Oral Surgery
Build a Strong Foundation for a Healthier Smile
Restore bone loss and prepare your mouth for future restorations.
Bone grafting is a common and effective procedure that restores lost bone in the jaw, often needed before dental implants or dentures can be placed. Bone loss may result from gum disease, tooth extractions, or natural changes over time — and without enough healthy bone, it’s difficult to support long-term restorations. At Quarryville Family Dentistry, we use safe and advanced techniques to rebuild the structure of your jaw and restore function. The procedure is comfortable and performed in-office, with long-lasting benefits for both your appearance and oral health.
What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery is specifically designed to enhance, restore and protect your smile. We offer many different surgical procedures that can be done on both adult and pediatric patients. We even offer sedation, which can make the surgical process a lot easier and more comfortable for you. Oral surgery is personalized to each of our patients for optimal dental care.
Why would Oral Surgery be needed?
You might need oral surgery before other procedures. For example, you may require one or more extractions before a denture can be made for you. You might require surgery to prevent future problems from happening, as is the case with impacted wisdom teeth. Other types of surgery can help to enhance your smile and construct teeth that are currently missing.
Who is a good candidate for Oral Surgery?
To determine if you're a good candidate for oral surgery, we will perform an exam, take x-rays and review your medical history. This allows us to determine if you're healthy enough to undergo the procedure that is needed. Surgery can be performed on young and older patients, and it is done on an as needed basis. We are here to help answer any questions that you might have regarding oral surgery.
What happens during Bone Grafting?
Following tooth extraction, the bone material is applied to the area and secured with sutures. Once the bone has healed and fused with its surrounding area, you are ready to schedule for an implant or to have a new denture made.
Bone grafting surgeries are easy, quick and help to improve the look of your smile.
