Oral Surgery in Denham Springs, LA

What is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery involves procedures that treat dental and facial conditions requiring surgical intervention. While some treatments are more involved than routine dental care, most oral surgeries are straightforward and completed right in our office.

We use state-of-the-art tools such as digital X-rays to aid in diagnosis and treatment planning, ensuring accuracy and comfort from consultation to recovery.

When Is Oral Surgery Necessary?

You may be a candidate for oral surgery if you experience any of the following:

  • Severe or infected tooth decay

  • Impacted or overcrowded wisdom teeth

  • Jawbone loss due to missing teeth

  • Oral infections or facial swelling

  • Preparation for dental implants

  • Soft tissue concerns or abnormalities

We perform a complete evaluation to determine the best surgical approach for your condition and oral health goals.

Oral Surgery Services We Offer

Tooth Extractions

While we always strive to save your natural teeth, some conditions require removal. We offer both simple and surgical tooth extractions, including wisdom tooth removal, to protect your oral health and relieve discomfort.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Impacted or poorly positioned wisdom teeth can cause pain, crowding, and infection. We offer safe and effective removal of wisdom teeth using digital imaging and gentle techniques to ensure minimal discomfort.

Implant Preparation & Bone Grafting

Before placing dental implants, some patients may require bone grafting to restore jaw structure. We provide in-office preparation to ensure optimal implant success.

Infection Treatment & Abscess Drainage

If you have swelling, pain, or pus near a tooth, we offer minor surgical procedures to remove infected tissue and promote healing. Our team also provides root canal therapy if the infection has reached the tooth’s nerve.

Soft Tissue Procedures

We perform minor oral surgeries like frenectomies, lesion removal, and gum contouring to support both oral health and aesthetics. These procedures may also support cosmetic treatments such as veneers or smile makeovers.

What to Expect from Your Oral Surgery Visit

Before Your Procedure

Your visit begins with a full exam and consultation. We review your medical history, take X-rays, and explain the recommended treatment plan. You’ll know exactly what to expect and have time to ask questions.

During Surgery

Procedures are performed under local anesthesia for maximum comfort. Sedation options may be available based on the procedure or your anxiety level. Most surgeries are completed in one visit.

Aftercare and Recovery

We will provide detailed aftercare instructions to support a quick and smooth recovery. Patients typically return to normal activity within a few days, depending on the procedure.

If a tooth is extracted, we can discuss dental bridges, dentures and partials, or implants as long-term solutions to restore your smile.
