing the roots. Our dentists use advanced techniques to transplant healthy gum tissue, restoring a healthy, natural-looking gumline.
PRP/PRF
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) are cutting-edge treatments that use the patient's own blood to promote healing and regeneration after surgical procedures. These treatments can help accelerate recovery, reduce discomfort, and improve surgical outcomes.

Our 3D printers allow us to create precise, customized surgical guides and dental models. This technology is particularly useful for planning and executing advanced surgical procedures, such as bone grafting and implant placements.
CBCT
Our state-of-the-art Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) scanner provides highly detailed 3D images of your teeth, jaw, and facial structure. This technology is essential for planning complex oral surgery cases, such as dental implant placement and jaw reconstruction.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We’ve got you covered.
When is bone grafting necessary before dental implant surgery?
Bone grafting is necessary before dental implant surgery when there isn't enough healthy bone in the jaw to support the implant. This can occur due to tooth loss, gum disease, or injury. At our practice, we use advanced imaging to determine if a graft is needed. If so, we employ minimally invasive techniques for bone grafting that maximize your comfort. Our approach ensures we add just the right amount of bone volume and density to your jaw, creating a strong foundation for the implant while minimizing recovery time and discomfort.
What is PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy in oral surgery?
PRP therapy is an advanced, minimally invasive technique we use to enhance healing in oral surgery. It involves taking a small sample of your own blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and then applying this platelet-rich plasma to the surgical site. This natural approach stimulates tissue regeneration and promotes faster healing with minimal discomfort. We often use PRP to improve recovery after tooth extractions, bone grafts, or gum surgeries. Our patients appreciate how this comfortable procedure can reduce pain, swelling, and recovery time while lowering the risk of complications.
How do I prepare for an oral surgery procedure?
To prepare for oral surgery at our practice:
- Follow our detailed pre-operative instructions, designed for your comfort and safety.
- Inform us about any medications you're taking and any medical conditions you have.
- Arrange for someone to drive you home after the procedure if you'll be receiving our gentle sedation options.
- Fast for the recommended period before surgery if instructed to do so.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing on the day of surgery.
- Avoid smoking for at least 12 hours before the procedure.
- Get a good night's sleep before your appointment.
- Prepare your recovery area at home with soft foods, ice packs, and any prescribed medications.
- Feel free to ask any remaining questions about our minimally invasive techniques or how we'll keep you comfortable during and after the procedure.
Our team is committed to making your experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible, from preparation through recovery.
Is an extraction painful?
At Restoration Dental, we prioritize your comfort throughout any oral surgery procedure. We offer various anesthesia and sedation to ensure that you remain comfortable and relaxed during your treatment. Our dentists use the latest techniques and technology to minimize discomfort and promote a smooth, efficient healing process.
How long does it take to recover from an oral surgery procedure like an extraction?
The recovery time following oral surgery varies depending on the specific procedure and the individual patient. Most of our patients report that they were able to return to normal activities or resume work the same day as the procedure, or the next morning. This is due to our minimally invasive approach that keeps your comfort in mind. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and be available to answer any questions you may have during your recovery.
Are there any risks associated with oral surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, there are some inherent risks associated with oral surgery. These may include bleeding, infection, nerve damage, or adverse reactions to anesthesia. However, at Restoration Dental, our skilled dentists take every precaution to minimize these risks and ensure a safe, successful outcome. Our state-of-the-art technology makes sure that we do not cause issues such as bleeding, infection, or nerve damage.
