Whether you’re dealing with a complex dental issue or preparing for future treatment like implants or orthodontics, oral surgery can be an important step toward restoring your oral health. At Wynkoop Dentistry, we provide advanced surgical solutions in a calm, supportive environment, all with your comfort and long-term wellness in mind.
Oral surgery refers to surgical procedures performed in and around the mouth and jaw to address functional or structural issues. From preparing your jaw for implants with a bone graft to correcting bite alignment with occlusal adjustments, our experienced team uses the latest technology and techniques to deliver precise, effective care.
We understand that the idea of oral surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take a personalized, low-stress approach, explaining your options clearly and making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Oral surgery offers long-term health and comfort benefits when teeth, gums, or jaw structures require specialized treatment. Here’s what you can expect:
Addressing issues early with surgical care can prevent more invasive problems down the road, like bone loss, shifting teeth, or chronic jaw pain.
Corrective procedures can improve how your teeth fit together, reduce pain caused by bite misalignment, and prevent long-term joint strain.
Treatments like bone grafting help strengthen your jaw and lay the groundwork for dental implants, ensuring a stable, lasting result.
At Wynkoop Dentistry, we offer a range of oral surgery procedures tailored to your needs — whether you’re preparing for future dental work or addressing a structural issue. Here are some of the most common treatments we provide:
This includes treatments for gum overgrowth, gum reshaping, or frenectomies (to release tight tissue attachments). These procedures can improve both function and aesthetics.
In some cases, we perform minor surgical procedures to prepare your jaw for implant placement, such as ridge preservation or sinus lifts, ensuring a successful, long-term result.
While we always aim to save natural teeth when possible, extractions may be necessary for teeth that are severely damaged, infected, or impacted. We offer gentle, precise extractions with sedation options for your comfort.
We fine-tune your bite to improve comfort, reduce TMJ-related symptoms, and prevent premature wear on your teeth. This is especially helpful if you’ve experienced chronic jaw tension, clenching, or bite imbalances.
When bone loss has occurred due to missing teeth or periodontal disease, a bone graft rebuilds your jaw structure to support dental implants or prevent further deterioration.
Every surgical procedure is different, but here’s a general overview of what the process looks like at Wynkoop Dentistry:
We start with a comprehensive exam and 3D digital imaging to fully assess your needs. Whether you’re experiencing bone loss or a bite issue, we’ll walk you through your diagnosis and treatment options in plain language.
Our team will outline your recommended surgical approach — whether it’s a bone graft, bite adjustment, or other intervention — and explain what you can expect before, during, and after your visit.
Your comfort is our priority. We offer a variety of anesthesia and sedation options as needed, and we use advanced technology to ensure your procedure is efficient, accurate, and minimally invasive.
Before your procedure, your oral surgeon will give you specific instructions. These may include fasting before anesthesia, arranging a ride home, and avoiding certain medications. Following these directions helps ensure a smooth and safe surgery.
