Many of our oral and maxillofacial surgeries are designed to help preserve your smile and protect your teeth. However, sometimes we actually need to remove a tooth as part of your treatment. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons will explain how we perform a general extraction, and how this could help your smile.
A New Smile On Four Dental Implants
When you lost all of your teeth, then you could have trouble eating, speaking, and your overall quality of life and health could suffer. Losing jawbone density due to tooth loss could further complicate the issue, making implant placement difficult. Fortunately, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons can secure a new smile on just four dental implants posts!
Bone Grafting And Prosthetic Treatment
Dental implants help patients who need prosthodontic work regain more than just their appearance. The added support of an implant will help you bite and chew with confidence, and ensure that your restoration stays in place permanently. Unfortunately, not everyone is ready to go through treatment to receive implants. In some situations, a sinus lift or jawbone grafting procedure will have to take place to make sure that you can enjoy support for your implant (or implants). You can count on oral surgery at our Santa Rosa or Rohnert Park, CA office to give you the support you need to complete work to regain your full smile! (more…)
How Do We Repair Facial Trauma?
Facial trauma refers to any major or even minor damage to your teeth, jaw, or face. Unless treated, these injuries could not only impact smile esthetics, but also lead to issues with the balance of your jaw, increasing the risk of major complications. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons talk about how we address facial trauma.
How Do We Correct Jaw Issues?
When you have problems with the function of your bite, or issues that upset bite balance and cause problems for your smile’s health and beauty, you may need corrective jaw surgery. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral and maxillofacial surgeons will discuss how we approach orthognathic surgery!
When Does Your Smile Need Bone Grafting?
When a smile loses mass and density in the jawbone, this could cause major negative impacts on function and even the appearance. To rebuild these lost tissues, which also help prepare the smile for implant placement, your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons may suggest a procedure known as bone grafting, or ridge augmentation.
How Do We Fix An Impacted Tooth?
When a tooth doesn’t erupt all the way and becomes partially blocked, this is known as an impaction. Unless addressed, this could cause major complications for the health and stability of your smile, and also become a source of major discomfort. In today’s blog, your Santa Rosa, CA, oral surgeons talk about fixing an impacted tooth with extraction or bracketing.
Don’t Fear Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Don’t let your anxiety stand between you and this often-crucial procedure. Your Santa Rosa , CA, oral surgeons can ensure you remain calm and comfortable through the procedure!
