If you’re dealing with a dental issue, there’s no need to wait in pain. Whether you require multiple dental implants or a simple extraction, oral surgery can correct issues and set your smile up for long-term success.
Wisdom tooth extractions are the most common type of oral surgery, with more than 10 million wisdom teeth being removed each year in the U.S. alone.

Depending on your situation, oral surgery can help relieve pain and prevent further complications. For example, surgical extractions for impacted wisdom teeth will eliminate pain, and prevent damage to the nearby teeth.
In many cases, oral surgeries are needed to prepare for further dental treatment. Bone grafts and alveoloplasty may be necessary to prepare you to get a dental implant.

Before you can get a dental implant, you may need a bone graft. Bone grafts are necessary if your jaw bone has been weakened by tooth loss or gum disease. In a bone graft, your Sparta dentist will make an opening in your gums and jaw, place bone particles in your jaw bone, and then clean and seal the area. Over time, healthy bone material will grow over the bone particles, restoring your jaw bone and preparing you for a dental implant.
If your tooth has not fully erupted and is impacted, or the top has broken off, a surgical tooth extraction may be necessary. In this procedure, Dr. Goodyke will make an incision in your gums, cut the tooth into small sections, and extract it piece by piece.
Alveoloplasty may be needed after tooth loss, and before you can get a dental implant, dentures, or a dental bridge. In this procedure, Dr. Goodyke will smooth out the bony ridges around the sockets where your missing teeth used to be. These ridges can be very sharp, and unless you get alveoloplasty, they may interfere with the fit and placement of replacements.
That depends on the extent of your oral health issues, and the particular details of your situation. The best way to find out if you need oral surgery is to visit Sparta Family Dentistry. After a comprehensive oral exam and x-rays, Dr. Goodyke can evaluate your situation and recommend the proper path forward for restoring your teeth and your oral health.
This depends on the surgery. Typically, it will take about 1-2 weeks for you to recover completely, though healing may continue for 3-4 weeks or longer. And in most cases, you can get back to your daily routine within a day or two of your oral surgery. Once you’re approved for treatment, Dr. Goodyke can discuss further details with you and provide you with a more accurate recovery timeline.
"We treat each person like they are our own family members and we are very deliberate and thorough in providing the highest quality care that we can achieve."
