Oral surgery encompasses a variety of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating conditions affecting the mouth, teeth, jaws, and face. These procedures range from simple tooth extractions to more complex surgeries involving the jaw and soft tissues.

Common Oral Surgery Procedures

At Layer Dental, we offer a wide range of oral surgery services to address various dental issues:

Tooth Extractions

When a tooth is severely damaged or decayed and cannot be saved, extraction may be necessary. This includes wisdom teeth removal to prevent overcrowding and infection.

Dental Implants

Dental implants provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. Our implant procedures involve surgically placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which act as a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Learn more on our dental implants page.

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting procedures are performed to build up the jawbone structure, often necessary before placing dental implants. This ensures a strong foundation for the implants and promotes successful integration.

Corrective Jaw Surgery

Also known as orthognathic surgery, this procedure corrects irregularities in the jaw bones, improving function and appearance. It can address issues like misaligned jaws, difficulty chewing, and facial imbalances.

Biopsies and Lesion Removal

Oral surgery can involve taking biopsies of suspicious lesions or growths in the mouth to diagnose potential conditions and remove benign or malignant growths.

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Layer. During this visit, he will assess your oral health, discuss your concerns, and determine the best surgical approach to meet your needs.

Treatment Planning

Once a surgical procedure is recommended, we will create a detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific condition. This plan will include the steps involved in the surgery, recovery instructions, and any necessary follow-up appointments.

The Surgical Procedure

On the day of your surgery, our team will ensure you are comfortable and well-informed about the process. We offer various sedation options to help you relax and minimize discomfort during the procedure.

Post-Surgery Care

After your surgery, we provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to promote healing and reduce the risk of complications. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor your recovery and address any concerns.
