At Smiles of Lombard, we reserve dental surgery for situations where it’s essential for your health and well-being. Our team focuses on conservative treatments first, only recommending surgery when absolutely necessary. If you have a damaged or infected tooth, we will explore non-surgical options to restore it. However, there are cases where surgery is the best solution. For instance, if an infection poses a threat to your other teeth, removal may be necessary before it causes more damage.
Should you need dental surgery to preserve your smile, prepare for implants, or as part of a full-mouth restoration or cosmetic enhancement, we ensure that your comfort remains our top priority. You won’t need to visit an outside oral surgeon for these procedures:
- Tooth Extraction – If a tooth is infected or severely damaged, your dentist will carefully remove it to prevent further oral health issues. After healing, we will discuss options for restoring your smile.
- Sinus Lifts – A sinus lift may be necessary to prepare your upper jaw for dental implants by raising the sinus floor and adding bone material.
- Bone Grafts – If your jaw needs strengthening due to bone loss, we perform bone grafting to rebuild it for better support.
- Gum Grafts – If you have gum recession, your dentist can graft tissue, either from a donor or your own mouth, to restore healthy gum tissue.
- Cosmetic Gum Surgery – Certain gum procedures can enhance your smile’s appearance. Using advanced laser technology, we reshape your gumline with minimal discomfort.
At Smiles of Lombard, we are committed to your comfort, making every step of your procedure as easy as possible. We can also use platelet-rich fibrin (PRF), a substance derived from your own blood, to accelerate the healing process.
