Oral Surgery in Elizabeth, NJ
Not every dental issue can be resolved with a filling or a crown. Impacted teeth, severe decay, and certain jaw or gum conditions sometimes call for a surgical approach instead. At Boca Dental, oral surgery is handled with the same attention to detail as any other procedure, so patients know exactly what to expect before, during, and after treatment.
WHAT IT IS
Some dental problems need more than a filling or crown to resolve. Oral surgery at Boca Dental covers procedures like tooth extractions, treatment for impacted wisdom teeth, gum surgery, and bone-related issues that affect the jaw or surrounding tissue. These cases often involve a tooth that's too damaged to restore, growing in at an angle that threatens nearby teeth, or contributing to ongoing infection. Rather than treating surgery as a last resort, our team plans each procedure carefully so the outcome is predictable and the recovery is as smooth as possible.
HOW IT WORKS
Every surgical procedure starts with a detailed evaluation, including X-rays or imaging that gives us a full picture of the tooth, bone, and surrounding structures. We use this information to map out the safest approach and talk you through what the day of surgery will look like. Local anesthesia keeps you numb throughout, and sedation options are available for more involved procedures or for patients who feel anxious about surgery. Once the procedure wraps up, we send you home with specific instructions on pain management, swelling, and diet, and we schedule a follow-up visit to check on healing.
HOW IT HELPS
An impacted tooth or a lingering infection rarely improves on its own, and putting off surgery usually means dealing with more pain and a longer recovery later. Addressing the problem directly clears the source of discomfort and stops complications like infection or bone damage from spreading to healthy teeth.
