In need of oral surgery in Waco, TX? At Acre Wood Dental, we perform a variety of surgical procedures, including tooth extraction, sinus lift, and root canal therapy, all performed with special attention and care to your comfort. Oral surgery can be recommended for oral health concerns like severe tooth decay, infection, overcrowding, missing teeth, jaw problems, facial trauma, or cosmetic procedures. Our experienced dentists at Acre Wood Dental are prepared to diagnose and treat your needs with our comprehensive in-house services.
Our top oral surgeries in Waco, TX include:
Sinus Lift
A sinus lift surgery, also referred to as a sinus augmentation, is performed when bone is lacking in the upper jaw that would support a dental implant. A small incision is placed in the gum, and the sinus membrane is gently lifted to create space for a bone graft. The bone graft will take several months to heal before an implant can be placed. At Acre Wood Dental, our skilled dentists can correct a deficiency in bone quality and quantity to ensure dental implants are successful and long-lasting.
Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Wisdom teeth are the last set of adult teeth to develop and can sometimes cause issues in the mouth, like tooth pain and crowding. Our 3D imaging technology can help diagnose if wisdom tooth extraction is right for you. This surgical procedure removes one or more wisdom teeth, located in the back corners of the mouth. Wisdom teeth require surgical removal if impacted, or trapped beneath the gums, or if they are difficult to clean. An impacted wisdom tooth can cause damage to adjacent teeth and can even cause infection.
At Acre Wood Dental, we will discuss concerns and treatment options with you to determine your best treatment plan for wisdom tooth extraction.
Tooth Extractions
When a decayed, infected, or damaged tooth needs to be removed, Acre Wood Dental is ready to offer you top care. From anesthesia, where the area surrounding the tooth is numbed to minimize discomfort, to post-operative care instructions, our skilled dentists will provide gentle care to ease anxieties and provide the best possible outcomes.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy is a procedure designed to save an injured or infected tooth by removing the damaged inner area of the tooth, then cleaning and sealing the tooth to prevent further infection. A gentle root canal procedure at Acre Wood Dental in Waco can save an infected tooth from extraction. If you are experiencing severe pain, gum tenderness, or tooth sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures, you might be a candidate for a root canal. Our team will provide the care you need and prioritize your comfort every step of the way!
