Oral surgery addresses a range of dental and facial issues to improve function, appearance, and quality of life. We provide a full spectrum of surgical options to treat everything from routine concerns to complex conditions. Our skilled team is here to support you at every stage of your treatment, ensuring a safe, comfortable experience and the best possible outcome.
Each type of oral surgery addresses specific needs. Here’s an overview of our procedures, how they’re performed, and why they might be necessary.
Often, wisdom teeth don’t have enough room to grow properly, causing pain, infection, or crowding. Removing them can prevent these issues. This procedure involves numbing the area, making a small incision in the gums, and removing the tooth.
This surgery corrects cleft lip and palate in infants and young children to help improve speech, appearance, and function. A specialized team uses techniques to reshape and close the lip or palate to support normal growth and development.
Also known as orthognathic surgery, this procedure corrects jaw misalignments, which can improve appearance and function. It involves repositioning the jaw to address problems like bite issues, sleep apnea, and facial imbalance.
When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed, extraction may be necessary to protect surrounding teeth and prevent infection. During an extraction, we carefully remove the tooth using minimally invasive techniques.
Injuries to the face, whether from accidents or trauma, can affect both appearance and function. Reconstructive surgery restores bone structure, soft tissue, and function while focusing on aesthetic results.
A sinus lift is often performed before placing dental implants in the upper jaw. It involves adding bone to the area above the molars and premolars to support the implant securely, ensuring long-term stability.
When a suspicious lesion is found in the mouth, a biopsy is performed to check for oral cancer or other conditions. This involves removing a small tissue sample, which is then sent for laboratory analysis.
We understand that oral surgery can feel intimidating. That’s why we offer a variety of sedation options to help you feel comfortable and relaxed throughout your procedure. Sedation ranges from mild relaxation to deep sedation, allowing you to rest easy and let our experienced team handle the rest.
Whether you need a routine extraction or a more complex reconstructive surgery, our team is committed to delivering the highest standard of care with compassion and expertise. Contact us today to learn more about our surgical services and schedule a consultation.
“After many problems and consistent pain due to prior dental work on a cap, I decided to visit Dr. Sciortino. She was able to fit me in right away. I was so impressed by the office and staff. Dr. Sciortino is extremely knowledgeable and personable. She was able to resolve the issue that I had spent many visits at other dentists trying to resolve, and my pain is now completely gone.
