Oral Surgery services we provide:

• Dental Implant Placement: Tooth loss can significantly impact your quality of life. Dental implants offer a transformative solution by replicating your natural teeth from root to crown. Unlike many practices that refer patients out for implant surgery, we perform this advanced procedure in-house, utilizing state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise and efficient results.
• Wisdom Tooth and Surgical Extractions: Wisdom tooth extractions are often a preventative measure that can save you from future cavities, infection, and pain. This is a common procedure we perform because many patients’ jaws aren’t adequately sized to allow their wisdom teeth to fully develop and grow into an ideal position. Surgical extractions can be needed on other teeth when they are infected or damaged beyond repair. Following tooth removal we thoroughly clean the socket to ensure only healthy bone remains, then we rinse with ozone water and diffuse ozone gas into the socket prior to filling it with Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) which promotes healing.
• Bone Grafting / Sinus Lifts: Sometimes your natural anatomy or the way you’ve healed following tooth removal leaves an area where there isn’t enough bone to securely place a dental implant. Sinus lifts, bone grafts, and socket preservation grafts are sometimes necessary procedures to preserve or create the needed amount of healthy bone for the placement of dental implants.
• Pinhole Gum Grafting: Gum recession can lead to esthetic concerns and increased risk of sensitivity and cavities. The pinhole surgical technique offers a minimally invasive alternative to traditional gum grafting, using small incisions to reposition gum tissue without the need for scalpels or sutures, promoting faster healing.
• Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) Therapy: PRF enhances healing and reduces infection risk after surgery. This natural, biocompatible therapy accelerates recovery and is utilized in various oral surgery procedures.

At Nashville Restorative Dentistry, we offer a range of sedation options to ensure your comfort during oral surgery. Your customized sedation plan is created as our team assesses your individual needs and discusses the best sedation option to make your experience as stress-free as possible. Options include:

• Nitrous Oxide (Laughing Gas): A mild sedative that helps you feel relaxed while remaining fully conscious. It wears off quickly, allowing you to resume normal activities shortly after your appointment.
• Oral Conscious Sedation: This method involves taking pill form sedatives before and during your procedure to help you feel calm and at ease. You will feel drowsy and will not have much, if any, memory of your procedure, but will remain awake and able to communicate.
• General Anesthesia: For more complex procedures or patients with severe anxiety, we work with a trusted Dental Anesthesiologist to administer general anesthesia, ensuring you are fully asleep and comfortable throughout your treatment.
