Surgical Dentistry Services

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 For Surgical Procedures

To ensure a comfortable and stress-free visit, we offer nitrous oxide sedation, commonly known as “laughing gas.” This mild sedative is delivered through a small mask placed over the nose, allowing the patient to inhale the gas while exhaling through the mouth. Within 30 seconds to four minutes, a sense of relaxation and ease sets in, making it easier for the doctor to proceed with treatment, including administering local anesthetic if needed.

Once the procedure is complete, the nitrous oxide is turned off, and the patient breathes pure oxygen for about five minutes to fully clear the sedation effects. Most patients can resume their normal activities without requiring an escort. While generally well-tolerated, nitrous oxide may cause nausea in some individuals and is not suitable for those with nasal congestion or claustrophobia, as it may not be effective in these cases.
