Comfortable, Relaxed Procedures
I'm a big believer in discussing with patients their options for sedation, for making sure they're relaxed, making sure that they have a sense of control in what's going on. Obviously, we're doing the procedures. I'm doing the oral surgery. But from years and years of doing this, I feel that patients having some control over what to expect the day of surgery, their recovery, the things that they can do to actively participate on the front end with getting their bodies ready, minimizing inflammation, making some lifestyle changes before and after surgery is really helpful to get them in a better state of mind to go through surgery. Then the other part of that is sedation, so we do offer a lot of sedation options for patients, including minimal conscious sedation, where we use certain sedative medications along with nitrous oxide. And patients do a great job. They really are comfortable during the procedure. The majority of them don't recall the procedure. So that's always very, very helpful for patients. But I think more than anything, to let them understand what the process looks like and what to expect before and after really makes the experience much better for them.

Find The Right Oral Surgery Service For Your Smile
We may be a general dentist office, but few places can match the variety of oral surgeries that we provide in-house:
- Tooth Removal/Extractions — Tooth removals are among the most common dental surgeries. You may need a tooth extracted to prepare for orthodontic care or to get dental implants. Severely damaged teeth may need to be removed as well if they can’t be restored.
- Wisdom Teeth Removal — Wisdom teeth can cause a lot of problems. If they become impacted, they can increase your risk of cavities and gum disease. They also can affect your smile and your bite in negative ways. Dr. Drew can remove them if necessary to eliminate these issues.
- Ridge Augmentation — This procedure often accompanies a tooth extraction. When teeth are removed, it leaves empty sockets in your jawbone. Augmentation is a method of filling the sockets with bone tissue. This can help sustain it to prepare for implant placement at a later date.
- Sinus Lift — This procedure may be necessary for receiving dental implants in your upper jaw. If there is not enough bone to support the implants, this procedure offers us a way to build up that area.
- Gum Grafts — Gum recession can cause a reduction in gum tissue. Recession can result from periodontal disease, poor oral care, aggressive tooth brushing, and hormonal changes. A gum graft is a way of transplanting gum tissue to restore your gumline.
- Bone Grafts — Bone loss is often a consequence of tooth loss if those teeth are not replaced. A bone graft may be needed to rebuild the jawbone so it can support dental implants.
