Receive Painless Tooth Removal or Surgery to Repair Your Jawbone & Gums

A tooth can sometimes be saved with a root canal treatment. If we do have to extract your tooth, it will likely be due to severe infection, trauma, or extreme damage. In the case of wisdom tooth removal, yours may need to be extracted because they pose a threat to the appearance or health of your smile.

Whatever the reason for your tooth removal, you can rely on Dr. Moore and our team to perform your procedure quickly and comfortably. Before we begin, we’ll make sure the area is fully numb and that you feel nothing.

Below are several other types of oral surgery we perform:

• • Bone Graft – The loss of a tooth often leads to bone loss. A bone graft is commonly performed when your jawbone is not substantial enough to support a tooth implant. The graft will stimulate new bone growth.

• • Gum Graft – When your gums recede, they expose the roots of your teeth and increase risk of infection. This can lead to chronic bad breath and even tooth loss. Gum recession is often treated using a gum graft. This procedure is similar to a bone graft but is done when you need to build up your gum tissue.

• • Ridge Augmentation – Your gums are naturally a certain height and width. Following tooth extraction or to prepare your mouth for a dental implant, your dentist might suggest a ridge augmentation to rebuild the shape of your gum and bone around your empty socket.
