What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a variety of procedures designed to address dental conditions that cannot be resolved through routine care. These surgeries are essential for maintaining or improving oral health and functionality, and they can also significantly enhance the appearance of your smile. At Smile Creators, we offer the latest in advanced oral surgery procedures, providing personalized care to ensure the best results for every patient.


Some of the most common oral surgeries we perform include:


  • Wisdom Teeth Removal

  • Dental Implants

  • Tooth Extractions

  • Jaw Surgery

  • Bone Grafting

We understand that the thought of oral surgery can be intimidating, but rest assured that our skilled team is here to support you and make your experience as stress-free as possible.

Types of Oral Surgery We Offer

  • Wisdom Teeth Removal

    Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars at the back of your mouth. These teeth often emerge during your late teens or early twenties, but they can cause issues like impaction, infection, or misalignment of nearby teeth. If your wisdom teeth are causing problems, our skilled oral surgeons at Smile Creators will carefully remove them to prevent further complications, alleviate pain, and improve your overall dental health.

  • Dental Implants

    Missing teeth can affect both your appearance and your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently. Dental implants offer a permanent and natural-looking solution to replace missing teeth. At Smile Creators, we use the latest technology and techniques to place titanium implants into your jawbone, which serves as a strong foundation for custom-made crowns. With dental implants, you can restore your smile and enjoy improved functionality without worrying about discomfort or shifting.

  • Tooth Extractions

    In some cases, tooth extraction is necessary to maintain your oral health. Whether due to severe decay, overcrowding, or injury, our team at Smile Creators will perform the extraction procedure with the utmost care and precision. We offer both simple and surgical extractions, depending on the complexity of the case, and will ensure you are fully informed and comfortable throughout the process. After your extraction, we will guide you through the recovery phase to promote quick healing and prevent complications.

  • Jaw Surgery

    Corrective jaw surgery is often recommended for patients who suffer from misalignment due to injury, birth defects, or other conditions. If your bite is misaligned or if you experience difficulty chewing or speaking, this surgery can help. At Smile Creators, our oral surgeons will evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan to improve both function and aesthetics, ensuring you achieve a balanced, healthy bite.

  • Bone Grafting

    For patients who have experienced tooth loss, bone grafting may be required before dental implants can be placed. When teeth are lost, the bone that once supported them can deteriorate. A bone graft rebuilds this bone structure, providing a strong base for implants. Our team at Smile Creators is highly skilled in performing bone grafts and will make sure you receive the best care and attention throughout the process.
