Oral surgery can accomplish much more than resolving an immediate dental problem. The right procedure may relieve persistent discomfort, protect healthy tissues, prevent complications, or rebuild areas of the jaw affected by tooth and bone loss. At Bickler Dentistry, we provide several treatments that address both your current needs and the future health of your smile.

• Tooth Extractions – When extensive decay, infection, or damage leaves a tooth unable to be predictably restored, removing it may be the healthiest solution. An extraction can eliminate the source of discomfort while helping protect neighboring teeth, gums, and other oral structures.
• Wisdom Teeth Removal – Wisdom teeth can contribute to crowding and other dental concerns when there isn’t adequate room for them. When these teeth are visible and appropriate for in-office treatment, Dr. Bickler can remove them to help protect the rest of your smile.
• Bone Grafts – Tooth loss and other oral health problems can leave areas of the jaw without enough bone to support a dental implant. Bone grafting places grafting material in these deficient areas to encourage new bone formation and create a stronger foundation for future implant treatment.
• Ridge Augmentation – Losing teeth can sometimes leave depressions or irregularities along the jaw ridge. Ridge augmentation rebuilds these areas to improve the shape of the jaw and may provide the additional support needed when preparing for dental implants.

Our goal is to address the underlying problem while considering what your smile will need in the years ahead. If a tooth must be removed, for example, preserving or rebuilding the surrounding bone may give you more options for replacing it later. Careful planning allows us to look beyond immediate relief and support lasting oral function, health, and appearance.

Having several surgical procedures available in the dental office can also make your experience more straightforward. You can receive your evaluation, treatment recommendations, and appropriate follow-up care from a team already familiar with your dental history and goals.
