Comprehensive Dental Surgery in San Jose

Oral surgery encompasses a wide range of specialized treatments designed to repair severe damage, remove infections, and rebuild your facial structure. We tailor every single surgical plan to meet your exact anatomical needs.

Advanced Bone Grafting

When you lose a permanent tooth, your jawbone naturally begins to shrink and deteriorate over time. If you want to replace that missing tooth with a permanent implant, you need a strong, thick bone foundation. We perform precise bone grafting procedures to rebuild this lost tissue. We gently place specialized grafting material into the weakened area, encouraging your body to regenerate fresh, solid bone over a few months.

Surgical Tooth Extractions

While we always strive to save your natural teeth, severe decay or sudden physical trauma sometimes makes a tooth entirely unsalvageable. We perform safe, highly controlled surgical extractions for teeth that have broken off at the gum line or remain trapped beneath the tissue. Prompt removal stops deep bacterial infections from spreading into your bloodstream and instantly relieves your chronic pain.

Precision Dental Implant Placement

Replacing a missing tooth permanently requires expert surgical placement. We carefully insert tiny, biocompatible titanium posts directly into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Because we use advanced digital mapping, we place these posts at the precise angle and depth required for maximum long-term stability.

Oral Pathology and Biopsies

If we notice an unusual lesion, lump, or discolored patch of tissue inside your mouth during a routine exam, we act quickly. We perform gentle surgical biopsies to remove a tiny sample of the suspicious tissue. We send this sample to a specialized medical laboratory for thorough testing. Early detection of oral pathology significantly improves your long-term health outcomes.

Our Reassuring Approach to Patient Comfort

The phrase "dental surgery" often triggers severe anxiety for many patients. We completely understand this natural fear, which is why we built our entire clinical process around your absolute physical comfort. We utilize highly effective local anesthetics to numb your surgical site entirely. You will not feel any sharp pain while we carefully perform your procedure.

For patients who experience intense anxiety or require lengthy, complex treatments, we offer various safe sedation options. From mild oral conscious sedation to deeply relaxing IV sedation, we tailor your pain management plan to your specific comfort level. You can simply drift into a peaceful state of relaxation while we rebuild your healthy smile.

Navigating Your Post-Surgical Recovery

Proper at-home care ensures your gums and jawbone heal quickly and safely following any surgical procedure. We provide highly detailed, written aftercare instructions before you leave our clinic.

You must stick to a soft-food diet for the first few days. Enjoy cool, highly nutritious options like blended fruit smoothies, applesauce, yogurt, and mashed potatoes. Avoid hot liquids and extremely crunchy foods that might irritate your sensitive healing tissue.

Rest as much as possible and keep your head slightly elevated using extra pillows when you sleep. You can easily manage normal post-operative swelling by applying a cold ice pack to the outside of your cheek for fifteen minutes at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Will I be awake during my San Jose dental surgery?

This depends entirely on the specific sedation method you choose. With standard local anesthesia, you remain fully awake but feel absolutely no pain. If you opt for oral conscious sedation, you will feel deeply relaxed and might even fall asleep lightly. With IV sedation, you will sleep through the entire procedure comfortably.

2. How long does a typical surgical procedure take?

The duration varies widely based on the complexity of your specific treatment. A single surgical extraction might take only forty-five minutes, while placing multiple dental implants or performing extensive bone grafting can take a few hours. We will give you a precise time estimate during your consultation.

3. Do I need someone to drive me home afterward?

If you receive any form of sedative medication, including oral pills or IV sedation, you must have a trusted friend or family member drive you home. The sedative effects linger for several hours, making it unsafe for you to operate a vehicle. If you only receive local numbing injections, you can safely drive yourself.

4. What happens if my surgical site starts bleeding at home?

Slight oozing is completely normal for the first 24 hours after oral surgery. If you experience active bleeding, bite down firmly on a clean piece of moist gauze for thirty consecutive minutes. The steady, direct pressure helps a natural blood clot form. If heavy bleeding persists, contact our office immediately.

5. Does dental insurance cover oral surgery procedures?

Many dental insurance plans cover a significant portion of necessary surgical procedures, such as extractions and biopsies. Medical insurance may also cover certain major jaw reconstructions. Our highly knowledgeable billing team will carefully review your specific benefits and explain exactly what your policy covers before we begin treatment.
