Oral Surgery

In Harrisburg, NC

Preserving your natural teeth is always our goal, which is why extractions are only recommended when a tooth can no longer be restored. In some cases, a severely damaged, decayed, or problematic tooth may jeopardize your overall oral health and require removal. Using gentle techniques and local anesthesia, we can safely and comfortably extract the tooth to relieve pain, prevent further complications, and create a healthy foundation for future treatment, such as dental implants, a bridge, or another tooth replacement option.

When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jawbone can begin to deteriorate over time, which may limit your tooth replacement options. Bone grafting is a procedure that rebuilds and strengthens the jawbone, providing the support needed for dental implants and other restorative treatments. By restoring lost bone, we can help create a strong foundation for a healthy, functional smile. Schedule a consultation to learn more about your options for replacing missing teeth and restoring your confidence.

Transform your smile—and your life—with dental implants that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth. Imagine enjoying the simple things again: biting into a crisp apple, laughing with friends, or speaking with total confidence, all without worrying about your teeth. Our skilled team blends compassionate care with advanced technology to make your implant experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Dental implants offer a permanent, seamless solution that integrates naturally with your existing teeth, so you can stop hiding your smile and reclaim the confidence you deserve.

Having issues with your oral health can prevent you from getting implants. Luckily, you can ensure that you qualify for implants by taking advantage of our implant preparation services. Depending on your dental needs, we offer treatments like tooth extractions, bone ridge smoothing, and bone grafting. To get a dental implant that is strong and long-lasting, proper implant preparation is essential. With our expert care, we provide the best results for dental implants that can last a lifetime. Let's get you back to smiling with confidence.

After losing a tooth, you may experience jaw bone loss if left untreated. That's why you may hear us recommend ridge augmentation after tooth loss, an extraction, or before getting dental implants. Ridge augmentation recreates the natural contour of the gums and jaw bone to restore its previous function and form. Not only that, but it avoids the need for extra surgery after an extraction. Ridge augmentation is a necessary procedure so that you can keep the natural function and look of your smile.

Alleviating teeth grinding and bite misalignment due to excess bone (or tori) can be stressful and uncomfortable, but we have a solution. Tori removal is a common procedure performed by your dentist that prevents further teeth complications, gets you out of pain, and prepares your smile for any future procedures. These little bone growths can interfere with many restorative treatments such as dentures, dental bridges, or dental implants. Get these treated to prevent any issues before restoring your smile.

If you have been struggling to move your tongue or lip freely, we have a solution. Frenectomies are an effective, painless procedure that trims unnecessary tissue in the mouth. This allows you to breathe, swallow, and speak without a problem. The procedure may sound scary, but we assure you that it's a simple procedure that releases the excessive tissue from lip or tongue ties in just a single visit.

A dental abscess is a serious infection that develops when bacteria invade the tooth or surrounding tissues. Common symptoms may include severe tooth pain, swelling, sensitivity, bad breath, a persistent bad taste in the mouth, or even fever. Left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to more significant oral health concerns.

Our team can provide prompt treatment to relieve discomfort and address the source of the infection. Depending on your specific needs, treatment may involve draining the abscess and preparing the tooth for further care, such as root canal therapy or extraction. Early treatment is key to protecting your oral health and preserving your smile. If you are experiencing signs of a dental abscess, contact our office as soon as possible to schedule an evaluation.
