Oral Surgery

Quiet Valley Dental offers surgical extractions in our office so that you can remain calm and comfortable for your procedure.

At Quiet Valley Dental, we offer several oral surgical treatments to help patients obtain a healthy and attractive smile that they deserve. It’s essential to choose a well-qualified oral surgeon when opting for procedures like dental implants, surgical extractions, or other oral surgical treatments. Our expert oral surgeon at Quiet Valley Dental has the necessary skills and training to perform many types of oral surgery. But there are some important details patients should know when considering oral surgery, including types of surgical procedures that we offer.

Wisdom teeth removal

Wisdom teeth usually emerge around the later teenage years and early 20s. Most individuals do not have enough room in their mouth for their wisdom teeth to erupt fully. Unfortunately, when this occurs, wisdom teeth often are impacted or erupt partially, which could lead to changes in tooth alignment, and gum infections. Therefore, wisdom teeth removal is often recommended for many individuals.

If you need to have your wisdom teeth removed, we recommend doing so even though they may not be bothering you because eventually, impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth could get infected and cause a great deal of pain if not removed. Quiet Valley Dental offers wisdom teeth removal by our on-site oral surgeon to make your procedure a breeze and reduce the risk of complications.

Surgical extractions

Tooth extractions are a common procedure and typically done by general dentists. However, the skill of an oral surgeon is sometimes needed when a tooth is positioned awkwardly in the jaw, or if the tooth is cracked, has had a root canal, or if the patient is apprehensive about their extraction. Additionally, a surgical extraction is recommended if the tooth is exceptionally difficult to remove or if there are other risks involved when removing it. Quiet Valley Dental offers surgical extractions in our office so that you can remain calm and comfortable for your procedure.

Dental implant placement

Placing dental implants requires the upmost precision so that the implant is placed at a precise length in the jawbone. If done incorrectly, the implant could perforate the sinus cavities (if placing an implant in the upper jaw) or risk implant failure. Additionally, the jaw has an intricate nerve system that could be compromised or damaged if the implant isn’t placed correctly and at the correct depth. At Quiet Valley Dental, our oral surgeon skillfully places dental implants to ensure precise depth and reduce the risk of implant failure and sinus cavity perforation.

Tori removal

Tori is excess bone that grows along the inside of the lower dental arch underneath the tongue. Tori formation can be genetic but can also be due to chronic teeth grinding or stress on the jaw. While tori are harmless, it can cause irritation and make wearing dentures difficult as the bone formation interferes with the denture resting on the jawbone’s ridge. At Quiet Valley Dental, we can use a dental laser to gently remove the boney growth. The dental laser used for this surgery is incredibly precise, which means we remove only the tori and preserve more of your natural jawbone. And laser oral surgery results in less bleeding and a quicker recovery.

IV sedation for oral surgery

At Quiet Valley Dental, we offer IV sedation for your oral surgery needs. Whether you’re undergoing a lengthy oral surgical procedure or are feeling anxious and fearful of your upcoming appointment, IV sedation ensures you experience a calm and stress-free treatment. IV sedation means that you will be asleep during your treatment, have little to no recollection of the procedure, and ensures you do not feel anything during your surgery.
