Oral Surgery

Oral Surgery in Reading, MA

At MA Dental Care, we understand that the words "oral surgery" can sound intimidating. But many procedures are routine, safe, and designed to solve common dental problems like tooth loss, jawbone deterioration, or impacted wisdom teeth. Most treatments are completed in-office under local anesthesia with minimal downtime, and our team will walk you through every step to ensure comfort and confidence. Whether you're here for a tooth extraction or full mouth reconstruction, you’ll receive personalized, high-quality care using the latest surgical techniques.

Tooth Extractions

Tooth extraction may be necessary when a tooth is severely decayed, infected, fractured, or crowding other teeth. Extractions at MA Dental Care are performed with care and precision under local anesthesia. Whether it’s a simple removal or a more complex surgical extraction, our priority is to relieve your discomfort and preserve your overall oral health.

Dental Implant Surgery

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. These titanium posts are surgically placed into the jawbone to act as artificial roots, supporting crowns, bridges, or dentures. Over time, they fuse with the bone to provide a strong, stable foundation. At MA Dental Care, we plan and perform implant surgery with accuracy and attention to aesthetics, restoring both your smile and your bite.

Wisdom Teeth Removal

Wisdom teeth often emerge in the late teens or early twenties and can cause problems if the jaw lacks space. If they erupt normally but crowd surrounding teeth or cause pain, a simple extraction may be recommended. At MA Dental Care, we monitor the development of wisdom teeth and remove them when necessary to prevent complications.

Crown Lengthening

Crown lengthening is performed to expose more of the tooth structure by reshaping the gum and bone. This is often required for placing crowns or fillings when decay or damage lies below the gumline. It’s also used cosmetically to correct a “gummy” smile. This procedure allows for better restorations and improves the overall appearance of your smile.

Bone Grafts

Impacted Wisdom Teeth Removal

When wisdom teeth become trapped under the gum or bone, they are considered impacted. These teeth can cause swelling, infection, pain, and even damage to nearby teeth. We perform surgical extractions to safely remove impacted teeth, relieve discomfort, and prevent further oral health issues. Post-op care instructions are provided for a smooth recovery.

Bone grafting is sometimes needed when there’s insufficient bone to support a dental implant due to trauma, periodontal disease, or long-term tooth loss. The graft encourages new bone growth and strengthens the jaw for future implant placement. Our team carefully evaluates your bone density and uses the appropriate grafting technique to rebuild and restore your oral foundation.

Full Mouth Reconstruction

For patients with multiple dental issues, such as worn teeth, missing teeth, bite problems, or jaw discomfort, full mouth reconstruction offers a transformative solution. This comprehensive approach may involve a combination of extractions, implants, crowns, bone grafts, or periodontal treatment. At MA Dental Care, we customize full mouth reconstructions to restore function, aesthetics, and confidence, one step at a time.
