Well, yeah. Unfortunately, in some instances, some teeth simply just can’t be saved. Very well trained in tooth extractions, whether simple, complex, wisdom teeth, removing this tooth, removing the source of infection, and hence removing the source of pain. And in those instances where teeth do need to be removed, we not only talk to the patients and discuss removing the tooth but also what is our plan moving forward for tooth replacement, whether that be dental implants, bridges, partial dentures.
Bring Back Your Healthy Smile With Dental Surgery
Decay is the #1 reason for extraction, followed by gum disease.

When you book an appointment with My Hometown Dentist, you’ve taken the first step toward returning your smile to health. Our team offers several types of oral surgery in-house, saving you the time, money, and headache of traveling to see an outside oral surgeon. However, if we feel we can’t handle your particular surgery, we’ll give you the name of a trusted specialist in our area. Here are a few oral surgery treatments we offer our patients:
- Tooth Extractions – If we’re unable to save your tooth, we’ll remove it to help protect the rest of your teeth and gums.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal – These third molars can often cause problems when they begin to emerge. We can safely remove them for you.
- Frenectomies – Extra thick connective tissue in your child’s mouth may prevent them from eating or speaking easily. We can correct the problem with a tongue-tie or lip-tie procedure. Your dentist uses a safe, low-power laser to free the tissue.
- Laser Gum Surgery – Your dentist can remove diseased gum tissue and bacteria at the same time with a dental laser. You won’t feel a thing, and you’ll enjoy quick healing time.
- Bone Grafts – If you need dental implants and your jawbone isn’t strong or thick enough to support them, we’ll recommend a bone graft. During this procedure, your dentist inserts additional bone cells in your jaw to encourage new growth.
- Sinus Lifts – This procedure is a special type of bone graft to make more room for implants in your upper jaw.
- Ridge Augmentations – When you lose a tooth, the bone in that area begins to deteriorate, resulting in changes to your facial structure. A ridge augmentation builds up your jaw ridge either for aesthetics or to support dental implants.
- Dental Implant Placement – We place most implants in-house, making it simple to get your entire implant procedure done in one convenient location.
