Tooth Extraction
Sometimes, the best thing to do for your smile is to pull out a troublesome tooth. If you need an extraction — including impacted wisdom teeth — our oral surgeon will take care of you.
Tooth extractions are one of the most common oral surgery procedures we perform. They are often necessary when a tooth is too damaged by decay, trauma, or infection to be saved with restorative treatment like a filling or crown. In such cases, removing the tooth prevents further oral health complications and makes way for proper healing or replacement.
Our team takes every step to ensure your comfort during tooth extractions. We offer local anesthesia, and for more complex cases or anxious patients, sedation options are available. After the procedure, we'll walk you through detailed aftercare instructions to promote quick, pain-free healing.
We also offer guidance on tooth replacement options following extraction — such as implants or bridges — so you’re never left wondering about your next steps. Whether your extraction is planned or the result of an emergency, Dr. Martinson and her team are here to restore your smile with care and confidence.
Sinus Lifts
If you need dental implants but don’t have enough space in your upper jaw, a sinus lift can help. This procedure increases the amount of available bone for placing dental implants.
A sinus lift is one of the more advanced oral surgery procedures, but it plays a crucial role in helping patients become candidates for implants. Over time, damaged or missing teeth can cause bone loss in the upper jaw, especially near the sinus cavity. When this happens, there may not be enough bone height to safely place an implant.
During a sinus lift, we gently raise the sinus membrane and place bone grafting material into the newly created space. This builds up the bone structure and creates a stable foundation for future implants.
While it may sound intimidating, sinus lifts are highly successful and well-tolerated. Most patients report only minor discomfort afterward, and the long-term benefits — like restoring chewing function and preventing further bone loss — make it well worth the effort.
Bone Grafts
If you need dental implants but you don't have enough bone mass in your jaw to support them, you can get a bone graft to rebuild the strength of your upper or lower jawbone.
Bone grafting is a versatile and essential component of many oral surgery procedures. It’s commonly used when the jawbone has deteriorated due to long-term tooth loss, infection, or trauma. A weakened jaw can make it difficult or even impossible to support dental implants without first restoring its structure.
We use high-quality grafting material that may come from a synthetic source, a donor, or even your own bone. Over time, your body integrates this material, stimulating new bone growth and creating a stronger, more reliable foundation for implants or other dental work.
Bone grafts are also beneficial for patients preparing for dentures or other restorative treatments. By improving bone density, we improve the overall fit, comfort, and function of prosthetics, helping you achieve a more confident, natural-looking smile.
Crown Lengthening
Do you have a “gummy smile”? A simple crown lengthening procedure done by our expert oral surgeon can give your teeth more room to shine — both aesthetically and functionally.
Crown lengthening is one of the less invasive but highly effective oral surgery procedures we offer. It involves removing excess gum tissue (and sometimes bone) to expose more of the tooth’s surface. This can make your smile appear more balanced or allow for the proper placement of a crown or filling when a tooth is broken or damaged below the gum line.
Patients with damaged or decayed teeth near the gumline can benefit greatly from this treatment, especially if restorations like crowns or veneers are being considered. It also plays an important role in improving oral hygiene, since excessive gum coverage can make it harder to keep your teeth clean.
Crown lengthening is typically completed in a single visit and has a relatively short recovery time. Our team will ensure you understand every step of the process and feel completely comfortable throughout your appointment.
