Our Oral Surgery Treatment Options
Extractions
Tooth extractions at Waterford Dental are performed with a focus on patient comfort and efficiency. Whether it’s due to severe decay, damage, crowding, or impacted wisdom teeth, our doctors use advanced techniques to make the procedure as smooth and pain-free as possible. We offer personalized aftercare instructions to promote quick healing and minimize discomfort. With gentle, precision-based approaches, we ensure minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, supporting a healthy recovery and helping to preserve jawbone health for future dental needs.
Crown Lengthening Surgery
Crown lengthening is a procedure designed to expose more of the tooth’s surface by reshaping gum tissue and, in some cases, underlying bone. This treatment can prepare a tooth for a restoration, such as a crown, or enhance smile aesthetics by correcting a “gummy” smile. Our doctors customize each crown lengthening treatment to achieve a natural, balanced look while promoting gum health. This procedure not only aids in restorative work but also enhances smile confidence by achieving better symmetry and proportion.
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift is an advanced procedure used to prepare the upper jaw for dental implants by adding bone to the sinus area. Over time, bone density in the upper jaw can diminish, especially after tooth loss, making implant placement challenging. In this procedure, our doctors carefully lift the sinus membrane and place bone graft material beneath it to increase bone volume. This added support provides a stable foundation for dental implants, allowing patients with low bone density to restore their smiles confidently and securely with implants.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting is a procedure that restores lost bone in the jaw, which is essential for patients considering dental implants or those who have suffered bone loss due to gum disease or tooth extraction. During the procedure, our doctors place graft material in the areas where bone is needed, encouraging the growth of new, healthy bone tissue. This strengthens the jawbone, making it suitable for dental implants and helping to prevent future bone loss. Bone grafting supports overall facial structure, enhances oral health, and provides a stable foundation for implant-based restorations.
PRF Application
Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) application is an advanced, natural treatment that promotes healing and tissue regeneration. During this procedure, a concentrated solution of platelets and growth factors is derived from the patient’s own blood and applied to the surgical site. PRF enhances the body’s natural healing process, speeds recovery, reduces swelling, and improves the success rate of bone grafting and dental implant procedures. This treatment is especially effective for patients undergoing dental implant placement or bone grafting, as it encourages faster regeneration of healthy tissue and bone, ultimately improving long-term results and providing a smoother recovery experience.
