What does oral surgery involve?
Dr. Lavin performs tooth extractions, bone grafting, and other surgical procedures—such as gingivectomies—using minimally invasive techniques that promote greater comfort and support faster healing.
Tooth Extractions
Oral surgery may be necessary to address a variety of dental concerns, including severe tooth decay, impacted wisdom teeth, advanced gum disease, or dental trauma. It may also be recommended to prepare for dentures or to support orthodontic treatment. In these situations, oral surgery helps alleviate pain, prevent infection, correct alignment issues, and support long-term oral health. At Lavin Family Dental, Dr. Lavin carefully evaluates all treatment options before recommending surgery and provides a thorough consultation to determine the best plan for your needs.
There are two main types of oral surgery:
-
Simple Extractions: These are performed on teeth that are fully visible and accessible. The procedure involves gently loosening the tooth with specialized instruments and removing it under local anesthesia.
-
Surgical Extractions: These more complex procedures address teeth that are impacted or difficult to access. They may require small incisions or the removal of bone to safely extract the tooth. Depending on the complexity, local or general anesthesia may be used.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore or rebuild areas of the jawbone that have been lost due to tooth extraction, trauma, or gum disease. This treatment is often essential for patients planning to receive dental implants but who do not have enough healthy bone to support the implant. During the procedure, Dr. Lavin places bone material in the affected area to stimulate new bone growth. Over time, the graft integrates with your natural bone, creating a strong and stable foundation for future dental work. Bone grafting not only restores function but also enhances aesthetics and supports the long-term success of dental implants and other restorative treatments.
