Oral Surgery in Aurora
Advanced Procedures Focused on Comfort, Healing, and Long-Term Oral Health
Understanding Oral Surgery
Oral surgery includes a range of procedures used to treat complex dental conditions affecting the teeth, gums, and jawbone. These treatments are often recommended when issues cannot be resolved with routine dental care alone. Oral surgery can help relieve pain, prevent infection, restore function, and support future treatments such as dental implants or restorative care.
At Aurora North Dental, oral surgery is planned carefully using detailed exams and diagnostic imaging. Our team explains each step clearly and focuses on comfort, safety, and proper healing before, during, and after treatment.
Tooth Extractions
Either add one-line descriptions for each procedure or remove the Tooth Extractions description so the list stays consistent.
Dental Implant Surgery
Dental implant surgery replaces missing teeth by placing a titanium implant into the jawbone. This procedure supports long-term function, bite stability, and natural-looking tooth replacement.
Wisdom Teeth Removal
Wisdom teeth removal is recommended when third molars cause pain, crowding, or hygiene challenges. Early removal may help prevent future complications.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth Removal
Impacted wisdom teeth removal is needed when teeth are trapped below the gumline or bone. This procedure helps prevent infection, swelling, and damage to nearby teeth.
Crown Lengthening
Crown lengthening reshapes the gum and bone tissue to expose more of the tooth surface. It may be performed for restorative needs or to improve gum balance around the teeth.
Gum Grafts
Gum grafts treat gum recession by covering exposed tooth roots. This helps reduce sensitivity, protect teeth from further wear, and support gum health.
Bone Grafts
Bone grafts rebuild areas of bone loss in the jaw. This procedure is often used to support dental implant placement or preserve bone after tooth extractions.
Oral Surgery Treatments We Provide
Some oral health concerns require minor surgical procedures to restore comfort and protect surrounding structures. When a tooth cannot be preserved or complications are affecting the gums or jawbone, oral surgery may be recommended as a safe and effective solution.
Comfort-Focused Care and Recovery
Oral surgery at Aurora North Dental is performed with careful planning and patient-focused care, starting with a thorough exam and imaging to confirm the safest approach. Before treatment, we review your health history, explain what will happen step by step, and answer questions so you feel prepared. Depending on the procedure, we may recommend minimal sedation options to help you stay relaxed and comfortable, along with local anesthesia to keep the area numb during treatment.
After treatment, our team provides clear aftercare instructions to support healing and reduce the risk of complications, including guidance on pain control, swelling, oral hygiene, and what to eat while you recover. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor healing, check your bite and gum health, and make sure your oral health remains on track, especially if your plan includes next steps like
dental implants,
crowns, or other restorative care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Oral Surgery Painful?
Discomfort is managed with local anesthesia and, when appropriate, sedation options. Most patients experience manageable soreness that improves within a few days.
How Long Does Recovery Take After Oral Surgery?
Recovery time depends on the procedure. Simple tooth extractions may heal quickly, while procedures like dental implant surgery or bone grafts require more healing time.
Will I Need Bone Grafting Before Dental Implants?
Bone grafts may be recommended if there is insufficient jawbone to support an implant. This helps improve long-term stability and success.
When Should Wisdom Teeth Be Removed?
Wisdom teeth are often removed when they cause pain, infection, crowding, or are impacted. Early evaluation helps determine the right timing.
How Should I Care for My Mouth After Oral Surgery?
Aftercare typically includes gentle oral hygiene, avoiding hard foods, and following specific instructions provided by our team to support proper healing.
