Oral Surgery

Oral surgery includes a wide range of procedures that treat conditions affecting the teeth, gums, jawbone, and surrounding structures. Common treatments include wisdom tooth removal, dental implant placement, bone grafts or sinus lifts to rebuild support, and procedures to address infections, cysts, or facial trauma. These services help remove disease, restore lost tissue, and prepare your mouth for long-term function and aesthetics. Unlike general dentistry, oral surgery often uses advanced imaging (such as CBCT), specialized instruments, and sedation options to keep you safe and comfortable. Your care plan is tailored after a thorough exam and medical review, and we coordinate closely with your restorative dentist when implants, crowns, or dentures are part of the goal. From pre-op instructions to post-op follow-up, our team is trained to handle complex cases while prioritizing your comfort, healing, and overall health.

One of the most common oral surgeries we perform is wisdom tooth removal. These third molars often lack space to erupt, causing pain, crowding, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. At Family Smile Centers, we perform simple and impacted extractions in-office and use advanced imaging to plan a treatment tailored to you.

Knowing when to remove wisdom teeth can prevent unnecessary discomfort and long-term complications. Common signs include:

If you’re experiencing these symptoms or have been advised to remove your wisdom teeth, we’re here to help you through the process.

Dental implants require a strong, healthy jawbone for long-term success. Unfortunately, patients who have experienced tooth loss or advanced periodontal disease may suffer from bone loss that limits implant placement. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that restores bone volume, creating a stable foundation for implants.

Our team performs bone grafts using safe, biocompatible materials and advanced surgical techniques. The graft material integrates with your existing bone over time, allowing for secure implant placement later on.

Different situations call for different grafting methods. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best approach based on your anatomy and treatment goals.

Bone grafting is a crucial step for many implant patients, and our team is skilled in helping you regain the structure you need for a strong, lasting smile.

Receding gums can expose tooth roots, increase sensitivity, and put your oral health at risk. Gum grafting is a soft tissue surgery that rebuilds lost gum tissue and protects vulnerable areas of your teeth. This procedure not only restores your gumline but can also improve the appearance of your smile.

Our oral surgery team performs gum grafting with precision and care, using tissue from the roof of your mouth or donor material to strengthen and reshape the affected areas.

These procedures can enhance both the health and aesthetics of your smile, particularly if you’re planning cosmetic or restorative treatment.

At Family Smile Centers, we’re proud to provide trusted in-office oral surgery today—and we’re actively working to expand these services in the future through a partnership with a dental anesthesia group. This will allow us to perform a wider range of procedures and offer enhanced sedation options for patients with more complex needs. Every case begins with a thorough consultation—reviewing your health history, digital imaging, and a clear plan for timing, cost, and recovery—so you feel prepared and supported. If you’ve been told you need oral surgery—or think you may—our team is here to guide you with clarity, compassion, and confidence. We’ll coordinate with your general or restorative dentist as needed and help you take the next step when you’re ready.
