Oral Surgery / Wisdom Teeth Removal

Even though you may not like thinking about having surgery on your mouth, this type of care is sometimes necessary to maintain your dental health. You can count on the team at Skyview Dental for comfortable care if you need dental surgery. We'll keep your needs in mind at all times and listen carefully to your concerns. You don't need an oral surgeon for top-quality treatment.

We offer several types of oral surgery:

• Tooth Extractions - We'll gently remove your diseased or damaged tooth to prevent further problems.
• Wisdom Teeth Removal - Dr. Despain will extract your third molars to restore your oral health.
• Gum Reshaping - Gentle laser treatment will eliminate a gummy smile and give you more confidence.
• Gum Grafts - We'll take tissue from another area of your mouth and place it where your gums have receded.
• Bone Grafts - We will place a material in your jaw to stimulate the growth of new bone cells and prepare you for dental implants.
• Sinus Lifts - This procedure is a type of bone graft designed to make room for implants on your upper jaw.
• Ridge Augmentation - Dr. Despain can build up your jaw ridge either in preparation for implants or for esthetic purposes.

Wisdom teeth are your third set of molars. While they may not give you problems at all, they can also cause crowding, discomfort, or infection as these teeth emerge. At Skyview Dental, Dr. Despain offers in-house wisdom tooth removal with comfort, convenience, and safety in mind. With this procedure, you will:

• Prevent Pain and Crowding - Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can shift your other teeth out of alignment. Removing them early protects your overall bite.
• Lower Risk of Infection - When wisdom teeth only partially erupt, they can trap bacteria and food particles, increasing the risk of painful infections or cysts.
• Have a Comfortable Experience - With multiple sedation options available, including oral sedation and IV sedation, you can stay relaxed and calm throughout your wisdom teeth extraction.
• Benefit From Advanced Imaging - We use low-dose 3-D digital X-rays to assess your wisdom teeth's position and ensure a smooth, precise extraction.
• Avoid the Hassle of a Referral - Dr. Despain performs the entire procedure in-house, saving you time and hassle by avoiding outside specialists.

Your surgery will go smoothly thanks to Dr. Despain's experience and his investment in state-of-the-art technology. To plan your treatment and ensure a successful outcome, your dentist will use:

• Digital X-rays to capture images of your mouth to plan and help you understand our treatment recommendations
• Our CEREC technology for same-day crowns or bridges if you need to replace an extracted tooth
• Digital scanning to capture impressions of your teeth without messy trays of goop
• Intraoral cameras so you can see what we see during your examination

You can request sedation to relax during the procedure. You can also wear headphones to block out sounds of our equipment.
