Wisdom Teeth Removal
Prevent crowding, pain, and future complications with expert wisdom tooth removal in a safe, supportive setting. We utilize advanced imaging and techniques to ensure a smooth recovery.
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth extraction is necessary to improve your oral health or bring you closer to your dream smile, our oral surgeons offer both simple and surgical tooth extraction options tailored to your needs.
Single Dental Implants
The gold standard in tooth replacement, dental implants can replace one or more missing or damaged teeth, blending perfectly alongside your natural teeth and restoring bite strength, comfort, and a full confident smile.
Impacted Canines
When a canine tooth doesn’t erupt on its own, our oral surgeons work with your orthodontist to uncover and guide it into place to restore proper alignment and a confident, full smile.
Bone Grafting
Strong foundations build lasting smiles. Our bone grafting and sinus lift treatments restore lost bone and create the support needed for successful dental implants and long-term oral health.
Oral Pathology
Our oral surgeons use advanced pathology screenings, comprehensive exams, and biopsies to diagnose and treat oral abnormalities to give you clear answers and peace of mind.
