Oral Surgery by Local Dentist

Oral surgery includes a variety of surgical procedures performed in and around the mouth to treat concerns involving the teeth, gums, and jaw. At Romine Family Dental, we provide a range of in-office surgical services focused on patient comfort, safety, and efficiency. Whether you need a simple extraction or a more advanced procedure, our team delivers expert care in a familiar and supportive environment.

A tooth extraction may be recommended when a tooth is too damaged or decayed to be restored with treatments such as fillings, crowns, or root canal therapy. Extractions may also be performed to relieve overcrowding or prepare for orthodontic care.

Common reasons for tooth extraction include:

• Severe tooth decay or infection
• Advanced gum disease
• Teeth that are cracked or fractured beyond repair
• Preparing for braces or dentures
• Retained baby teeth

We perform extractions gently and precisely, using local anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the procedure. After treatment, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and discuss replacement options if needed.

Full mouth reconstruction refers to a combination of restorative and surgical procedures designed to rebuild and repair the teeth, gums, jaw, and supporting structures after significant trauma or long-term oral health issues. Whether caused by sports injuries, accidents, falls, or severe dental disease, these situations can be both painful and overwhelming. Our team at Romine Family Dental is here to evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan that restores comfort, function, and confidence.

Full mouth reconstruction may involve addressing both soft tissue injuries and fractures.

Soft Tissue Injuries

These include cuts or lacerations to the lips, cheeks, tongue, gums, or the soft and hard palate. Proper treatment helps prevent infection, promotes healing, and ensures that oral function and appearance are preserved.

Fractures and Bone Injuries

Trauma can affect the small bones in the mouth, the jawbone, or even areas extending toward the nasal cavity or facial structure. Treatment may include rebuilding damaged bone, stabilizing teeth, or using dental implants as part of the reconstruction process to restore alignment, stability, and function.

Our goal is to provide precise, compassionate surgical care that supports long-term healing and restores both oral health and facial balance.

Wisdom teeth, or third molars, typically appear in the late teens or early twenties. While some erupt without problems, many become impacted or cause discomfort due to limited space in the jaw.

Common reasons for wisdom teeth removal include:

• Impacted teeth that cannot fully emerge
• Crowding or shifting of surrounding teeth
• Pain, swelling, or gum infection
• Tooth decay or cysts around impacted molars

Removing wisdom teeth is a common preventive procedure that helps protect long-term oral health. Our team evaluates your X-rays, explains the process, and uses modern techniques to ensure a smooth, comfortable experience from start to finish.

Before any oral surgery, we will:

• Complete a thorough exam and take digital X-rays
• Review treatment options and explain every step of the procedure
• Discuss your medical history and answer any questions
• Provide personalized post-surgery instructions for a smooth recovery

When appropriate, sedation options may be recommended to help you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout your visit.
