Because some dental concerns will require more specialized care, Sandia View Family Dental is proud to offer a range of oral surgery procedures performed with precision and confort. Our experienced team, under the guidance of Dr. Chris, offers a range of oral surgery procedures with a focus on your overall well-being. Whether you require a minor surgical procedure or more complex treatment, you can trust us to provide exceptional care using advanced techniques and a compassionate approach.
Our oral surgery services at Sandia View Family Dental include:
Frenectomy
A frenum is a small fold of tissue that connects the gums to the lip or tongue. When this frenum is too tight or thick, it can cause issues like tongue-tie (difficulty moving the tongue), lip recession, or gaps between front teeth. A frenectomy is a simple, non-invasive and quick surgical procedure to release the frenum, and restore the complete function of the tongue and surrounding structures. Dr. Chris performs frenectomies with gentle care, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal results.
Tooth Extraction
While our goal is always to preserve your natural teeth, there are situations where tooth extraction becomes necessary. This may be due to severe decay, infection, impaction (like wisdom teeth), or as part of orthodontic treatment. Dr. Chris performs extractions gently and efficiently, prioritizing your comfort throughout the process. We also offer various sedation options to help you feel relaxed and at ease. Following any dental extraction, our team will provide thorough aftercare instructions to promote proper healing.
Root Canal Therapy
While often considered a general dentistry procedure, root canal therapy involves intricate work within the tooth's root canals and is a critical surgical intervention to save a severely infected or damaged tooth. When the pulp (the inner tissue of the tooth) becomes infected, root canal therapy carefully removes the infected tissue, cleans and seals the canals, and restores the tooth with a dental crown. This procedure effectively eliminates pain and prevents the need for tooth extraction, preserving your natural smile and bite. Dr. Chris utilizes advanced techniques and technology to ensure efficient and comfortable root canal treatment.
Guided Dental Implant Placement
When our patients are ready for a permanent and stable solution for missing teeth, guided dental implant placement represents the pinnacle of precision in implant surgery. Utilizing advanced 3D imaging and sophisticated surgical planning software, Dr. Chris meticulously plans the exact position, angle, and depth of your dental implants before the procedure. This technology ensures optimal implant placement, leading to enhanced stability, improved aesthetics, and a higher success rate. Guided implant surgery often results in less invasive procedures, faster healing times, and a more comfortable experience.
