Oral Surgery | Save Your Teeth and Smile
When patients hear the words "oral surgery," it's common to feel uneasy. Many assume it means something serious, painful, or costly. In reality, oral surgery includes routine procedures that address a wide range of common dental conditions, from impacted wisdom teeth and tooth loss to bone deterioration and misalignment. At Gulati Family Dentistry, we focus on safe, effective treatment options designed to improve your oral health and overall comfort.
Most oral surgery procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, and many patients can return to normal activities within a few days. In some cases, oral surgery may not be required at all. If you're referred to an oral surgeon, rest assured that your treatment plan will be thoroughly discussed, and we'll guide you every step of the way.

Dental Implants
Dental implants have transformed the way missing teeth are replaced. An implant is a titanium post that functions as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth. These posts are biocompatible, meaning they integrate well with the bone without being rejected.
Dental implants are ideal for replacing teeth lost due to decay, gum disease, oral cancer, injury, or other conditions. The procedure involves surgically placing the implant into the jawbone. Over a period of 3 to 6 months, the bone fuses with the implant. Once healing is complete, a crown or bridge is attached to restore full function and appearance.

Tooth Extractions
Tooth extractions are sometimes necessary when a tooth is too damaged to be saved, is severely decayed, or is contributing to crowding or infection. Wisdom teeth are also commonly extracted to prevent pain, infection, or misalignment. Extractions are performed with care and precision to ensure a comfortable experience. We will review all options with you in advance and provide instructions for smooth healing and recovery.

Bone Grafts
Bone grafting is a procedure used to restore volume and strength to areas of the jaw where bone has been lost. Bone loss can occur due to missing teeth, gum disease, or injury. A bone graft may be needed before placing dental implants to ensure there is enough support for a secure fit. The graft encourages new bone growth in the area and helps preserve your facial structure and oral health. This procedure is safe, effective, and an important part of long-term tooth replacement planning.
