Oral surgery includes procedures used to address dental concerns that cannot be resolved with routine care alone. At Maple Ridge Smiles Dental, we provide carefully planned oral surgery services with a focus on patient safety, comfort, and clear communication.
Each procedure is assessed individually and performed using appropriate techniques and anaesthesia, based on your clinical needs and overall oral health. Our surgical treatments at Maple Ridge Smiles Dental include:
Tooth Extractions
Tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is severely decayed, damaged, infected, or contributing to crowding. Extractions are performed with care and may help minimize discomfort and protect surrounding teeth and tissues depending on individual response.
Your dentist will discuss treatment options, aftercare instructions, and healing expectations to support a smooth recovery.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Some wisdom teeth require surgical removal, including fully bony extractions when teeth are impacted within the jawbone. A consultation and diagnostic imaging are used to assess positioning and determine the most appropriate approach.
Wisdom tooth removal is planned carefully with attention to comfort, safety, and post-operative healing.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting may be recommended to help maintain jawbone structure following tooth loss or to support future dental procedures such as dental implants. Grafting materials and techniques are selected based on clinical requirements and individual health considerations.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is used to treat infection or damage within the pulp of a tooth. This procedure may help preserve a natural tooth that might otherwise require extraction. Each case is assessed to determine whether root canal therapy is an appropriate treatment option.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy is a procedure that involves modifying or removing a small fold of tissue (frenum) connecting the lips or tongue to surrounding tissues. This treatment may be recommended to support oral function or address specific concerns identified during examination.
Soft Tissue Grafting
Soft tissue grafting may be used to address gum recession or to support the health and stability of oral tissues. Treatment planning is based on individual anatomy, oral health status, and clinical assessment.
Suitability & Treatment Planning
Not all oral surgery procedures are appropriate for every patient. Each treatment is considered based on your oral health, medical history, and individual needs. A thorough consultation, examination, and diagnostic imaging are required to determine the most suitable approach.
Our team takes time to explain recommendations, answer questions, and ensure you feel informed and comfortable before proceeding.
