What is oral surgery?

Oral surgery addresses more complex dental concerns involving the teeth, gums, and jaw. At Reimer Family Dental, we perform many surgical procedures in-house, including extractions, some impacted wisdom teeth removal, bone grafting, sinus lifts, alveoloplasty, and implant placement. Dr. Reimer has advanced training in implant surgery, oral sedation, and restorative dentistry, allowing patients to receive comprehensive care under one roof. For especially complex full arch implant cases, he collaborates with a trusted oral surgeon to coordinate treatment seamlessly.

The benefits of oral surgery

When performed with careful planning and modern technology, oral surgery can relieve pain, prevent infection, and restore long-term stability. Addressing surgical needs promptly protects both your oral and overall health.

Relief from discomfort and infection

Surgical treatment removes damaged or infected tissue, helping eliminate pain and reduce harmful inflammation.

Improved function and stability

Procedures like bone grafting and implant placement rebuild strong foundations for long-term bite support.

Comprehensive in-house care

With advanced training and technology, many procedures can be completed in our office, minimizing referrals and creating a smoother experience.

Our oral surgery treatments

Tooth extractions and impacted wisdom teeth

When a tooth is severely damaged or infected, extraction may be the healthiest option. We perform both simple and impacted wisdom teeth extractions in-office, prioritizing comfort and safety. Removing problematic teeth can prevent further infection and protect surrounding structures. We also discuss appropriate replacement options to maintain long-term oral stability.

Bone grafting and sinus lifts

Bone grafting and sinus lift procedures rebuild or strengthen the jawbone when additional support is needed for implants. Using advanced imaging such as Cone Beam CT, we carefully evaluate bone density and structure before treatment. Strengthening the foundation increases implant success and long-term stability. These procedures help restore both function and facial support.

Implant surgery

Dental implant placement replaces missing tooth roots and restores both aesthetics and function. Dr. Reimer performs implant placements using precise 3D planning for accuracy and safety. For more complex cases, he works in collaboration with a trusted oral surgeon to deliver comprehensive, transformative results. Properly placed implants support bite alignment, bone preservation, and whole-body health.

Frenectomy and soft tissue procedures

We perform select soft tissue procedures, including frenectomies, to improve oral function and comfort. These treatments can support speech development, orthodontic care, and overall oral health. Using modern techniques promotes efficient healing and improved outcomes.

The oral surgery process

Comprehensive evaluation and imaging

Every surgical procedure begins with a thorough exam and detailed imaging using Cone Beam CT technology when appropriate. This allows us to assess bone structure, identify risks, and design a precise treatment plan tailored to you.

Comfortable surgical care

We offer oral conscious sedation and IV sedation options to ensure a comfortable experience. Our team focuses on careful technique and clear communication so you feel supported throughout the procedure.

Healing and long-term follow-up

After surgery, we provide detailed post-operative instructions and monitor your healing. Follow-up visits ensure proper recovery and help maintain long-term oral and overall health.

Procedures are performed with local anesthesia, and sedation options are available for added comfort. Most patients experience manageable discomfort afterward, which can typically be controlled with recommended medications and proper care.

Recovery time varies depending on the procedure. Simple extractions may heal within a few days, while bone grafting or implant placement may require longer healing periods. We provide personalized instructions to support smooth recovery.

Bone grafting rebuilds areas where bone has deteriorated due to missing teeth or infection. Creating a strong foundation improves implant success and helps maintain facial structure and long-term oral stability.
