Expert Oral Surgery Care from Your Trusted Dentist in Sacramento
Most folks get a little bit of butterflies when they hear they need a tooth pulled. We get it. Whether you had a tooth crack while eating some sourdough in Old Sacramento or you woke up with a jaw that feels like it’s throbbing all the way to your ear, dental pain is no joke.
When you are looking for a Dentist in Sacramento, CA who can handle the tough stuff like pulling teeth or fixing bone loss, you want someone who is gentle but knows exactly what they are doing. At Tex Mabalon Dentistry, we perform Oral Surgery right here in our office so you don’t have to drive all over the Central Valley to see different doctors. We’ve helped our neighbors from East Sac to North Natomas get out of pain and back to their lives with a lot less stress.
Most Common oral surgery Procedures
Sometimes a tooth just can’t be saved, even if we try our best. Maybe a cavity got too big or the tooth is loose because of gum disease. When the tooth is visible and easy to reach, we perform Simple Extractions. We use special tools to carefully loosen the tooth and lift it out. It is a quick process, and most of our Sacramento patients are surprised at how fast it goes. We give you clear instructions on how to take care of the spot so you don’t get a “dry socket.” This is the best way to stop an infection from spreading to your other healthy teeth or into your jawbone. If you’ve been losing sleep because of a “bad tooth,” this simple fix can be a life changer.
Now, not every tooth is easy to grab. Sometimes a tooth breaks off right at the gum line, or a wisdom tooth is stuck and won’t come in right. This is where Surgical Extractions come into play. If you have a tooth that is “impacted” or has very curved roots, we have to be a bit more strategic to get it out without hurting the bone around it.
During this type of surgery, we might need to make a tiny incision in the gums to reach the tooth. We often see teenagers from McClatchy High or Sac State students who need their wisdom teeth out because they are pushing on their other teeth. We use modern tech to make sure the healing is fast. Even though it sounds “surgical,” it is a very common thing we do here in our Sacramento office. We make sure you are comfortable and relaxed the whole time, and we check in on you to make sure your recovery is going smooth as a walk in William Land Park.
If you have been missing a tooth for a while, or if an infection has eaten away at your jaw, your bone might start to get thin or “melt” away. This is a problem if you ever want Dental Implants in the future. To fix this, we perform Bone Grafting. We basically add a little bit of special bone material to the area to help your body grow new, strong bone.
We often do this at the same time we do an extraction. It “plugs” the hole and makes sure your jaw stays thick and strong.
Without enough bone, your face can start to look a bit “sunken in.” It’s a smart move that protects your smile’s foundation for years to come. By doing this early, we save you from needing much more expensive and complex surgeries later on.
