Rockcliff Oral and Facial Surgery & Dental Implants Center

An oral surgeon can evaluate wisdom teeth that are impacted, painful, infected, or at risk of damaging nearby teeth. Imaging helps determine their position and whether removal is recommended.

A simple extraction generally involves a tooth that can be accessed without additional surgical steps. A surgical extraction may be needed when a tooth is impacted, broken, difficult to access, or requires additional treatment for safe removal.

Full arch dental implants may be an option when most or all teeth in an upper or lower arch need replacement. Your oral health, remaining teeth, available bone, and treatment goals help determine whether this type of implant treatment is appropriate.

Not every dental implant patient requires bone grafting. A graft may be recommended when there is not enough healthy bone to provide adequate support for an implant, and imaging helps determine whether additional bone support is needed.

Persistent sores, lumps, swelling, or other unusual changes involving the mouth or jaw should be evaluated. An oral surgeon can assess the area and determine whether monitoring, imaging, biopsy, or treatment may be needed.

Insurance coverage varies depending on your plan and the oral surgery procedure you need. Rockcliff can help review your benefits and provide an estimate before treatment. For eligible patients, financing options including Sunbit and CareCredit® may also be available to help manage treatment costs.

The anesthesia approach depends on your procedure, health history, and individual comfort needs. Options may include local anesthesia, nitrous oxide, IV sedation, or general anesthesia depending on the case, and your surgeon will review the appropriate option with you beforehand.
