Stay With Your Dental Home for Surgical Care
When you need a surgical procedure, you may prefer to stay with the team you already know and trust. Our in-house specialists perform a wide range of oral surgery procedures, so you don't have to visit an outside office. After a detailed exam, we'll recommend the most appropriate treatment for your needs.
Surgical options may include:
- Tooth Extraction - We remove severely damaged or infected teeth to protect your overall oral health or to prepare you for dentures or implants. This protects your surrounding teeth, prevents the spread of infection, and creates a healthier foundation.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal - When third molars become impacted, partially erupted, or cause crowding, we safely remove them to prevent pain, infection, and shifting teeth. Early removal can help you avoid more complex issues later.
- Ridge Augmentation - If your jawbone has lost its natural contour after tooth loss, ridge augmentation rebuilds its shape and strength. This procedure improves both appearance and stability, especially when preparing for dental implants.
- Sinus Lift - A sinus lift adds bone beneath the sinus area in the upper jaw. This creates the height and density needed to securely place dental implants in areas with limited bone.
- Bone Grafting - Bone grafting strengthens areas of bone loss by adding supportive material that integrates with your jawbone. It restores stability and makes long-term implant success possible.
- Gum Grafts - Gum grafting restores lost tissue and protects your smile. Our periodontist can restore receding gums using donor tissue or your own tissue. It will improve comfort, health, and appearance.
Whenever possible, we focus on saving your natural tooth. Our endodontist, Dr. Angelidis, will evaluate whether a root canal can preserve your tooth before extraction is considered.
If implant preparation is required, Dr. Jivraj recommends surgery only when absolutely necessary. He is a respected authority in implant dentistry and authored a textbook used by thousands of dentists worldwide. He uses advanced implant techniques that can lessen the need for grafting.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery
What does oral surgery include?
Oral surgery includes procedures that treat complex dental issues involving the teeth, gums, and jawbone. This can include tooth extractions, wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, sinus lifts, ridge augmentation, and gum grafts. These treatments help restore oral health, relieve pain, and prepare your mouth for restorative solutions like dental implants.
When is a tooth extraction necessary?
A tooth extraction may be necessary if a tooth is severely infected, damaged beyond repair, or putting nearby teeth at risk. While saving your natural tooth is always the goal, removal can sometimes protect your overall oral health and prevent the spread of infection or further complications.
Will I be comfortable during oral surgery?
Yes, your comfort is a priority during oral surgery. We use advanced technology for precise treatment and offer multiple sedation options, including general anesthesia when appropriate. These options help reduce anxiety, minimize discomfort, and create a smoother surgical experience from start to finish.
