ORAL SURGERY
At Panhandle Dental, we provide advanced dental surgeries that you might not find at a typical family dental office. Because of the expansive skillset and advanced training of our dental team, we’re able to provide in-house oral surgery right here at our Amarillo dental clinic.
Surgical Extractions and Wisdom Tooth Removal
Surgical extractions are more detailed tooth removal procedures where teeth may be impacted or even broken-off at the gumline. The most common type of surgical extraction we provide is wisdom tooth removal. Because of their location, wisdom teeth are highly susceptible to impaction, pain, and infection. Our team will guide you through every step of the process, making it as smooth and comfortable as possible thanks to our in-house sedation options.
Alveoloplasty: Shaping the Foundation of Your Smile
Following a tooth extraction, the underlying bone may sometimes be uneven. This can pose a concern for future denture wearers. An alveoloplasty is a specialized procedure used to reshape and smooth the bony contour of your jaw to create a more suitable foundation for dentures, bridges, or even dental implants.
Tori Removal
Tori are bony growths that can develop on the roof of the mouth (palatal tori) or along the sides of your jaws. These growths can cause discomfort, interfere with eating, and make it challenging to wear a denture. At Panhandle Dental, we can perform tori removal surgery under sedation without referring you to a surgical center or specialist.
Dental Implant Installation
Although dental implant treatment is a minimally invasive procedure, more complex treatments like “All-on-4” or “full arch implants” are a bit more complex. Thanks to our experience in this area, our implant patients can enjoy a new smile in as little as 2-3 months.
Bone Grafting and Ridge Preservation
If you have bone loss due to an extraction or periodontal disease, bone grafting (augmentation) is a crucial procedure to rebuild the bone and provide a stable foundation for upcoming dental implants.
