Oral Surgery in Inglewood, CA

Bone Grafting

Bone grafting is a crucial surgical procedure designed to replace and regenerate bone lost in the jaw, often following tooth removal. When a tooth is lost, the surrounding jawbone no longer receives the natural stimulation required for maintenance and begins to lose density. This procedure becomes essential when significant bone loss compromises the stability needed for future dental work. During the procedure, a specialized grafting material is placed at the site of bone deficiency. This material acts as a scaffold, encouraging your body’s natural ability to regrow its own strong, healthy bone. This process rebuilds a solid foundation, ensuring the successful integration of dental implants and restoring the structural integrity needed for a beautiful and fully functional smile.

Tooth Extractions

At our practice, we are committed to preserving your natural teeth, but we recognize that a tooth extraction is sometimes the most effective path to ensure your long-term oral health. Problematic teeth—whether due to severe decay, advanced infection, extensive damage, or impaction—can lead to significant pain and risk the health of surrounding teeth if not removed. Extractions are also commonly performed to address impacted wisdom teeth or to create necessary space for orthodontic treatment. The procedure is performed gently with local anesthetic to ensure you are comfortable, and sedation options are available for anxious patients. Following the extraction, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and prevent complications. To maintain your smile's function and prevent issues like jawbone shifts, we will also discuss excellent replacement options, such as dental implants or bridges, to fully restore your dental health.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

The extraction of wisdom teeth, or third molars, is a common and highly beneficial procedure for preventing future pain, infection, and complex dental issues. While some individuals' wisdom teeth emerge correctly, many become impacted—trapped beneath the gums or growing at an improper angle—leading to crowding, damage to adjacent teeth, and painful infections. As these teeth are not essential for modern function, their preventive removal is often recommended, particularly for young adults when the procedure and recovery can be simpler. Our oral surgeons perform this procedure with a focus on patient comfort, utilizing various forms of anesthesia to ensure a painless experience. By proactively addressing problematic wisdom teeth, we help you safeguard your oral health and maintain a properly aligned, beautiful smile.
