Conditions We Treat with Oral Surgery
Oral surgery is often necessary when other restorative or preventive treatments aren’t sufficient. At Miller Dental Group, our team offers a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating a range of oral health conditions that require surgical care.
We commonly perform oral surgery for:
- Tooth extractions, including impacted or non-restorable teeth
- Wisdom tooth removal
- Bone grafting to preserve jawbone integrity
- Preparation for dental implants
- Treatment of oral infections or abscesses
- Removal of cysts or benign oral growths
- Surgical treatment for trauma or injury
In cases involving gum disease or structural issues, we also collaborate with our restorative dentistry team to ensure complete functional recovery.
Our Oral Surgery Process
At Miller Dental Group, your surgical care begins with a detailed consultation and diagnostic evaluation. Using advanced technology such as 3D CT scanning and digital x-rays, we assess the area and develop a customized treatment plan that prioritizes comfort, precision, and minimal downtime.
Here’s what you can expect during your oral surgery experience:
- Initial Evaluation
We examine the issue, review your medical history, and take any necessary imaging to plan your procedure accurately. - Sedation Options
Depending on your needs, we may recommend local anesthesia, IV sedation, or nitrous oxide for optimal comfort and relaxation. - Surgical Procedure
Your oral surgery is performed using state-of-the-art tools and techniques, ensuring efficient treatment and reduced healing time. - Post-Operative Care
We provide detailed aftercare instructions and schedule follow-up visits as needed. Our team is always available to answer questions during your recovery.
Our goal is to make the surgical experience as seamless as possible while achieving lasting oral health results.
Technology-Driven Surgical Precision
We use advanced diagnostic and surgical tools to improve safety, speed, and outcomes:
- Digital x-rays for detailed internal views
- 3D imaging for bone structure analysis and surgical planning
- Laser dentistry for soft-tissue procedures and minimal bleeding
- Intraoral cameras to monitor healing and treatment outcomes
This technology allows us to deliver a higher standard of care, whether you're undergoing a routine extraction or preparing for full dental implant restoration.
Sedation Options for Anxiety-Free Oral Surgery
We understand that oral surgery can create anxiety for many patients. That’s why we offer several sedation options tailored to your comfort level and medical needs. For more complex procedures or for patients with dental anxiety, IV sedation provides deep relaxation while allowing you to remain responsive and safe.
We also offer nitrous oxide sedation (laughing gas) for milder cases or shorter procedures. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities.
When to Consider Oral Surgery
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms or conditions, an evaluation for oral surgery may be recommended:
- Persistent tooth pain or infection
- Swelling or tenderness in the gums or jaw
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
- Wisdom teeth eruption or discomfort
- Jawbone loss in preparation for implants or dentures
- A tooth that is broken below the gumline or impacted
In some cases, oral surgery is a necessary step before receiving other treatments such as veneers or clear aligners, particularly when alignment or space issues exist.

Frequently Asked Questions About Oral Surgery
Do I need to see an oral surgeon for extractions?
Not always. At Miller Dental Group, our general dentists are trained to perform many types of oral surgery, including extractions and bone grafting, right in our office—often without needing a referral.
How long does recovery from oral surgery take?
Recovery times vary by procedure. Simple extractions may heal in a few days, while more complex procedures (such as bone grafts) may require several weeks. We provide complete aftercare guidance for a smooth healing process.
Will oral surgery be painful?
We use local anesthesia and offer sedation to ensure you’re comfortable during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is typically managed with over-the-counter or prescribed medication, along with cold compresses and rest.
What if I need a bone graft before getting implants?
Our team regularly performs bone grafting to prepare the jaw for successful dental implant placement. This is a common and highly successful procedure to rebuild the bone in areas where volume has been lost.
Is IV sedation safe?
Yes. IV sedation is administered by trained professionals under controlled conditions. We monitor you throughout the procedure to ensure safety and comfort.
