Safe, Comfortable Oral Surgery When You Need It Most
At Cross County Dentistry, we prioritize saving natural teeth whenever possible—but sometimes oral surgery is the healthiest choice. Whether you’re dealing with a severely decayed tooth, a fracture below the gumline, or a tooth that cannot be restored, we provide compassionate, efficient surgical care in a calm and supportive environment.
When Is Oral Surgery Recommended?
Oral surgery is typically recommended when a tooth cannot be restored due to:
- Extensive decay or infection
- Severely cracked teeth
- Loose teeth from advanced periodontal disease
- Preparation for dental implants or dentures
- Orthodontic or crowding issues
Dr. DuRant will always perform a thorough evaluation and discuss all your options before recommending any surgical procedure.
Our Oral Surgery Services Include:
- Tooth Extractions: We perform simple and surgical extractions with a gentle approach and focus on post-op comfort.
- Treatment Planning for Tooth Replacement: If a tooth must be removed, we’ll help you plan for dental implants, bridges, or other restorative options.
- Socket Preservation (Bone Grafting): In certain cases, bone grafting may be recommended to prepare the site for future implant placement.
What to Expect
Your comfort is our priority. We use local anesthesia and other comfort techniques to ensure you remain relaxed throughout your procedure. After surgery, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and follow up to ensure proper healing.
