Get the Procedures You Need for a Winning Smile

At West Union Dental Associates, we offer the best possible care to our patients. Our experienced team helps you feel relaxed and calm throughout your dental surgery. In addition to our sedation options, we use the latest technologies for a stress-free experience. Digital X-rays and 3-D technology help us plan your treatments. Laser treatment also makes procedures, such as extractions, go smoothly with minimal risk of post-operative infection. It’s our goal that you won’t need to visit an outside oral surgeon.

Depending on your unique needs, we may recommend these surgical procedures:

Tooth Removal – It’s never our goal to remove a tooth. We’ll try to repair it instead with a crown or eliminate infection with a root canal. However, if necessary, we’ll gently remove the tooth. Then we’ll discuss your replacement option. Teeth may also be removed to prepare you for dentures or to reduce overcrowding.
Wisdom Teeth Removal – If you are between 17 and 25, you have probably noticed signs of these third molars erupting. If needed, we’ll remove your wisdom teeth before they can harm your smile.
Bone Grafting – This procedure can make you a candidate for implants by adding bone to your jaw. You’ll need a solid foundation of bone to support your implants.
Ridge Augmentation – We’ll contour your gum and jaw to create a healthy base for implants.
Sinus Lift – It’s often necessary to make room in your upper jaw in preparation for implants. We’ll raise your sinus ridge and replenish any bone loss in the area.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery

When would I need oral surgery?

There are many situations where we may recommend oral surgery to improve your oral health. If a tooth is so damaged or diseased it can’t be repaired, you’ll need to have it removed. And we offer several oral surgery procedures to prepare you for successful dental implant placement.

When can I exercise after oral surgery?

You should not exercise at all for the first 24 hours after your surgery. Doing so could cause problems that prolong your healing. For example, strenuous exercise can loosen the blood clot on an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first day, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.

Is there much pain after oral surgery?

Your pain level will vary depending on the extent of your surgical procedure, your age, and your overall health. For some procedures, you may feel little or no pain as you recover. For more extensive procedures, you may have some soreness. In any case, we’ll provide guidance to help you minimize pain and soreness.
