Dental surgery is needed when there is disease, damage or injury, or disorders of the teeth, gums, and surrounding soft tissues. Often procedures are done in an outpatient surgery center or hospital because general anesthetic is required, along with a short recovery period. Highly trained surgeons and OR staff like those at our facility can help to ensure a successful surgery.

Many dental surgeries or injury repair require a stillness and cooperation that can be hard to come by with small or nervous children, and a highly trained surgeon like those are our facility and OR staff can help to ensure a successful surgery for your child.
There are many reasons one may need dental surgery. Accidents like falls can cause teeth to loosen or break, requiring surgery to either re-implant the tooth or to stabilize the tooth; or an accident may cause a person to become injured around lips, gums, or cheeks. Infections or abscessed teeth may require surgery as well to either extract a sick tooth or to repair an infected or abscessed area.
Dental Surgery can include procedures such as:
- Dental implants
- General extraction and wisdom teeth extraction
- Jaw Surgery
- Repairing facial trauma
- Prosthetic implants
