Oral surgery can seem frightening on the surface, but the team at The Dental Care Center offers comfortable surgical treatments and even laser dentistry to promote a speedy recovery.
Additionally, we offer a variety of options for sedation dentistry in Van Nuys, CA.
Let’s explore how oral surgery can enhance the health and appearance of your smile.
About Oral Surgery in Van Nuys, CA
Not every dental office is equipped to offer oral surgery, but our team has the skills and training to improve your oral health and smile's appearance through surgical treatment.
Examples of dental surgery include but are not limited to the following:
- Bone grafting for tooth replacement
- Dental implants placement
- Impacted wisdom tooth removal
Bone grafting can make you a candidate for dental implants if you’ve experienced jawbone loss. And dental implant placement is a straightforward surgery. We recommend wisdom tooth removal if the tooth is not coming in properly or pushing on other teeth. Wisdom teeth are late bloomers, coming in years after your final adult teeth, and they are not necessary to enjoy a complete and functional smile.
If you need dental surgery, your dentist will talk to you about what to expect, including whether your treatment will be laser-guided or other.
Sedation Dentistry
We’re pleased to offer local anesthesia—complete numbing of the treatment site—nitrous oxide and oral sedation.
Nitrous oxide is a safe and relaxing gas administered through a nose mask. Oral sedation is a medication taken before treatment.
With nitrous oxide, there are no lingering effects. However, you’ll need transportation and post-surgery rest if you opt for oral sedation.
