What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery includes the diagnosis and surgical treatment of diseases, injuries and defects of the hard and soft tissues of the face, mouth, teeth and jaws.
While our dentists will always try to use the least invasive treatment possible for a given dental problem, sometimes these treatment options are simply not enough, and oral surgery is required.
Regardless of the treatment recommended, we will make sure you are fully informed and understand the expected results of the procedure.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that functions like a natural tooth root, and is used to replace a missing tooth. Together with a tooth replacement like a crown or bridge, a dental implant looks and feels much like a natural tooth.
Tooth Extractions
While preserving a natural tooth is always the priority, sometimes removal is necessary when a tooth is too damaged by decay, gum disease, or injury. After extraction, we offer a range of tooth replacement options, including crowns, bridges, and fillings, to help restore your smile.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
The final set of molars that erupt in the back corners of a normal adult mouth are called the wisdom teeth. Often, they cause problems for patient's dental hygiene, so your dentist may recommend removing them to help preserve your oral health.
Bone Grafts & Sinus Lifts
During a bone graft, your dentist adds bone tissue to your jaw bone to make it strong enough to support a dental implant. A sinus lift is a type of bone graft where a dentist adds bone material to the upper back jaw to prepare for a dental implant.
Frenectomy
The frenum is a small piece of tissue that connects your cheeks, tongue, or lips to your gum area. Our dentists perform frenectomies to remove the frenum on babies, children and adults when the it is restricting function. This condition is commonly referred to as tongue-tied, lip-tied, or cheek-tied.

Dental anxiety can be a real challenge. At Accent Dental, we offer Nitrous Oxide sedation to help you feel calm and comfortable during your appointments.
