Oral surgery encompasses specialized dental procedures that treat complex tooth extractions, jaw issues, and reconstructive dental work. It addresses conditions that require surgical intervention beyond routine dental care.
At Dogwood Family Dental, Dr. Taylor Enochs Engler provides expert oral surgery procedures in a comfortable, caring environment. Our advanced surgical techniques and compassionate approach ensure you receive the highest quality care for all your oral health needs.
Bone grafting is a specialized procedure that helps rebuild or strengthen areas where bone loss has occurred. This essential treatment:
- Prepares your jaw for dental implants by creating a solid foundation
- Preserves the socket after tooth extraction to prevent bone deterioration
- Restores bone structure damaged by periodontal disease or trauma
- Uses biocompatible materials that integrate with your natural bone
Dr. Engler uses the latest bone grafting techniques to ensure optimal results with minimal discomfort during recovery.
Alveoloplasty is a surgical procedure that reshapes and smooths the jawbone in areas where teeth have been removed. This important treatment:
- Creates an ideal shape for denture placement and comfort
- Reduces recovery time after multiple extractions
- Minimizes irregular bone contours that could cause pain or difficulty with prosthetics
- Improves overall oral function and appearance
Our gentle approach to alveoloplasty ensures proper healing and optimal results for subsequent restorative treatments.
Dr. Engler thoroughly evaluates your condition using advanced imaging technology and develops a personalized treatment plan addressing your specific needs.
Before your procedure, we discuss sedation options and provide detailed pre-operative instructions to ensure you're physically and mentally prepared for surgery.
Using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, Dr. Engler performs your surgery with meticulous attention to detail while prioritizing your comfort throughout.
You'll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, prescription medications if needed, and scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and ensure successful outcomes.
