Some dental concerns require a more focused level of care, and when that’s the case, we’re here to help you feel supported, not overwhelmed. At Sandia View Family Dental, we offer a range of oral surgery procedures performed with care, precision, and a strong focus on your comfort and overall well-being. Dr. Chris and our team take the time to explain what’s happening, why it matters, and what your options look like so you never feel like you’re making decisions in the dark.
Whether your treatment is simple or more complex, you can expect a calm environment, clear communication, and a team that’s with you every step of the way. Our selection of in-house surgical procedures includes:
Frenectomy
The frenum is a small band of tissue that helps connect the lips or tongue to the mouth. When it’s too tight or restrictive, it can sometimes interfere with everyday function – like speaking, eating, or proper spacing between teeth. A frenectomy is a quick, straightforward procedure that gently releases this tissue to improve movement and comfort.
Dr. Chris performs frenectomies with gentle care, ensuring minimal discomfort and optimal results. Most patients are surprised by how simple the process feels and how quickly they recover.
Tooth Extraction
We always aim to preserve your natural teeth whenever possible. But in some situations, such as severe decay, infection, crowding, or impacted wisdom teeth, removing a tooth may be the healthiest option.
If an extraction is needed, our focus is on making the process as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Dr. Chris takes a gentle approach, and we also offer sedation options for patients who feel anxious or would simply like extra support during treatment. After your procedure, we’ll make sure you leave with clear, simple instructions so you know exactly how to care for the area as you heal. We’re also here if questions come up along the way.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is often recommended when the inner part of a tooth becomes infected or inflamed. While the idea of a root canal can feel intimidating, the goal of the treatment is actually very simple: to save your natural tooth and relieve pain. During the procedure, the infected tissue is gently removed, the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed, and the tooth is restored with a dental crown for protection and strength.
Dr. Chris uses modern techniques and technology to make treatment as efficient and comfortable as possible, helping you get back to feeling normal again sooner.
Guided Dental Implant Placement
When a tooth is missing, a dental implant can be one of the most stable and long-term solutions available. At Sandia View Family Dental, we use guided implant planning to take a thoughtful, highly precise approach to placement. With detailed 3D imaging, our team can plan the ideal position of your implant before the implant placement procedure even begins.
This level of planning helps us place implants with greater accuracy, often makes the procedure less invasive, and supports a smoother healing process. Most importantly, it helps us restore your smile in a way that feels natural, secure, and built to last.
