Oral Surgery

In Newhall, CA

Gum recession is more than just a cosmetic issue, it can lead to sensitivity, root exposure, and even tooth loss. Soft tissue grafting helps restore your gum line by repositioning or adding healthy tissue, typically from your own palate. This not only improves the appearance of your smile but also protects your teeth and prevents further damage. You’ll feel more comfortable and confident with a stronger, healthier foundation.

When periodontal disease causes bone and tissue loss, guided tissue regeneration can help reverse the damage. This surgical procedure places a barrier membrane between the gums and bone to encourage natural regeneration of supportive tissues. Combined with bone grafting, it helps secure your teeth and prevent further progression of gum disease. If you've been told your teeth are at risk, this advanced treatment can help preserve your natural smile.

Advanced gum disease can create deep pockets between your gums and teeth, making it difficult to keep bacteria at bay. Pocket reduction surgery, also known as flap surgery, gently lifts the gums to remove harmful bacteria and smooth damaged bone. By reducing pocket depth, this procedure helps prevent future infections and makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene at home. It’s a powerful step toward preserving your teeth and restoring gum health.

Whether you want to improve the appearance of a gummy smile or need access to a tooth that’s broken below the gum line, crown lengthening offers both cosmetic and restorative benefits. The procedure involves reshaping gum and bone tissue to expose more of the natural tooth. It’s often done in preparation for a crown or filling, but it can also create a more balanced, attractive smile. We’ll guide you through every step for optimal results and a comfortable recovery.

We’ll always try to save your tooth—but when preservation isn’t possible, extraction can offer relief and protect surrounding teeth. Extractions may be necessary due to severe decay, infection, trauma, or overcrowding. Our team uses gentle techniques and local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the process. Afterward, we’ll work with you on a personalized plan to replace the missing tooth and restore your full, functional smile.

Tooth loss can cause your jawbone and gum tissue to recede, affecting both appearance and function. Ridge augmentation restores the natural contour of your jaw after an extraction or prior to implant placement. Using a bone graft, we rebuild lost structure to create a solid, supportive base. This improves the fit of dentures or bridges and prepares your mouth for successful implant treatment. The result is a healthier, more natural-looking smile.

If you’ve been missing a tooth for a while, your jawbone may have started to deteriorate—a process called resorption. Bone grafting rebuilds that lost volume using biocompatible material or donor bone to increase bone density and support future dental implants. It’s an essential step in regaining function, preventing further loss, and creating a strong foundation for long-term success. Our in-house CT scanner ensures precise treatment planning for the best possible outcomes.

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth—and for good reason. They look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with total confidence. Our team uses advanced imaging and planning tools to place implants with precision, so they not only feel natural but last for decades. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, implants give you your smile and quality of life back.

Tori are bony growths that can develop under the tongue or along the roof of the mouth. While harmless, they can interfere with speaking, eating, and wearing dentures or appliances. If you’re experiencing discomfort or planning restorative treatment, tori removal may be recommended. This routine procedure is performed with precision and care, helping you avoid complications and enjoy a better fit for future dental work.

Oral health is about more than teeth. That’s why we offer biopsies to examine any unusual tissue or lesions in the mouth. While most are benign, early detection of potential issues is critical. If we notice anything during your routine exam that warrants a closer look, we’ll explain the process and guide you with clarity and compassion every step of the way. Staying proactive helps ensure peace of mind and prompt treatment when needed.

Lip and tongue ties can affect speech, eating, and even breathing. A frenectomy is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that removes the excess tissue restricting movement. In infants and children, it can aid in breastfeeding and speech development. In adults, it can improve comfort, oral function, and even orthodontic outcomes. The treatment is safe, fast, and typically completed in a single visit, offering immediate relief and long-term benefits.

A dental abscess is a serious infection that forms when bacteria invade the pulp of a tooth. Symptoms can include swelling, fever, persistent pain, and bad breath. If left untreated, the infection can spread and lead to tooth loss or more severe health issues. Our team offers fast, effective treatment to drain the infection, relieve discomfort, and preserve your tooth when possible. Depending on the case, we may recommend a root canal or extraction as the next step toward healing.

When your jaws are misaligned, it can affect everything from chewing and breathing to your appearance and self-esteem. Orthognathic (jaw) surgery corrects these issues by repositioning the upper, lower, or both jaws for better alignment and balance. This treatment can improve function, relieve TMJ symptoms, and enhance facial harmony. It’s often recommended when orthodontics alone aren’t enough. We’ll work closely with you to create a plan that supports your health and long-term goals.
