What is Oral Surgery?
Oral surgery includes dental procedures that address concerns involving the teeth, gums, jawbone, or supporting oral structures when non-surgical care may not be sufficient. These treatments may include tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal, which may be recommended to relieve discomfort, address problematic teeth, and help prevent more serious complications.
At Westwood Dental Esthetics, surgical recommendations are made only after a careful evaluation of your symptoms, oral health, imaging, and treatment goals. When oral surgery is appropriate, our team uses modern techniques and comfort-focused care to help make the process as smooth and manageable as possible.
Comfort and Safety Throughout Your Care
At Westwood Dental Esthetics, patient safety and comfort guide every stage of oral surgical care. Before treatment, Dr. Kiai reviews your medical history, explains the recommended procedure, and discusses what to expect before, during, and after your visit. This helps patients feel more informed and better prepared for treatment.
For patients who feel anxious about dental procedures, sedation options may be discussed when appropriate. Depending on the treatment and individual needs, options such as nitrous oxide or oral sedation may help support a calmer, more relaxed experience during care.
Oral Surgery Services
Oral surgery services at Westwood Dental Esthetics focus on removing problematic teeth when needed to relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and protect long-term oral health. Each recommendation is based on a careful evaluation, clinical findings, and the patient’s overall treatment needs.
Wisdom teeth removal may be recommended when third molars are impacted, misaligned, painful, or likely to affect surrounding teeth and oral health.
Tooth extractions remove severely damaged, infected, impacted, or non-restorable teeth to help relieve discomfort and protect overall oral health.
