Oral Surgery in Newbury Park
If a dentist has told you that a tooth needs to come out, your wisdom teeth are causing trouble, or a spot in your mouth needs a closer look, you probably want clear answers fast. Our team at 805 Dentistry helps patients from Newbury Park understand their oral surgery options. Whenever possible, we handle diagnosis, imaging, sedation, and treatment within our own practice. You do not need a referral to see us, so you can call and schedule a consultation directly.
Oral surgery covers procedures that treat the teeth, gums, jawbone, and surrounding soft tissue surgically. For many of our Newbury Park patients, it starts with something common, like wisdom teeth that lack room to come in or a damaged tooth that cannot be saved with a filling or crown. Other times it supports a larger plan, such as preparing the jaw for dental implants or examining tissue that looks unusual.
Within our practice, oral surgery includes:
- Simple and surgical tooth extractions
- Wisdom teeth removal
- Bone grafting and sinus lift surgery to prepare for implants
- Dental implant placement, including full-arch options like All-on-4 and All-on-6
- Frenectomy, apicoectomy, and crown lengthening
- Oral biopsies and oral cancer screenings
Because our office brings general, specialty, and surgical care together, an extraction or graft can fit into your complete treatment plan. Families in Newbury Park also appreciate that we see patients of all ages, so one practice can care for everyone.
Many patients worry most about discomfort and nerves. We address both directly. Our practice includes a board-certified dental anesthesiologist, and we offer nitrous oxide, oral sedation, IV sedation, and general anesthesia. If dental anxiety has kept you from getting needed treatment, we can talk through which level of sedation suits your procedure and comfort.
Accurate planning matters just as much. We provide 2D and 3D imaging, including CBCT scans, and a board-certified oral and maxillofacial radiologist on our team interprets scans for impacted teeth and oral pathology. This detailed view helps us plan around nerves, sinuses, and bone before treatment begins.
Am I a candidate for oral surgery?
You may be a candidate if you have a tooth that is badly damaged, infected, or impacted, or if you need tooth replacement that requires bone support. Common situations include wisdom teeth that are partially erupted or crowding nearby teeth, a broken tooth below the gumline, or bone loss after a missing tooth that makes implants harder to place.
Oral surgery also helps with less obvious needs. A frenectomy can address tissue that restricts movement of the lips or tongue. An apicoectomy can treat a persistent problem at the root tip of a tooth that has had a root canal. A biopsy can provide answers about a sore or lesion. The best way to know is an exam and imaging, which lets us explain what we see and recommend a path forward.
What happens during the oral surgery process?
The process begins with a consultation where we review your concerns, examine your mouth, and take any imaging needed. We then explain the recommended procedure, your sedation options, and what recovery may involve, so you know what to expect before treatment day.
On the day of your procedure, our team confirms your plan, numbs the area, and provides the sedation you selected. Afterward, we review your aftercare instructions with you and anyone accompanying you. If your surgery is one step in a larger plan, such as a graft before an implant, we schedule the next stages. Our on-site dental lab helps us coordinate restorations within the practice.
How should I care for my mouth after surgery?
Follow the personalized instructions we give you, because aftercare depends on the procedure you had. Expect guidance on resting, protecting the treatment site, what to eat while you heal, and how to keep your mouth clean without disturbing the area.
Plan to take it easy after surgery, especially if you received sedation. If something does not feel right during recovery, call us. Our practice offers emergency dental appointments, so Newbury Park patients have a team ready to help if questions or concerns come up between visits.
How can I pay for oral surgery?
We accept all major PPO insurance plans, and we welcome self-pay patients. We also offer financing for patients who want to spread out the cost of their treatment.
Before your procedure, our team reviews your treatment plan and helps you understand your insurance coverage, so cost does not catch you off guard. If you are in Newbury Park and need an extraction, wisdom teeth removal, or other oral surgery, contact 805 Dentistry to schedule your consultation.
