Our Oral Surgery Services

At Eck Dental Partners, we’re equipped to handle most oral surgeries in-house--precisely and efficiently.

Tooth Extractions

Saving teeth is always our goal. When removal is the healthiest option, Dr. Eck provides gentle, efficient extractions with local anesthesia and sedation options for a smooth experience.

Wisdom Tooth Extractions

Poorly positioned third molars can cause pain, decay, or crowding. Dr. Eck evaluates with 3D imaging and removes wisdom teeth when needed to protect long-term oral health.

Impacted Wisdom Tooth Extractions

For teeth trapped under gum or bone, a small opening allows the tooth to be sectioned and removed with minimal trauma. The area is cleaned and sutured for predictable healing.

Bone Grafts

After periodontal disease, tooth loss, or for future implants, Dr. Eck rebuilds bone with grafting so your jaw regains strength and volume where you need it most.

Sinus Lifts

In the upper back jaw, a sinus lift gently raises the sinus membrane and adds bone so implants can be placed safely and securely.

Alveoloplasty

Sharp or uneven ridges after extractions can interfere with implants or dentures. Ridge smoothing creates a comfortable, stable foundation for future treatment.

Tori Removal

Harmless bony growths can complicate dentures, bridges, or implants. Dr. Eck removes tori to make restorations fit comfortably and predictably.

FAQ

Does oral surgery hurt?

No. The area is thoroughly numbed, and we offer nitrous oxide, oral conscious sedation, and IV sedation when appropriate. Most patients feel pressure, not pain, and describe the visit as easier than expected.

How should I prepare for oral surgery?

Read and follow your pre-op instructions closely. Arrange a driver if you’re having oral or IV sedation, pick up prescribed medications in advance, and stock soft foods so you can focus on resting after the procedure.

What can I expect during recovery?

Healing time varies by procedure. Expect temporary swelling and tenderness; use cold compresses and take medications as directed. Rest, keep activity light for a few days, and follow your written home-care guide. We’ll schedule any needed follow-ups to check your progress.

Will I be able to receive sedation?

Yes--Dr. Eck is certified to provide multiple levels of sedation. We’ll match the option (nitrous, oral, or IV) to your health history and procedure so your visit feels calm and controlled. Local anesthesia is always used for pain control.

What are the do’s and don’ts after surgery?

Do rest, keep your head elevated, use cold packs the first 24 hours, and start gentle rinses as instructed. Don’t smoke, use straws, or do strenuous exercise right away, and avoid disturbing the surgical site with brushing or tough foods until we say it’s safe.
