Enhance Your Smile and Oral Health with Precise and Comfortable Oral Surgery Procedures

While we try to minimize surgical procedures with minimally invasive treatments like fillings, root canals, and crowns, sometimes oral surgery is necessary. Here are reasons you may need it.

• Missing teeth: Several options can replace missing teeth, but none gets close to dental implants. These advanced dental restorations are durable, stable, and look like natural teeth. Placing dental implants involves surgery, where the dentist places a biocompatible titanium post precisely in the jawbone. 
• Impacted wisdom teeth: Your wisdom teeth are the last to emerge, and often, there isn’t always enough space for healthy eruption. As a result, wisdom teeth may remain partially or completely trapped (impacted) in the jawbone. The dentist performs surgical extraction to remove the ingrown tooth to prevent infections, oral pain, and other health complications. Surgical extractions are also ideal for teeth broken at the gum line level.
• Bone loss: Your jawbone can degrade for several reasons, including tooth loss, advanced gum disease, and dental trauma. Bone grafting is a surgical procedure that augments your jawbone to restore height and width. 

The thought of surgery might invoke dread and anxiety about the unknown—particularly for those who have never undergone a surgical procedure before. Listen, friend. Oral surgery isn’t something to worry about in our office. Dr. Stucki combines a personal touch with cutting-edge technology to ensure your surgical procedure is streamlined and painless. 

Here are reasons you can relax about your upcoming surgical procedure.

• Effective anesthetics: Our office numbs your mouth with potent anesthetics that take effect within minutes and remain effective throughout your procedure. Our doctor delivers local anesthetics with a computer-guided wand-like device, maximizing precision and safety. 
• Sedation dentistry: Many patients only need anesthetics, but we understand patients are different. If you are apprehensive about your treatment, we can help you remain calm with sedation dentistry. 
• Cutting-edge technology: Our office has invested in cutting-edge technology, such as the Solea Laser, Kodak 9600 3D machine, and modern radiographs, to administer treatments with precision and care. These technologies reduce time in the dental chair and allow for quick recovery. 

We don’t only ensure your comfort during surgical procedures. After treatment, our team will provide post-op instructions to ensure a seamless recovery. Medications and home remedies like ice packs, rest, and dietary changes minimize pain, infections, and other discomforts.
