Our selection of oral surgeries offered at Eastside Modern Dentistry include:

Sinus Lift

A sinus lift is a surgical procedure that is often necessary for patients who require dental implants in the upper jaw. When there is insufficient bone density in the upper jaw, the bone needs to be augmented to provide a stable foundation for the implants. During a sinus lift, the maxillary sinus (the air-filled cavity above the upper teeth) is gently lifted to create more space for bone grafting material. This material then integrates with the existing bone, providing a stronger and healthier jawbone for implant placement.

Frenectomies

A frenectomy is a surgical procedure to correct a frenulum, a small fold of tissue that connects the tongue or lip to the mouth. When the frenulum is too tight or restrictive, it can interfere with speech, eating, and even breastfeeding in infants.

Types of frenectomy procedures include:

• Tongue frenectomy: Corrects a tight frenulum that restricts tongue movement.
• Lip frenectomy: Corrects a tight frenulum that affects the lip's ability to move.

Benefits of a frenectomy include improving speech, making eating and swallowing easier, aiding in breastfeeding for infants, and improving the appearance of the tongue or lip.

To learn more about frenectomies and determine if you or your child could benefit from this procedure, schedule a consultation with our experienced oral surgeons at Eastside Modern Dentistry today. We'll carefully assess your or your child's needs and recommend the best course of action.

Tooth Extractions

A tooth extraction is a procedure to remove a tooth from the mouth. This may be necessary for a variety of reasons, including:

• Severe tooth decay: When a tooth is so damaged by decay that it cannot be restored.
• Impacted wisdom teeth: When wisdom teeth are unable to grow in properly and cause pain or other problems.
• Injury or trauma: When a tooth is damaged due to an accident or injury.
• Orthodontic treatment: To make space for teeth to move during orthodontic treatment.

There are two main types of tooth extractions provided at Eastside Modern Dentistry. Our dentists will perform a thorough exam before selecting the optimal treatment plan for you:

• Simple extraction: A relatively straightforward procedure to remove a tooth that is visible above the gum line.
• Surgical extraction: A more complex procedure that may involve removing bone or tissue to access the tooth.

Wisdom Teeth Extractions

Wisdom teeth extraction is a common dental procedure to remove impacted or problematic third molars. These teeth often grow in at an angle or are partially or fully covered by bone, making them difficult to clean and increasing the risk of infection. Extracting wisdom teeth can help prevent future complications and improve overall oral health.

At Eastside Modern Dentistry, our team offers fully-bony wisdom tooth extraction, for those completely covered by bone and gum tissue, and partial-bony wisdom teeth extraction, for teeth that are partially exposed through the gum tissue. At your surgical consultation, our team will assess your oral health to determine whether a fully-bony or partial-bony extraction is best suited for you, and develop a tailored treatment plan.

Gum Surgery

Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, is a serious infection that can damage your gums and jawbone. Left untreated, it can lead to severe infection and even tooth loss. Gum surgery, or periodontal surgery, offers a solution through a variety of techniques tailored to address your specific needs.

Our surgical techniques can address both the health and cosmetic concerns associated with gum disease. For instance, a gingivectomy removes excess gum tissue that might be hiding teeth, improving function and aesthetics. A gingivoplasty reshapes gum tissue for a more pleasing smile. In cases where bone loss has occurred due to gum disease, bone grafting can be performed to create a stable foundation for the teeth.

Ultimately, gum surgery can significantly benefit your oral health in several ways. By treating the underlying gum infection and restoring healthy tissue, gum surgery helps prevent tooth loss. Additionally, procedures like a gingivectomy and a gingivoplasty can enhance the appearance of your smile. Finally, gum surgery eliminates persistent bad breath associated with gum disease by treating the infection at its source.

Root Canals

A root canal is a procedure to save a tooth that has become infected or damaged. During a root canal, the infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) is removed and replaced with a filling material. This procedure helps to prevent further infection and preserve the tooth.

Benefits of seeking root canal treatment include:

• Saving a natural tooth: Avoids the need for a tooth extraction.
• Relieving pain: Eliminates pain and discomfort caused by an infected tooth.
• Improving oral health: Prevents the spread of infection to other teeth.
• Enhancing aesthetics: Maintains the natural appearance of your smile.
