We are blessed being the Best of the West Oral Surgery Center, and I think it’s a testament to how we provide a service to our patients that more often than not, get, kind of, a bad rap through friends, movies. And my main objective is to provide a service that normally is scary, and can leave nightmares, to something that, like, “Hey, it wasn’t as bad as what everybody was telling me about.” And I love it when a patient comes in after the two-week mark and they’re like… And so, if I can provide that service, where it’s not as scary as it was, and it wasn’t as bad as what everybody was telling them, then I feel like I’ve just elevated our professional standard of care.
Find Many Dental Surgery Options at Our Practice
There are many reasons for oral surgery. Whether you are a young adult getting your wisdom teeth removed or you’re an older adult in need of implants, you’ll find the options you need for your smile. We start out by getting panoramic X-rays and 3-D scans to get a clear image of the inside of your mouth. Then your dentist will discuss the surgical procedures you may need and what you can expect.
You may receive treatments such as:
- Tooth Extractions – Teeth may need to be removed to prepare your mouth for braces or dentures or to remove infected or severely damaged teeth.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – While not everyone has issues with their wisdom teeth, they can cause problems if they are impacted or crowding other teeth. Dr. Everett will gently extract your third molars, if needed, so your smile remains in good shape.
- Ridge Augmentation – When you’ve lost significant bone density due to tooth loss or other factors, this procedure recreates the natural contours of your jaw. It’s often used to prepare you to receive dental implants.
- Sinus Lifts – We offer minimally invasive options to create room in your mouth for implants, particularly in the upper jaw.
- Gum Grafts – We use tissue from your own mouth, synthetic tissue, or donor tissue to replace lost gum tissue and restore your gumline.
- Bone Grafts – We’re certified in S.M.A.R.T. bone grafting, a minimally invasive procedure to regenerate bone in your jaw to prepare you for implants.
Trust your smile to the hands of our experienced team! We ensure the healing process following your procedure goes smoothly with the help of PRF (Platelet Rich Fibrin). Created used a small sample of your own blood, this substance speeds up healing and reduces discomfort following surgery.
You’ll also benefit from our modern practice that is always striving to make your procedures easier and more precise. During your surgical procedure, you’ll discover we use the latest in dental technology. For example, panoramic X-rays and 3-D imaging to get a clear image of the inside of your mouth. This allows your dentist to fully understand what’s going on with your teeth and plan precise procedures.
