What You Need to Know About Oral Surgery in Kaufman, TX

Oral surgery refers to any surgical procedure involving the mouth or jaw, including tooth extractions and dental implant placement. While many dentists refer patients to specialists for these procedures, this can sometimes be inconvenient or less preferred for patients. Dr. Jerry James is trained in oral surgery, allowing patients at Noble Oaks Dentistry in Kaufman, TX, to receive oral surgery treatments right in our office. This convenient approach saves time and ensures patients receive care from a dentist and team they already know and trust.

Why would I need oral surgery?

Sometimes basic treatments are just not enough to fix a problem. If a tooth is missing, severely decayed, badly cracked, has become infected or impacted, or if there is crowding, oral surgery may be the best way to alleviate pain, prevent infection from spreading, restore appearance and function, and prevent further problems.

Examples of Oral Surgery Procedures

Wisdom Tooth Extraction

Wisdom tooth extraction is a common oral surgery procedure. Because wisdom teeth emerge in the late teens, long after all the other permanent teeth have, they often cause problems with the other teeth or become impacted. Dr. James may recommend extracting one or all of them, depending on how they are affecting your oral health, your bite, and the alignment of your teeth.

Dental Implant Placement

Once a tooth has been extracted or falls out, it naturally leaves a space where it once was. In many cases—for health as well as aesthetic reasons—patients choose to replace missing teeth rather than have a gap in their smile. Dental implants are a popular choice for replacing missing teeth, but placing them requires the patient to undergo a surgical procedure that some dentists aren’t trained to perform. Dr. James, however, is qualified to perform dental implant placement.
