Receive Comfortable Care If You Need Dental Surgery

Our team works hard to ensure that you get exactly the treatment you need to maintain your best smile. Sometimes that means surgery needs to be performed on your mouth. To give you the best care possible without your having to go to an oral surgeon, we offer several types of dental surgery:

  • Tooth Extractions – Our team always tries to save your damaged or hurting tooth if we can. If it is necessary to remove it, we’ll be as gentle as possible with the extraction.
  • Cosmetic Gum Surgery – You can receive gum recession treatment or gum reshaping to help your gums look their best.
  • Dental Implant Placement – Your dentist can place your implants right here using a computer-guided procedure. You won’t have to go anywhere else for your implant treatment.
  • Bone Grafts – A bone graft may be necessary if you want dental implants but your jaw is too weak or thin to support them. We’ll place special material in your jaw to stimulate the growth of new bone cells.
  • Sinus Lifts – This procedure is a type of bone graft that makes more room for dental implants on your upper jaw.

Call the team at Above the Gate Dentistry today at 916-299-8983 for comfortable, precise oral surgery in El Dorado Hills. You can also make an appointment online.

Common Questions About Oral Surgery
When would I need oral surgery? +

Some of the most common reasons you may need oral surgery are removing a tooth that is too damaged to save or causing dental problems, removing teeth for dentures or other restorations, or preparing for dental implants with a bone graft or other procedure.

When can I exercise after oral surgery? +

For the first 24 hours after your oral surgery, you should not exercise at all. Doing too much too fast can actually create problems and prolong healing. Overexertion can loosen the blood clot from an extraction site and cause a painful condition known as dry socket. After the first 24 hours, limit your exercise to low-impact activities for several more days.

How can I prepare for oral surgery? +

To prepare for your oral surgery, you should avoid smoking for at least 12 hours before the procedure and for 24 hours after. Most oral surgeries are done using only local anesthesia, which means you can have a light meal several hours before the procedure. We’ll give you detailed instructions on how to prepare. Depending on the type of surgery you receive, it’s recommended that you take at least one or two days off from work or school to rest and recover.
