Trusted Solutions for Surgical Dental Needs
Minor surgical procedures involving the teeth, gums, and jaw may be needed to preserve or enhance long-term health. While our philosophy rests on maintaining teeth, each situation deserves consideration. So when the discussion we have together leads to a surgical correction, our doctors will take every step necessary to ensure your comfort and safety.
A damaged tooth may need removal if it's beyond repair. We also understand patients sometimes choose to remove a tooth due to financial limitations. We'll always work hard to help you find the solution that fits every aspect of your situation. Our doctors use the best methods and equipment to provide a quick and painless visit. Sedation options also offer a range of anxiety-reduction methods that you may wish to consider as well.
Biopsies of suspicious tissue, reshaping of gum defects, or removal of obtrusive bone present scenarios that may also involve surgical correction.
On occasion, our doctors recommend referral to a trusted specialist. Any time they feel you'll be served best by a colleague trained in a particular treatment, they won't hesitate to use the best resources for your care.
Expert Oral Surgery at Forest Hills Family Dentistry
Oral surgery may be necessary to restore your oral health, support other dental procedures, or prevent future complications. At Forest Hills Family Dentistry, our doctors offer personalized oral surgery solutions in a comfortable and compassionate environment.
Why Oral Surgery May Be Needed
You might require oral surgery for several reasons. For example, teeth may need to be extracted before fitting dentures, or impacted wisdom teeth may need to be removed to avoid crowding or pain. In other cases, oral surgery helps prepare your mouth for dental implants or to rebuild areas where teeth are missing—all to restore full function and enhance your smile.
Are You a Candidate for Oral Surgery?
Our doctors will perform a comprehensive exam, take detailed x-rays, and review your medical history to determine whether oral surgery is the right option for you. We work with patients of all ages and always prioritize your safety, comfort, and results.
What to Expect During Oral Surgery
Your care begins with a complete consultation at Forest Hills Family Dentistry. Once your treatment plan is in place, we’ll schedule your procedure at your convenience. You’ll receive local anesthetic or a sedation option of your choice to ensure comfort throughout the process. Most procedures are completed quickly and comfortably right here in our Cincinnati, OH office.
