At North Atlanta Family Dentistry in Johns Creek, our oral surgery services are designed to make complex treatments manageable and comfortable. From wisdom tooth removal to bone grafting and dental implant placement, we use high-resolution 3D diagnostics and gentle techniques to ensure precision, safety, and a smooth recovery. Whether addressing infection, preparing for restorative work, or performing a necessary extraction, we prioritize your comfort every step of the way.
Wisdom Teeth Extractions
We carefully monitor the development of wisdom teeth, which often emerge in the late teens or early twenties. Impacted or misaligned wisdom teeth can lead to pain, infection, cysts, and damage to neighboring teeth.
Using digital imaging, we identify potential problems early and provide gentle, stress-free extractions, often with sedation options. Removing problematic wisdom teeth protects your long-term oral health by preventing crowding, decay, gum disease, and structural damage to adjacent teeth.
Tooth Extractions
Sometimes, removing a tooth is the best option for overall oral health. Severe decay, trauma, or advanced periodontal disease can make extraction necessary to prevent infection and relieve pain. Our team ensures a comfortable, virtually painless experience with local anesthetics and sedation dentistry, followed by a personalized recovery plan and guidance on replacement options like implants or bridges.
Root Canals
Root canals save teeth that would otherwise need extraction due to infection or inflammation of the tooth pulp. We carefully clean and seal the canals to stop infection, relieve pain, and preserve your natural bite. Modern anesthetics and techniques make this routine procedure comfortable and effective, allowing you to keep your natural tooth for a lifetime.
Bone Grafting
Bone grafting strengthens areas of the jaw where bone has been lost due to tooth loss, gum disease, or trauma. Biocompatible graft material encourages your body to grow new, healthy bone, creating a solid foundation for dental implants and maintaining facial structure. Grafting can be done during extractions or as a preparatory step for restorations.
Frenectomy
A frenectomy releases tight or restrictive tissue in the mouth, such as a tongue-tie or lip-tie, improving function and comfort. In infants, it can resolve breastfeeding difficulties; in older children and adults, it improves speech, prevents gum issues, and closes persistent gaps. This quick, non-invasive procedure supports proper oral development and function.
Sinus Lifts
A sinus lift restores bone in the upper jaw to allow for secure dental implant placement. By gently lifting the sinus membrane and placing grafting material, we create a thicker, stronger foundation for implants.
This procedure ensures that patients with significant bone loss can have the support they need to receive implant-supported replacement teeth.
