Our Oral Surgery Services
Tooth Extractions
If a tooth is damaged, decayed beyond repair, or causing crowding, an extraction might be the best solution. We offer both straightforward extractions and more complex surgical removals, including impacted wisdom teeth, with a focus on comfort and efficiency. Whether it’s one tooth or multiple, we’ll walk you through every step of the process and help prepare you for what’s next, from healing tips to tooth replacement options.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
Is it time for your wisdom teeth to come out? Don’t worry, we make the process simple. Impacted or infected wisdom teeth can cause pain and lead to other dental problems if left untreated. Our team has years of experience with surgical wisdom tooth extractions—including impacted cases—helping patients stay comfortable and safe from start to finish. We’ll assess your case with advanced imaging, make a plan tailored to your needs, and provide full sedation options as appropriate.
Bone Grafting
Enhance your candidacy for dental implants with in-house bone grafting. Whether you’ve lost bone volume due to extractions, injury, or long-term tooth loss, bone grafting rebuilds your jaw and prepares your mouth for what comes next. Our team uses the latest material options and surgical techniques to restore density and structure where it’s needed, often all in-house in our Billings or Helena locations.
Sinus Lifts
A sinus lift is a specific type of bone graft that adds height to the upper jaw in preparation for dental implants. This procedure is performed in-house at our primary surgical locations and is part of many successful Full Arch or All-on-X treatment plans. With careful planning and modern imaging, we make this process as smooth and predictable as possible.
Alveoloplasty
Alveoloplasty involves reshaping the jawbone, usually after extractions, to ensure smooth and stable contours for dentures or implants. This minor surgical procedure plays a major role in your comfort and the long-term success of restorations. It’s one more way our team delivers detail-oriented, comprehensive care that’s tailored to your smile.
Tori Removal
Oral tori are extra bony growths that can interfere with dentures or other prosthetics. When needed, we can remove them surgically right here in our office, using advanced techniques and sedation options to ensure your comfort. It’s a simple but transformative step toward improving the fit and feel of your dental appliances.
