Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures and may be necessary for several reasons. Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically emerge between the ages of 17 and 25. However, they often don’t erupt properly and can lead to complications such as crowding, infection, or damage to nearby teeth. For these reasons, wisdom teeth are frequently removed to protect your overall oral health.
Tooth extractions may also be necessary when a tooth is severely damaged due to decay, advanced gum disease, or trauma. In these cases, removing the tooth and replacing it with a dental implant or another prosthetic may be the best way to restore both function and appearance.
Extractions can also be part of a larger treatment plan. For example, patients undergoing orthodontic care may need teeth removed to create space and improve alignment. Similarly, some restorative treatments—like full or partial dentures—require extractions to ensure a proper and comfortable fit.
If you’re considering dental implants but have experienced bone loss in your jaw, a bone graft may be the first step toward restoring your smile. Tooth loss can weaken the jaw over time, but a bone graft helps rebuild that foundation so it’s strong enough to support an implant.
During the procedure, we gently open the gums and place bone graft material—usually in the form of granules or powder—into the affected area. As your body heals, your natural bone integrates with the graft, reinforcing the jaw and making it ready for long-term implant success.
Alveoloplasty is a procedure used to prepare your mouth for dental implants, dentures, or other prosthetics. After tooth extractions, the jawbone may have uneven or sharp ridges that can interfere with the fit and comfort of your restoration.
At Evolve Dentistry, Dr. Onwu uses precise dental instruments to gently smooth these areas, creating a more even surface for your prosthetic. This ensures a secure, natural-looking fit—and sets the stage for long-term comfort and success.
Oral surgery may be necessary to address certain complex dental issues, but it’s typically reserved for cases where less invasive treatments aren’t sufficient. Whether or not surgery is the right solution depends on your specific needs and overall oral health.
At Evolve Dentistry, Dr. Rodney Onwu takes a personalized approach. During your comprehensive exam and consultation, he’ll walk you through all of your options—both surgical and non-surgical—so you can feel confident moving forward with the care that’s best for you.
Recovery time depends on the type of oral surgery you’ve had, but it’s common to experience some swelling, soreness, and temporary limitations with eating or speaking. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you manage discomfort and support a smooth, speedy recovery.
Pain is carefully managed with local anesthesia during your procedure to keep you comfortable. After surgery, we’ll provide pain relief recommendations or medications as needed. While some soreness is normal during recovery, it’s typically mild and manageable with proper care.
If you’re dealing with issues like advanced decay, infection, impacted teeth, or significant bone loss, When less invasive treatments aren’t enough, oral surgery may be the most effective way to restore your oral health.
Yes, dental surgery is generally safe when performed by a skilled and experienced professional. As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks involved, but we’ll walk you through everything beforehand and ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable every step of the way.
Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.
