What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a variety of procedures that address complex dental and oral health issues, often involving the teeth, gums, jawbone, or surrounding tissues. These treatments are designed to resolve problems that cannot be managed with routine dental care, such as impacted teeth, severe infections, or structural concerns. At Pacific Dental & Implants, our oral surgery services are tailored to meet your specific needs, whether it’s a straightforward extraction or a more advanced procedure like bone grafting.

Common reasons for oral surgery include:

  • Impacted Wisdom Teeth: Teeth that are trapped in the gums or jawbone, causing pain, swelling, or misalignment.
  • Tooth Extractions: Removal of severely damaged, decayed, or problematic teeth.
  • Dental Implants: Placement of artificial tooth roots to support crowns, bridges, or dentures.
  • Bone Grafting: Restoring jawbone density to support implants or improve facial structure.
  • Jaw Misalignment: Correcting structural issues that affect bite or appearance.
  • Oral Pathology: Diagnosing and treating abnormalities like cysts, tumors, or infections in the mouth.

Dr. Jake Saeti’s expertise in general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, combined with his meticulous approach to oral surgery, ensures that every procedure is performed with precision and care, delivering optimal outcomes for your health and smile.

Our Oral Surgery Services

At Pacific Dental & Implants, we offer a comprehensive range of oral surgery services designed to address a wide variety of needs. Dr. Saeti uses advanced techniques and technology to ensure safe, effective, and comfortable treatments. Here’s an overview of our services:

1. Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often require extraction due to impaction, crowding, or infection. Dr. Saeti performs wisdom teeth removal with precision, using digital X-rays and 3D imaging to assess the teeth’s position and plan the procedure. We offer sedation options, such as nitrous oxide or IV sedation, to ensure your comfort. Most patients recover quickly with minimal discomfort, and we provide detailed post-operative instructions to support healing.

2. Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is too damaged, decayed, or problematic to save, extraction may be necessary. Dr. Saeti performs both simple and surgical extractions, depending on the tooth’s condition. Simple extractions involve removing visible teeth, while surgical extractions address broken, impacted, or partially erupted teeth. We prioritize gentle techniques and anesthesia to make the process pain-free, and we can discuss replacement options like implants or bridges to restore your smile.

3. Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants are a permanent solution for missing teeth, and Dr. Saeti is a recognized expert in implant dentistry. The procedure involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, followed by a custom crown, bridge, or denture. Using guided surgery and 3D imaging, Dr. Saeti ensures precise implant placement for optimal stability and aesthetics. For patients with bone loss, we offer bone grafting to create a strong foundation for implants.

4. Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is often necessary for patients with insufficient jawbone density due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. This procedure involves adding bone material to the jaw to support implants or improve structural integrity. Dr. Saeti uses advanced grafting techniques to promote natural bone growth, ensuring a stable base for future restorations. The procedure is minimally invasive, with most patients experiencing a smooth recovery.

5. Oral Pathology and Biopsies

Abnormalities in the mouth, such as cysts, tumors, or unusual lesions, require careful evaluation and treatment. Dr. Saeti performs thorough examinations and, if needed, biopsies to diagnose oral pathology. We work closely with specialists to ensure accurate diagnosis and effective treatment, prioritizing your health and peace of mind.

6. Pre-Prosthetic Surgery

For patients preparing for dentures or other restorations, pre-prosthetic surgery may be needed to reshape the gums or jawbone for a better fit. This can include smoothing bone ridges or removing excess tissue. Dr. Saeti’s expertise ensures these procedures enhance the comfort and functionality of your prosthetic.

7. Sedation and Comfort

We understand that oral surgery can cause anxiety, which is why we prioritize your comfort. In addition to local anesthesia, we offer sedation options like nitrous oxide (laughing gas) or IV sedation to help you relax. Our warm, welcoming office and compassionate staff create a supportive environment, and Dr. Saeti explains each step to ensure you feel confident and informed.

What to Expect During Your Oral Surgery

Your oral surgery journey begins with a consultation at Pacific Dental & Implants. Dr. Saeti will evaluate your oral health, review your medical history, and use advanced imaging to plan your procedure. We’ll discuss your goals, explain the process, and address any concerns. The surgery itself is performed with local anesthesia and sedation as needed, ensuring you remain comfortable. Most procedures are outpatient, with recovery times varying from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the complexity. We provide detailed post-operative instructions, including tips for managing swelling, pain, and diet, to support a smooth recovery.

Tips for a Successful Recovery

To ensure a quick and comfortable recovery after oral surgery, follow these tips:

  • Follow Post-Op Instructions: Take prescribed medications, avoid strenuous activity, and stick to a soft-food diet as recommended.
  • Manage Swelling: Apply ice packs to the affected area for 10-15 minutes at a time to reduce swelling in the first 48 hours.
  • Maintain Oral Hygiene: Gently rinse with warm saltwater after 24 hours and avoid brushing near the surgical site until advised.
  • Avoid Smoking or Straws: These can dislodge blood clots and delay healing.
  • Attend Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ins allow us to monitor your recovery and address any concerns.
  • Important: Contact us immediately if you experience severe pain, excessive bleeding, or signs of infection after surgery.
