Oral Surgery

It’s estimated that over half of adults will require oral surgery depending on the severity of their oral condition. Oral surgery focuses on the use of surgical instruments to carry out effective treatment. At Vernor Dental Care, our goal is to keep you safe and comfortable throughout the procedure.

X-Rays and Imaging

Our state of the art 2D and 3D x-ray scans and imaging are used to get an in-depth look inside your mouth and teeth. By taking all-around images of your teeth, this helps our team determine a surgical guide before the procedure, diagnosing TMJ disorder, and precise dental implant placement.

Soft Tissue Surgery

If you have a “gummy” smile, soft tissue surgery is needed to make your gums appear more aesthetically pleasing. This is also a special method to reshaping your gums and partaking in crown lengthening techniques.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

The human mouth can only accommodate 28 adult teeth. The wisdom teeth are the last four back teeth to erupt in the mouth. If tooth alignment is not affected, an extraction may not be needed. However, if your wisdom tooth is impacted, extraction will be necessary.

We will numb the affected area with local anesthesia and make a small incision into your gums. The wisdom teeth will be removed, and the extraction site will be sutured.

Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas)

Nitrous oxide is an odorless, colorless gas that puts patients in a relaxed state. We use this frequently with oral surgery so you can feel at ease during your surgical procedure. The laughing gas is administered through a face mask and we advise arranging for someone to take you to and from the office.
