Dental Surgery

Sometimes a tooth becomes too damaged to save due to decay, infection, injury, or crowding. When this happens, removing the tooth may be the best way to protect your oral health and prevent problems from spreading to nearby teeth or gums. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we perform both routine and more complex tooth extractions, including difficult extractions and wisdom teeth. Our team approaches every procedure with care and precision, taking the time to explain the process and ensure you feel comfortable and informed. Sedation options such as nitrous or oral sedation may be available to help you feel relaxed during treatment. After your procedure, we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions to support proper healing and recovery. Our goal is always to restore comfort and protect your long-term oral health while making your experience as smooth and supportive as possible.

Bone grafting is often recommended when bone loss has occurred in the jaw, typically due to missing teeth, periodontal disease, or long-term wear. Rebuilding bone tissue helps strengthen the jaw and creates a stable foundation for future restorations such as dental implants. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we use advanced grafting materials designed to integrate naturally with your body and promote new bone growth. During your consultation, we’ll take detailed images to assess your bone health and explain your options in clear, easy-to-understand terms. Our focus is on preserving both function and facial structure, so you can maintain a healthy, confident smile for years to come. Whether bone grafting is performed on its own or as part of a larger treatment plan, we ensure your comfort and recovery are carefully managed from start to finish.

Wisdom teeth, also known as third molars, typically appear between the late teens and early twenties. Because most jaws don’t have enough room for them to come in properly, they can become impacted, grow at an angle, or cause pain and swelling. Our team provides gentle, precise wisdom tooth removal to protect your comfort and long-term oral health. Before the procedure, we’ll take detailed X-rays to assess positioning and discuss the best approach for your situation. During treatment, sedation options are available to help you feel calm and at ease. After surgery, we’ll give you clear instructions for care at home and follow up to make sure your healing is progressing smoothly. Whether your wisdom teeth are currently causing discomfort or you’ve been advised to remove them as a preventive step, we’re here to ensure your experience is positive from beginning to end.

In some cases, a tooth does not fully erupt through the gums, often due to being blocked by tissue or positioned incorrectly. A surgical exposure helps uncover the tooth so it can be properly guided into place, typically as part of an orthodontic treatment plan. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we perform surgical exposures and a range of other soft tissue procedures to support healthy function and aesthetics. These treatments can include gum contouring, frenectomies, or other minor surgical adjustments to prepare the mouth for braces, implants, or restorations. Our approach is always gentle, precise, and tailored to your unique needs. We take time to explain each step, use modern techniques to minimize discomfort, and provide thorough aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing. With our experienced team, you can feel confident knowing your treatment is handled with care and attention to detail.

When placing dental implants in the upper jaw, there sometimes isn’t enough bone height beneath the sinuses to support them. A sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane and adds bone material to create a stable foundation for implant placement. This specialized procedure allows patients who were once told they weren’t candidates for implants to achieve lasting, secure results. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we perform sinus lifts using modern materials and careful techniques that encourage strong bone growth while minimizing recovery time. Our goal is to make your experience comfortable, safe, and successful, helping you achieve a confident, functional smile that feels completely natural.

At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we carefully plan every implant procedure using advanced imaging and 3D planning to ensure precision and predictability. Dental implants are a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, using a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Implants restore more than just your smile - they help maintain bone health, preserve facial structure, and allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Dental implants can also be used to support other restorations, including implant-retained dentures, which offer improved stability and comfort compared to traditional removable dentures.

Implant-retained dentures combine the stability of dental implants with the full coverage of dentures. Instead of resting loosely on the gums, dentures can be securely supported by implants placed in the jaw, creating a more stable and comfortable fit. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we place the dental implants that support implant-retained dentures. These implants act as anchors, helping prevent slipping or movement and making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Implant support can also help reduce bone loss in the jaw and maintain facial structure over time. If you currently wear dentures or are exploring tooth replacement options, implant-retained dentures may provide a more secure and comfortable solution.

Full mouth reconstruction is a customized, comprehensive treatment plan designed to rebuild your smile when multiple teeth are damaged, missing, or worn down. It may include a combination of implants, crowns, bridges, and other restorative procedures to improve both function and aesthetics. At Evergreen Family Dentistry, we approach every case with precision and attention to detail. Using advanced imaging and digital planning, we create a step-by-step plan that restores strength, comfort, and confidence. Our goal is to give you a smile that looks beautiful, feels natural, and functions properly for years to come—while ensuring your comfort and peace of mind throughout the process.
