Surgical Procedures We Perform

Oral surgery covers a range of treatments beyond what a general checkup addresses. At Nova Dental, that includes:

• Wisdom Teeth Removal: Extracting impacted or problematic third molars.
• Surgical Extractions: Removing teeth that are broken, fused to bone, or difficult to access.
• Implant Placement: Positioning titanium posts as a foundation for replacement teeth.
• Bone Grafting: Rebuilding jawbone density where it's needed before implants.
• Sedation Options: Comfort-focused approaches for patients who feel anxious about surgery.

Each treatment plan is built around your specific anatomy and goals, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Signs You Might Need Oral Surgery

Some patients are referred for surgery after a routine exam; others come to us already in discomfort. Common reasons Newark patients seek oral surgery include impacted wisdom teeth causing pain or crowding, a tooth that's too damaged or deeply rooted for a standard extraction, missing teeth that need implants to restore chewing function, and jawbone loss that needs to be addressed before implant placement. If any of that sounds like your situation, an exam near 07102 or 07107 can confirm what's actually needed.

Recovery and What Comes Next

Most oral surgery patients go home the same day with clear aftercare instructions covering swelling, diet, and activity limits. Healing time varies by procedure - a simple wisdom tooth extraction often settles within a week, while implant sites need several months to fuse with the bone before a permanent crown is placed. Our team stays available throughout recovery, and for anything unexpected, we also handle dental emergencies and tooth extraction if a separate issue comes up.
