Our experienced doctors, with caring and friendly staff who strive to make you feel at home, perform a wide range of oral surgical procedures right here in our privately-owned office in Round Rock, minimizing the need for outside referrals. We utilize advanced technology and a gentle approach to ensure your experience is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
Soem of the top oral surgery services at Acre Wood Dental include:
Sinus Lift
When teeth are lost in the upper jaw, especially the back teeth, the natural bone can resorb, leading to insufficient bone height for dental implants due to the proximity of the maxillary sinuses. A sinus lift, or sinus augmentation, is a procedure that adds bone to your upper jaw in the area of your molars and premolars.
To perform sinus lift surgery, we'll first use 3D digital X-rays and CBCT scans to precisely measure your existing bone and the location of your sinuses. A small incision is made in your gum tissue to expose the bone in the upper jaw. Bone graft material is placed into the newly created space, and the gum tissue is then closed with sutures and a healing period of several months allows the bone graft to integrate with your natural bone, creating a solid foundation for future dental implants.
Tooth Extractions
While our primary goal is always to save your natural teeth, sometimes an extraction is the best course of action for your oral health. This may be due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or to prepare for orthodontic treatment or dentures. We'll take care to keep you comfortable throughout the procedure and provide you with detailed instructions for at-home care to promote proper healing.
Wisdom Teeth Extraction
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, often need to be extracted because they can become impacted (unable to erupt properly), leading to pain, infection, and damage to adjacent teeth. If you or your teen is ready to have your wisdom teeth removed, our team will help you determine the best, healthiest time for the procedure.
Root Canal Therapy
When the pulp inside a tooth (containing nerves and blood vessels) becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay or trauma, a root canal is often necessary to save the tooth and prevent extraction.
To perform gentle root canal therapy, our team will start by numbing the tooth and the surrounding area. A small opening is created in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp, providing room for our team to carefully remove the pulp and clean and shape the inside of the root canals. The canals are filled and sealed to prevent reinfection and topped with a temporary filling restoration. For most patients, a final, permanent dental crown will later be placed to further protect, strengthen, and restore the tooth.
Dental Implants
Dental implants are a highly effective and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root, which then supports a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. At Acre Wood Dental in Round Rock, we specialize in All-on-5 implants, completing the implant placement from start to finish and providing a complete arch of teeth supported by just four implants.
Whether you need to replace a single tooth, a full arch, or your complete set of teeth, our team offers comprehensive dental implant treatment to ensure your smile gets the care it needs!
