What is Surgical Dentistry?
Extractions
Extractions are performed to remove damaged, decayed, or impacted teeth that cannot be saved. Our team ensures a comfortable and stress-free experience, using advanced techniques to minimize discomfort and promote quick healing.
Mini Implants
For Lower Denture Retention
Mini implants provide a stable foundation for lower dentures, improving retention and comfort. These small, minimally invasive implants help keep your dentures securely in place, enhancing chewing function and overall oral stability.
Nitrous Oxide Gas
To help make your visit as comfortable as possible, we offer nitrous oxide gas, affectionately referred to as “laughing gas”. The gas is administered through a small mask placed over the nose. The patient then breathes through his or her nose and out through his or her mouth. The patient will begin to feel relaxed and comfortable between thirty seconds and four minutes, and the doctor can then, if necessary, administer the anesthetic, or injection.
The nitrous oxide is then turned off, and the patient breathes pure oxygen for five minutes, or until all effects of the sedation have been reversed. When finished the procedure, the patient can generally leave the office without an escort. Nitrous oxide does cause nausea in some patients. The nitrous oxide will not be used on patients with blocked nasal passages or those who are claustrophobic because it will not be effective.
