What is Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery?
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a specialized surgical field focusing on the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, injuries, and defects involving the hard and soft tissues of the mouth, jaws, and face. It encompasses a wide array of procedures to restore function and aesthetics.
Our Oral Surgery Services in Houston
We provide a variety of surgical procedures, always prioritizing your comfort
While our goal is always to preserve natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is necessary due to severe decay, damage, infection, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment. We perform tooth extractions with a gentle approach, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure, including options for sedation.
Wisdom teeth (third molars) often emerge impacted or without enough space, leading to pain, infection, crowding, or damage to adjacent teeth. We expertly perform wisdom teeth removal, minimizing discomfort and promoting a smooth recovery. We'll discuss your specific case and sedation options during your consultation.
Dental implants are the most durable and natural-looking solution for replacing missing teeth. We meticulously place dental implants into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for a future crown, bridge, or denture. Our advanced techniques ensure optimal success rates for your new smile.
For patients who lack sufficient jawbone density to support dental implants, bone grafting can regenerate the necessary bone structure. We perform various bone grafting techniques to create a strong and stable foundation, making implant placement possible for a wider range of patients.
To ensure optimal fit and comfort for dentures, we may perform minor surgical procedures to reshape the bone and gum tissues in your mouth. These "pre-prosthetic" procedures prepare your mouth for successful denture wear.
Our Commitment to Your Comfort & Safety
Your well-being is our top priority. We offer various sedation options (see our Sedation Dentistry page) to ensure a relaxed and comfortable experience during your oral surgery in Houston. Our clinic maintains the highest standards of sterilization and utilizes advanced technology for precise and efficient procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery in Houston
We offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and oral sedation to help you relax during your procedure. We'll discuss the best option for your comfort and the type of surgery during your consultation. You can learn more on our Sedation Dentistry page.
Recovery time varies but typically ranges from a few days to a week. We'll provide detailed post-operative instructions to manage swelling, pain, and ensure a smooth healing process.
With local anesthesia and sedation options, dental implant surgery is not painful. You may experience some mild discomfort or soreness in the days following the procedure, which can be managed with prescribed medication.
Bone grafting is a procedure to add bone material to areas of the jaw that have insufficient bone density. This is often necessary before dental implant placement to ensure there is enough healthy bone to support the implant securely.
