Extractions
If a tooth has been broken or damaged by decay, it can usually be fixed with a filling, crown or other dental treatment. Occasionally, damage to teeth may be so advanced that it is necessary to take out the tooth. In order to maintain dental health your dentist may recommend a tooth extraction.

Bone Graft
A bone graft or regenerative surgery is a treatment for the gum disease called periodontitis used to recreate bone and soft supporting tissues. People with periodontitis lose gum coverage and bone support around their teeth. Regenerative surgery regrows these lost tissues.
Read MoreNobody wants to hear they need oral surgery, so we built ours around two promises: comfort and clarity. Before anything happens, you will understand three things. Why the tooth cannot be saved. What removing it involves. And what your replacement options are. During treatment, complete numbing and available sedation options mean you feel pressure, not pain.
Our experienced oral surgeons perform extractions and bone grafting right here, in the office you already know, with your complete records at hand. Afterward, you leave with simple instructions and a team a phone call away. Surgery is never anyone’s first choice; when it is the right choice, this is how it should feel.
Recovery gets planned with the same care as the surgery. You leave with plain written instructions, the right guidance for eating and rest, and a direct line to our team for any question. Most patients are surprised by how manageable the days after surgery turn out to be, and that is not luck. It is planning.
And if surgery makes you anxious, say so out loud when you book. Sedation options exist for exactly this reason, and knowing you are nervous changes how we plan your visit from the first minute. Courage is not required here. Honesty works better.

Questions patients ask before surgery
Will I be awake? Your choice, honestly discussed: complete numbing keeps most procedures comfortable, and sedation options exist for deeper calm. How long is recovery, really? For routine extractions, most patients manage normal life within days; complex cases get honest, specific timelines at consultation. What can I eat after? Soft and cool at first, advancing as healing allows, with a written guide sent home. Who do I call if something worries me at 8 pm? Us, at 908-486-5252; post-surgical questions are part of the service, never an imposition.
The night before your procedure
Preparation is refreshingly simple. Follow the eating instructions we gave you, which depend on your sedation plan. Arrange your ride if one is needed; we will have told you clearly. Set out soft foods for afterward, fill any prescriptions in advance, and plan a genuinely lazy day of recovery, doctor's orders. Then sleep; worrying is optional and unnecessary. Tomorrow has been carefully planned by people who do this every day, and your only job in it is showing up.
Surgery, done right, is a beginning rather than an ending: the pain resolved, the path cleared, the smile rebuilt. That beginning starts here.
Calm plans make calm surgery days. Yours starts with one call.
The right surgeon makes hard things feel easy. Ours have done this for years. You are in good hands here, from the first talk to the last checkup.
The bottom line? Surgery here is calm, planned, and kind. You will know the plan. You will feel the care. And you will heal at home with our number close by.
