At Endodontics and Dental Implants of Oklahoma, we provide specialized oral and maxillofacial surgery services to manage complex dental and facial conditions with surgical precision and personalized care. From routine extractions to corrective jaw procedures, our surgical treatments are performed in a safe, sterile, and technologically advanced environment.
As part of our commitment to Endodontics in Oklahoma, we integrate advanced diagnostics, 3D imaging, and collaborative treatment planning to ensure exceptional results in all surgical procedures.
What Is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a dental specialty focused on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of conditions affecting the mouth, jaws, face, and neck. These procedures are often required when a condition is beyond the scope of general dental care and must be managed with surgical expertise.
Our providers have advanced clinical training and experience performing a wide range of oral surgical procedures under local anesthesia and sedation, prioritizing patient safety and comfort at every step.
Conditions We Treat
Our oral and maxillofacial surgery services include the treatment of:
- Impacted and infected teeth (including wisdom teeth)
- Bone loss and jaw defects requiring grafting
- Oral pathology (cysts, benign tumors, lesions)
- Misaligned jaws and bite correction
- TMJ-related facial pain
- Orofacial trauma and injury
- Apicoectomy and root-end surgery
- Pre-prosthetic and implant preparation procedures
Whether you’ve been referred for surgical evaluation or need urgent care for a dental emergency, we provide thorough assessments and clear treatment plans.
Tooth Extractions and Surgical Removal
While we aim to preserve natural teeth whenever possible, extraction may be necessary when a tooth is:
- Severely decayed or damaged
- Impacted (especially third molars/wisdom teeth)
- Causing overcrowding before orthodontic treatment
- Contributing to advanced periodontal disease
Our approach to surgical extractions is minimally invasive, with a focus on post-operative comfort and fast recovery.
Bone Grafting and Ridge Augmentation
In preparation for dental implants or to correct jaw defects, we provide bone grafting procedures that rebuild and strengthen the jawbone. Using high-quality graft materials and precision surgical techniques, we help create a stable foundation for future restorations.
Apicoectomy and Endodontic Surgery
When a root canal alone is not sufficient to resolve a periapical infection, an apicoectomy (root-end surgery) may be recommended. This procedure involves removing the tip of the root and sealing the canal to prevent reinfection, preserving the natural tooth.
Microsurgical techniques and digital imaging support the accuracy and success of our endodontic surgical procedures.
TMJ and Facial Pain Management
For patients experiencing jaw dysfunction or facial discomfort related to temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ), we provide surgical and non-surgical treatment options designed to restore function and relieve pain. Evaluation includes imaging, clinical examination, and consultation with other specialists when needed.
Oral Pathology and Biopsies
Early diagnosis is critical in managing suspicious oral lesions or abnormalities. We perform biopsies and pathology assessments for:
- White or red patches in the mouth
- Persistent sores or ulcers
- Unexplained lumps or swellings
- Changes in gum or soft tissue appearance
If needed, we coordinate with oral pathologists for diagnostic confirmation and ongoing care.
Technology-Enhanced Surgical Planning
Our office uses CBCT 3D imaging and digital planning software to guide all surgical procedures with confidence. This technology allows for:
- Precise visualization of bone structure and nerve pathways
- Accurate treatment planning
- Minimally invasive incisions
- Improved safety and faster recovery
We are proud to lead with technology as part of our commitment to excellence in Endodontics Oklahoma.
