Need oral surgery in Pendleton? Pendleton Smiles is your trusted, top-rated family dentist, offering a selection of surgical procedures in addition to our comprehensive dental services for the entire family. If your smile needs oral surgery to restore your oral health or prepare you for a future procedure, like dental implant placement, our team is here for you, offering compassionate care in a comfortable environment.
We perform a variety of surgical procedures right here in our office, so you can receive all the care you need from a team you trust. Our selection of in-house oral surgeries includes:
Tooth Extractions
While our goal is always to save your natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is necessary. This may be due to severe decay, advanced gum disease, a tooth that is too broken to be repaired, or to prepare your mouth for orthodontic treatment. We perform extractions with the utmost care, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Tori Removal (Torectomy) and Exostoses Removal
Tori and exostoses are harmless, bony growths that can develop on the upper or lower jaw. While usually benign, they can interfere with denture placement, affect speech, or create discomfort. Our dentists can safely remove these growths to improve your oral function and comfort.
Alveoplasty
Alveoplasty is a surgical procedure to smooth and reshape the jawbone, often after multiple extractions. It creates a smooth and even surface, which is essential for ensuring a proper, comfortable fit for dentures.
Ridge and Socket Preservation
After a tooth is extracted, the jawbone can begin to resorb, or shrink, over time. Ridge and socket preservation are procedures that help maintain the bone volume and width of the socket. This is a crucial step if you plan to get a dental implant or a bridge in the future, as it provides a strong foundation for the restoration.
Bone Grafting
When there is insufficient jawbone to support a dental implant or other restoration, bone grafting is often necessary. This procedure involves adding bone material to the jaw to stimulate new bone growth. This strengthens the jaw and creates a solid, healthy foundation for your future dental work.
Your Comfort is Our Priority
We understand that the thought of oral surgery can be intimidating. Our team at Pendleton Smiles is here to ensure your experience is as comfortable and stress-free as possible. We use advanced techniques and provide a range of sedation options to help you relax during your procedure. We'll also provide you with clear, detailed aftercare instructions to promote a smooth and speedy recovery.
