Keep Your Smile in Top Condition With Dental Surgery

Oral surgery might sound daunting, but it doesn’t have to be. Dr. Anderson only recommends surgery when it’s truly needed, such as for stopping infections or preparing for implants. He also takes a holistic approach that considers your overall health, not just your teeth. You’ll be in good hands as our team works together to improve your oral health.

Your surgical options include:

  • Tooth Extractions – Sometimes a tooth needs to be removed to protect your overall oral health. During the extraction procedure, with local anesthesia you won’t feel anything at all. Afterward, our team will provide detailed care instructions to ensure quick healing.
  • Cosmetic Gum Surgery – This procedure can prepare you for procedures such as dental crowns or veneers or make too-short teeth look longer. Dr. Anderson can carefully reshape the gumline to reveal more of your natural teeth.
  • Ridge Augmentation – After tooth loss, your jawbone can weaken or become misshapen. A ridge augmentation rebuilds the bone, creating a strong foundation for implants or dentures. The process can significantly improve your oral function.
  • Bone Grafts – When jawbone density is too weak for implants, a bone graft can help. Dr. Anderson will add bone material to strengthen your jaw. This procedure will ensure your implants have a solid base.

If you feel nervous, our practice has sedation options including laughing gas, oral sedation, and IV sedation. For oral or IV sedation, you will need to arrange for a ride home. Cozy amenities such as blankets, pillows, headphones, and blackout glasses are also available to make you feel at home.
