Oral Surgery in Chicago, IL

What Is Oral Surgery?

Oral surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures performed on the teeth, gums, jaw, and surrounding structures. These procedures may be necessary to:

• Remove non-restorable or impacted teeth
• Rebuild bone structure in preparation for dental implants
• Treat jaw disorders or trauma
• Resolve chronic oral infections
• Support long-term restorative or cosmetic treatments

Our approach prioritizes both function and comfort. Using advanced imaging and local or sedation anesthesia as needed, we perform surgical procedures with precision and personalized care.

Common Oral Surgery Procedures We Offer

Our Chicago dental office is equipped to handle a variety of surgical needs, including:

• Tooth Extractions – Simple or surgical removal of decayed, damaged, or overcrowded teeth
• Wisdom Teeth Extractions – Removal of impacted or problematic third molars
• Bone Grafting – Restores jawbone structure to support implants or dentures
• Ridge Augmentation – Smooths and rebuilds jaw contours after tooth loss
• Implant placement coordination – As part of full mouth reconstruction or single-tooth replacement
• Surgical treatment of infections or cysts – To remove diseased tissue and restore oral health

In complex cases, we collaborate with specialists or refer to trusted oral surgeons to ensure continuity of care and optimal outcomes.

• Have a severely decayed or fractured tooth that cannot be restored
• Are preparing for implant-supported dentures
